04/01 - 04/03 Cathlamet, WA

I have never been to this harbor before . What is it like and what does it have to offer. What should i expect to see and do there?? We are just starting to figure out what gatherings we can make this year. we hope to make most of them in the washington north oregon area. is there a web site for this harbor?
 
:mrgreen: Cathlamet is the 2nd oldest township in the state of Washington. Located 20 miles west of Longview on the Columbia River. County Seat of Wakiakum County, poplulation 3500 (for the whole county). Primary source of income, fishing and logging.

Fine Dining - We have a resturant up town, and I hear they are going to be operating a hot dog concession stand in the parking lot at the harbor this year.
Shopping - There's a mega mall out on the highway, consists of a Shell station, Plaid Pantry, liqour store and video rental.
Nostalgia - There's a museum one block from the harbor.
Entertainment - Once a year in the early spring the town is invaded by a group of C-brats. It's a social gathering for some, but there is an underlying purpose for most... the pursuit of the wily Columbia River Spring Salmon. There will be salmon on the BBQ, stories told of the day's battle with the scaley nomads. Much fun will be had. Saturday night will be potluck!
 
Understatement of the year! We'll be there! And this time, leavin' the durn dog at home, not worrying about him getting eaten by no stinkin' sea lion again! Room on Helen O for a "seasoned" Cathlamet wannabe fisherman?

Yo Pat

After the fish whippin you put on the springers last year, I'm thinkin that you ought to be put in the "fishin guide" catagory for this year.
 
helen o thanks for th e reply and info ,but I was wandering if they have a launch or sling? showers and rest rooms, power , place to park the rigg over night? can we cook on the dock? you know all the little things that make boating fun.
 
Tom

Good questions, the harbor has a boat launch, showers, restrooms, parking, RV parking with hookups (probably want to call in early and reserve them though), concession stand, power to the docks and we've got the covered eating area reserved for the weekend. The covered area has a bbq and 7 picnic tables.
Jackie is the new harbormaster, her phone is 360-795-3501

Looking forward to meeting you there. Feel free to ask if you've more questions.

Note: they just opened up another resturant just 2 blocks from the harbor.

Yep, Jim Mast just retired from the harbor a few months ago. He's doing well, still drives the school bus for the kids. One of these years you're going to have to come back and see your ol buddies here.
 
A new rub for Daydream...on April 1, will she be the "old" 22' or the new 25'? Only time will tell, one thing for sure, I'll be there, with or without a boat!
 
Larry, I am planning on coming down and fishing on the Primative, so I will not be bringing my boat. Is there a place to stay in town? Robbi
 
:mrgreen: Congratulations Pat, David and Jim! Now that is cool!

Robbi, there are some bed & breakfast places in town. I'll go rummage around in last years thread a see if I can dig up the info. BTW, glad to hear you're going to make it down.

Hey Robbi, I'll have our boat in the water but will be spending the night here in our home. You're welcome to spend the night on the Hotel Helen O.
 
Larry, that is very nice of you to offer. I would like to take you up on that. If I sleep on a 25, I may have to buy a 25! Not a bad idea. Robbi
 
Hey Larry, does the invite on the Helen O still good? I sure would like to get that fishing lesson if possible. We sure missed you at the SBS.

Yo Fred

You betcha on the invite & fishin. Although I'm thinkin that Lyle T. is the only one that is certified to give lessons on springers (so far). I haven't talked to him lately about it, but I think he's planning on being aboard for the lesson part.
