ok but the only odd thing is the squawfish is native to the area and the blackberries are a invasive species. So you are taking a Native species squawfish and killing it and then going ahead and fertilizing a non-native invasive species blACKberries

Funny how we as humans think some species are not worth anything and others are.....it wasn't fifty years ago the BullTrout was considered a junk fish and people would catch them and toss them on shore and left to rot, now they are listed on the endangered species list and millions of dollars are being spent trying to reestablish them back into the system. It is probably how the Blackberries got there hold; all that fresh fertilizer . The point is that most species are native to this planet and we should treat them all with respect. That's right even the Lawyers...

Just my opinion.

Totally agree! I'm not a native species in the Northwest, either. (...and we are an Oregon Trail family.)

Went to Cook park yesterday (Sun.) Wow was it busy. I have never seen so many people fishing there. I think the word is out....It was frustrating in that most of these people were using worms. A Washington county sheriff came through while we were getting the canoe out (the motor works on it! sooo cool.) Anyway, the sheriff was checking for licenses. On his way out we asked if he had ticketed them for fishing with bait. He didn't even know about the new date of May 24th. The guys just kept fishing with worms. On our way back we saw plenty of others with worms out. What do you think on this? I didn't have a number to fish and game with me, and the sheriff had been out....but, if I had had the number, should I have called? Curious on your opinions.

Yeah no bait in the tualatin untill trout season starts. There really is a very very small chance of hooking a salmon or steelhead during these times so they impose a bait ban. We could have discussion of if it is really a needed rule? I do not think it is because the fishing pressure is so light anyway. Most of the times with a work and hook and weight you are going to be in the zone for bottom fish such as Catfish, squawfish.

Do we follow laws we like and just break ones we think are silly or don't like? Just asking. Most of us do it all the time when driving, why not when fishing?

Has anyone fished the Tualatin this season? What are the current temps?

FishSchooler · 05-10-2008, 06:01 PM

What lures do you use for the trout and bass/panfish in the river? I'm going there tomarrow(mother's day of 2008) hoping for some fish to eat or take pictures of. Please reply quickly, PM me if you'd like. I have Senkos, rapallas, rooster tails, BooYah spinnerbaits, bombers, powerbait, Balls o' fire(red salmon eggs), Berkley Gulp minnows (chartruese), colorful jigs, little tube things for panfish, and flies. What should I use?

Planning for the bank in Cook Park.

I use alot of Rat-L-Traps, spinnerbaits, and tube jigs for bass in the Tualatin. Never looked for trout.
