Not many rivers on the N. Oregon coast that turn that aquamarine color. The Elk was pretty close to that same color on Friday. Too bad I fished the Sixes.....it wasn't that color...lol.
Great job on the nookers. A few years ago I caught a winter steelhead in the county park on that river that was just a hair over 41". I thought it was a winter chinook until I got it to the bank....
