I spent a few days up at Clear Lake(Mt. Hood) camped out no fish moved to upper Clackamas upstream from Austin Hot Springs camped out caught & released(the rule there) lots of wild trout; rainbows, cutthroats and a few brookies. Hooked a into a wild winter steelhead(ODFW won't let summer steelhead, which are not native, up that far) released it and later caught a wild spring Chinnok released it too. Took some cool pics GoogleEarth posted them permanent the other day. In GoogleEarth go to Panaramio look for pics by Jnakin.
All in all a great vacation, the Clackamas part. Had a heck of a T-storm on the upper Clackmas, shot cool video of lightning above my campspot scared the bejeebas out-of-me & I found out forest fire started six miles from me. Awesome.
Tomorrow is supposedly the last dump into the Alton-Baker Canal of 600 one pounders. Thinking of going. Lots of times the hatchery people will load some real big fish into the tankers. Almost a tradition.

Thanks for the report,bigfootfish. Sounds like you had quite an experience up there! Glad you made out alright with the fishing down lower. Last month the thunder and lightning took it's own sweet time going over our house here in Dallas. I know I don't have any ba-jeeba's left in me either!
That is totally awesome about Google permanently displaying your photo. Congratulations! There are a bunch of you photogs on the forum, ya know.
Let us know how you did if you made it back out today. Thanks.

Hi, Barb. Thanks and can I ask a question? How do I get to my photos you say I have in the forum? I can't seem to figure out how to get there. This website could be more user-friendly. I also have a 5 mega-pixel camera and it takes great photos but OFF has such tiny pic limits.

I'm jealous, my Canon just 2 mp. As for pic limits - they are default. As no one before indicated this problem I didn't change settings. What limits you would consider "good"?

bigfootfish

Hi. Well, alot of my photos are in the 4 MB range, though some go as low as 700 kb. How's that for starters?

Gotcha. The thing is about the picture dimensions. In configuration of the forum it set to max width 700 pixels & max height 600 pix. The pictures with bigger dimensions just don't feet the monitor screen of most users. Of course there are some lucky guys who have huge monitors, but they are just 2%. So that's why pictures have to be resized to 700X600. And if you resize you pictures you will have no problem with posting them as a 5 mb picture will become a 100k one after resizing. Do you have any photo editing software?

P.S. Do you have your pictures published online? May be on another forum or something? Were you able to upload 5M pix? I agree that it should be not your problem when you want to upload a picture but my problem to make it as easy as possible for you. However I don't have a solution right now. But I'll make a little research - may be I'll find something.

P.P.S. Thanks Bigfootfish for helping us make our nice place nicer

bigfootfish;
Sorry to confuse you over the photo issue. What I said was "you have other photogs on the forum". A photog is an avid photographer. There are quite a few photographers on the forum you can share with and ask questions of.
Let me know if I can help in any way. Sometimes it is actually better to ask questions of the person you were dealing with than to go to someone not involved. We do pride ourselves on our friendliness and willingness to care & share. I do not have all the answers, but I will try my best to find you the answer.
Barb
