Tualatin River - Page 9

dollar store tackle is the worst of the worst I tried some of it one time for kicks and giggles and oh boy. The stupid lures spin like crap and you can rely on them and are made with the crappiest metal possible. I highly recommend when fishing to use the best possible gear because the time you have that big fish on you do not want to have dollar tree tackle fail on you.

Where are the cats?Channel cats would be nice?I also would like to know if anyone is aware if Tualatin is off green algae alert?

FishSchooler · 07-27-2008, 09:03 AM

I dont know about channel cats, but there are lots of cats in the river system, most by the mouth of the t river. White cats and bullhead I think, but you need to reach theh bottom of the river to get them, but if you bottom fish or something, its a 99% guaranteed snag, cause there are so mannnnnnnnnnnnny bushes and sticks and everything down there. Lots of algae too.

Welcome Linda. I have seen some Cats caught at Cook park off the beach by a small park bench. I think they were just using worms.

All the squaws and suckers will suck your worms before the cats can though!

My 18 year old know it all(and he is pretty good when it comes to catchin fish)has just informed me that he and his friend are driving over from Olympia.So Ill wait,had my fun with suckers before,when I was a teen my brother and I would throw line over a bridge in Colorado-Roaring fork river near Carbondale.We hoped for trout but always got suckers.Suckers suck!Are they an endagered species or ?Anyone ever tasted one?
just drove to Cook Park but soooo crowded with parties,sporting events.Not alot of water action seen.Going to ride bikes down there so we can get a good spot and exercise too.If we catch we can always drive back to haul dinner back home.

You all will think I am silly but a few years ago my son and his friends caught about 10 blue gill at Battleground lake in Wa.They brought them to me alive.I did not really to eat them so I got a kiddie pool and kept them for about 8 weeks.After that long it got a bit tiring to feed and clean after them.
fast forward to today.I am styling with a nice pond in backyard,have 4 channel cats bought at pet store but they are 7-10 inches long now.Is it legal to catch blue gill and keep them as pets instead of eating.They are pretty and easy keepers.?Anyone know?

FishSchooler · 07-27-2008, 04:57 PM

I think you are allowed to keep bluegill, since they are just like baitfish and all, but just dont take too many! maybe 20 is enough to keep a sustained pop in a small pond.
Oh yeah, I ate suckers before, they arent that bad, but I wouldnt call them that great either. They have nice texture, but not that good of a taste. But the meat is reallllllly tender, and tasty if you cook them the right way!
