I was supposed to go to the dam, but I ended up not going, hit up West linn dock instead and that was crazy. Tons of fish jumping there, I have never ever seen sturgeon jump like that, we talking a fish every 5 minutes, and most were large! Some would jump so close to the dock, crazy.
Tough place to fish, lost led galore, you get snagged every third or second cast. Fish seem to be large though, really large. Twice I had fish on that started peeling line like crazy, lost them both within 5 minutes. I then brought in a 6 footer, that was a fun fight, lasted 35 minutes or so. About an hour later, and one more lost fish, I hooked into something that immediately felt big. Fought it for over 45 minutes and by that point I was so done! Ended up losing it right at the top like feet away from the top, I could see its shape but no idea how large. This thing went on some insane runs with my drag set as tight as I could, my Sealine was peeling. Call me weak, but after that I was done... my body was aching and I was starving. Fun place to fish, but the current it insanely strong, so you always end up under the dock, even with 12 ounces and better be ready to lose lots of gear, there is no way around it.
