Andy, based on your statement about combat fishing I could give you a suggestion. i wouldn't normally recommend it because it isn't a classic fly fishing experience but you should try Purdy creek on the Hood Canal around mid july through mid august. I caught many chinook on that little creek/river this past summer. The water usually runs very clear which brings out the gear fishermen and the snaggers but there is usually a stretch or two where you can get away from the crowds and still have a good number of fish to cast at. I might be a couple of weeks off with my time frame but my fishing journal is not here at my house so I am going off memory. Good luck
