Your right - I shouldn't post form the salt mine. Last year ther was some
fly only water, this year I hadn't seen any one there without a fly rod.
Still if Mus looking for a place close to Portland the Wilson may be it.

Any suggestions for fishing near Portland for someone who is headed
there
on a weeklong business trip (Mon - Fri)?

If you are going to be on the west side of Portalnd you can get to the
Wilson river faster than you can get to rivers on the East side. The
Wilson runs along side highway 8 for about the last 10 or 15 miles.
Highway 8 is the route from the Portalnd area to Tillamook.
The state website is reporting Chinook in the Wilson.

Like all rives aroung here they can change radically in a few hours.
The Wilson has a flys only section. I'll see what else I can find.
I can send you a scan of the maps and the section on the regs telling
you where the flys only section is etc.
I would like to go with you but the domestic situation is such that I
am Cinderella for the time being.


Couple of corrections:

The Wilson runs along highway 6, not 8. And there is no flys-only
section.....but other than that everything else is right. :-)
