hey tom, are there any good shore spots on the cedar river? and how late do the fish generally stay in that area, any info would be great

Hey BigDog! I have had some good Salmon action throwing Cleos and crankbaits along the north shoreline right in the mouth near the boat landing and up the river to the first rapids. Let us know how you do.

Thanks Tom, Is all that area public? how long will those fish be catchable? May not make it up for a couple weeks

The Marina and much of the shoreline is accessible. It will not peak for 2-3 weeks yet. There is a State Park just south of the river mouth, ( J.W.Wells State Park).
