Exploring up the Algae River (Willamette)

Launched off at West Salem, Wallace Marine Park, to see if I can find clear enough water to cast a line without snagging up a pound of algae at the end of my hook.
Decided to go exploring and see just how far upriver I can go. Surprisingly, I got pretty far. I stayed on the east bank and an island kept most of the fast current away. I then spied a small slough on the west bank, and I had to try and get there.
What I found would be a good place mid-summer. Water temp is too low now to really keep the larger fish in there. But when the nights are not as cool and the water stays a little warmer, I see good potential. But only one way to get there. Sorry, private property, so no way to bank fish. And, yes, somebody heard me talking to the camera and came to the bank to look at me. Homeless? Perhaps, but I think it is not safe to try your luck trespassing.
