i live up in northern california and ii own a driftboat wanted to plan a roadtrip but dont know where to go was thinking about up in oregon and washingto any suggestions on places to fish ive only fished in oregon once on the chetco any suggestions would be great

Try to keep your trip flexible until the last possible moment and leave when you are sure there will be an open window of fishable water at your intended destination. Nothing would suck worse than towing your boat 1000 miles only to be Pineapple Expressed right off the river.

Ever been to the Olympic Peninsula? Not exactly a tourist mecca but if the rivers are in shape you are sure to have an enjoyable trip.

So Many Rivers, so little time!
Hatchery runs are weak. Wait for awhile. Maybe March for Catch and Release of Natives.
Try H2O's favorite, the Hoh! He loves company :p

You don't have to go THAT far.

In Oregon, try the Rogue, the Sandy, or most Tillamook-area Rivers (e.g. Wilson, etc..).

There are summer steel available in the Upper Willamette and John Day rivers.

I'm not sure when you are planning your trip, but the Santiam River is one of my favs.

HTH and may Nerka cuddle your line!

What about the Smith, the Eel, and the Russian all right there in CA? I have a road trip planned down on the Smith next weekend. Can't wait for one of those big bad a$$ nates to make my reel sing!

Shoot, you'll be driving by the Umpqua, the Rogue, and the MacKensie to get here. I'd stop there. Santiam is good, Clackamas is good, the Kalama is nice, the Lewis, The Wilson.

Those should keep you busy for a while.
