well hell ya, Brat alumni are welcome, that Camano would make a good dance hall ...I'm not dead I've just been in a work induced coma the last few years.
Slo Hand, you gotta attend, you have to point us to where the fish are...
It sounds like we'll be having us a another Cathlametstan gathering, now we just need to nail down the best weekend. I'd recommend the weekend before Easter if folks want to fish. _________________ Ken

we would definitely try to join you all, I haven't yet fished the Columbia other than one sturgeon charter about 8 years ago, so it would be great to get the C-Dory out there. _________________ Dustin |

Ken, if I come down I definitely want to fish. 10 years ago, it seemed like the springer run tended to peak around tax time but in the past 4-5 years, it's tended to peak later in April. The early edge of the peak seems to be pretty steep but the numbers taper off more slowly. Hence, I've found it better to be a little late for the run than too early. HOWEVER, that depends greatly on the quota and if the allowable down river quota has been caught too early, too late is then a problem since even though the fish are there you aren't allowed to catch them. So either that weekend you are suggesting or the following one (Easter weekend) is probably the best combination of being there at a good time and before the quota runs out.
I think I'd prefer Easter weekend but some may want to avoid that for religious reasons. But IMHO teaching someone to fish or actually fishing is close enough to a religious experience for me. _________________ Roger on Meant to be |

I'll give the marina a call today and see what they have going on in April.
I fear fishing could be shut down after Easter & as the season progresses the fishing generally slows down downriver...cuz Mikes been hammering on them so I'll check on the week before
I have noticed many folks find religion when they're hooked up to a big halibut. More than once somebody will be about ten minutes into battling a big one and I hear "oh Jesus" chanted repeatedly....I always point out that if they reel up Jesus, I'm quiting
I'm going to clean some of the boating stuff out of my shed and use it for bingo prizes...if anybody is interested in some bingo action |

Hey We're in for the weekend before Easter! Ken, is the traditional road kill potluck part of the venue or is bingo replacing it?

How about road kill & bingo?
I told the nice lady at the marina to brace themselves for a C-Dory invasion April 10, 11 and 12. I reserved the roadkill BBQ area for Saturday night the 11th....I may bring some fish I could cook up just in case Roger doesn't limit out.
Tyboo Mike, are you game? gotta have Mike there
IT'S ON

I'm in Las Vegas right now. Don't bug me.
Have to go see George Strait on the 11th but I should be able to work it into the social calendar for Saturday. Sounds like great fun. It's been too long since we did that. How am I going to get there, I wonder? _________________ TyBoo Mike

Ken,
I did the web site brouse. No fees mentioned for moorage, launch or parking. Maybe you can find out and post since that info is not on their site.
I did the reservation request form on line.
I would stay on the boat at the dock (preference) instead of on of their cabins or yurts. May have company that would RV there but to soon to know.
Interested in cruising the river, fishing -- not so much.

Harvey, a cruise through the back waters to Astoria would for sure be on the menu.
For some reason that web site doesn't mention the marina part of the equation much. As far as reservations, I told the harbormaster to expect 10-15 boats, she said they'll clear the runway and to just have folks check in when they show up.
Mike- Vegas, lucky dog, did you see any strange people? It would be great if you could make a guest appearance, long time, no see. |

Moorage space is never a problem at Cathlamet. The facilities (showers, restrooms and eating area) are excellent. The town is only a 2-3 block walk away. There are many good side trips to be taken within 15 miles of the marina including the route through the Clifton and Prairie channels to Tongue Point (Astoria). There's a good launching ramp and fuel but no fuel service on Sunday for those of you who will be coming down on the river.
Speaking of coming down on the river, the Coast Guard has removed the buoys marking the channel on the eastern half of Cathlamet Bay so unless you're familiar with the bar that runs across it midway down the better choice is to come in from the west. _________________ There’s only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Thanks Mike.
ChuckP, how do you feel about leading another back water tour? It would be like momma duck with her brood in tow having a flock of C-Dorys following your Camano...it would make a cool picture.
Hopefully the weather Gods are nice and the fishing season is still on.
