Oregon Coast Early Fall 2011 Grand Slam.
Chinook, Coho, Steelhead and Sea-run Cutthroat in the same day!
Landing all four local Oregon Coast anadromous species in the same day is quite a thrill for angler and guide alike.
We were lucky enough to guide to three of them throughout the month of October.
On days we didn't get all four species, we almost always landed a coastal triple.
This Fall, the Oregon Coast was as good as it gets!
