Been there and done that Charlie. Yup the fishery is pretty amazing. When I started to fish the Salmon River it was the late 1970's. Polaski had only a couple of places to stay and my first visit about 8 of us stayed in one room at the Log Cabin right in the center of town. I have fished all the rivers in the region except the Black. For some reason we never tried it. The lake fishing was fun but spring steelhead fishing on the river was my favorite. The salmon run was OK but it was kind of overkill. I even got to go down the river in a drift boat once. We put in at the school house pool and went down to a bridge just above town. It was great to fish the Douglaston run before it was pay to fish. Back then you just parked in the field and walked down and fished anywhere you wanted to.
