I'm referring to the Smith River that flows into the Umpqua.  I've never fished this river, though I've heard plenty of stories about the stripers here.  Can anyone point me to some launch spots in the tidewater section?  I'm only aware of the ramp down by Hwy 101.  I'd be using my Hobie Revo, so primitive boat slides will work too.

Been too long since I've felt the rod-yanking pull of a good striper  ;D.
