Community might be willing to share with me. Will be taking both spin and fly rods and not to interested in ocean fishing as have done it in a few places off the west coast already. Many thanks in advance

I don't know much about the rivers, but they are all over the place with salmon returning while you will be here. Should be coho returning to some of the rivers, which I think is the most fun to catch as they readily take lures like blue fox spinners, maribou jigs and gibbs spoons like Koho and Croc casting spoons. Coho like hanging out in deeper slower runs and slack waters. So cast your lures through that slower water and hang on because they will slam lures, run and jump to any fishermans delight.
