I completely agree that it would be near impossible to find water on the little salmon that is vacant during chinook season, but I would not fish that river during chinook season way to crowded for my liking and not safe for my children in my opinion. But I have regular success getting away from the crowds by simply walking around the bend, in most situations people do not want to walk far distances to fish. Which I find funny because many of us also hunt and are willing to walk up and down ridgelines all day.
