  I hiked down first , then up after a couple of hours , and still didn't see all I wanted to. There's an easy access trail by foot, but you have to choose where you go down when the waters running pretty good. I got stuck at a few places where i didn't want to risk toppling over and getting my gadgets wet :D
  Rod was right when he told me you really need to spend a few days exploring, and even then there are more spots to find and the river is always changing.
 
 On second thought, I'll most likely go back ;)
 
 I also found that there's lots of different access points from different roads. There easy enough to find if you take the time.

Went out today with my buddy Dan. Fished lower river  and was briefly into 2 fish but it got off within seconds.
Nothing much happening at the canal. Nice water level and clarity but no fish though!!

Drove to another spot and saw Rod and his dad leaving around 9:00 a.m in the morning(probably to another location). I was hoping to fish this area but they were too many guys fishing it already.

Drove and fished above the KWB but not much happening either. Saw a couple of springs.

My Bare breathable started to leak heavily after that and I had water up to my butt. Frozed my butt off and I could hardly walk after that. Drove to Hubs and bought a new pair from Roger. Thanks Roger for the great price.

Will try again maybe on Thrusday.

My advice is instead of asking Rod where to fish and what he's using is to experiment and to explore. You can catch coho on various different things, spoons,spinners,flies,roe bags,water hardened eggs, gooey bobs, Jensen's, etc... Allot of the time its just being at the right place at the right time. Of course their is skill involved but that comes with time. Don't be too impatient and try various techniques and bait.

although its not so important but fishing at first light can increase your chances of hooking into fish.....but you gotta get up around 4:00am. if daytime doesn't work anyways. more rain coming so holding spots on the river are gonna change again. Just great" "!!

Part of the fun in fishing is figuring stuff out for yourself  8)
