I was replying to the title "upper Willamette". Asking specifically how far upriver this guy experienced catching catfish. The Willamette is a large system and "upper" has been used to describe everything from Albany on up to Oakridge. I'm just curious how many if any have been caught in the...

How far "up river" we talking?

Have a pair of North River Bostrom suspension seats in good shape with folding armrests. 1000 OBO for the pair

What about waldport? My boat is 13ft and short transom, I hear this bay may be better for me than Florence.

I will be out on a small boat crabbing the bay Sunday for my first time. Any tips? Is 50ft of weighted line enough to play with as long as I avoid the deep hole? Thanks!

I have heard of people using bait divers with side planets from shore. Sounds like an intricate setup but could be productive.

I will be chasing the springers close to Springfield soon. Also some summer steelhead soon too. Message me if you would like.

I was up lake Creek Saturday but only found a couple old coho. I will try Siuslaw maybe this coming Saturday. I wouldn't mind driving a little to an earlier producing river but with as little as I know I should stay close.

So is this the creek above the reservoir? Or a separate creek completely? Thanks!

I think lake Creek is open for Chinook starting Oct 15th through Dec 31. So closed currently and once open the wild coho season is over. Yeah I think I'll take everyones advice and stick to chucking hardware from the rocks. Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the tips. Super awesome that you share so much great advice on here. I have learned a ton from you. I think I will will stay in the bay near the north jetty with a few rods and a box full of spinners and buzzbombs. Thanks!

Thanks! I know of 2 caught above mapleton but that's it. Last weekend the coho were stacked just outside the jaws. So I'm hoping that Rhody drive or the north jetty will be productive Saturday during the incoming tide.

Thanks for info! I know I have until Oct 15th this year if I am able to find one. Going to throw spinners from north jetty on Saturday and then fish upriver from mapleton on Sunday. All bank bound.

You get into these while chasing some early winter steel? I was always curious if they went for any of the jigs or spinners I throw for steelhead. Thanks!

Hey yall, thanks for any input on the following subjects. I really appreciate this forum and all you guys willing to have a conversation and share a bit. I will be visiting Florence this coming weekend and plan to fish both upriver with bobber/eggs as well as from the rocks at north jetty with...
