Keep-in-mind on a southerly, the tide/current come into play at Kalama. On a ripping spring ebb, you'd need a lot of southerly wind. I've eyeballed it over-the-last-20-years on a big spring southerly (usually while spring salmon fishing in the rain), it's always seemed very uninviting.

I like your tips and tricks and beginners sections! There is a lot of excellent info to be extracted from this and other forums. Good idea to put it in one organized place. Keep it up! Thumb's Up
