As far as a decent all-around rod, one of those Berkley Air Buzz Ramsey dealios are pretty alright for the price. Maybe 70-ish bucks at BiMart. Just get an 8'6 medium action spinning rod and a not-too cheap reel.

Wait a minute - drifting plugs?! My mind is kind of blown right now.....

I didn't really know much about steelhead fishing until last fall when I found this forum. Since then I've learned quite a bit, a lot of that being just WHERE to learn, be it books, PM's, etc etc. I hit the Slaw COUNTLESS times last season with nary a hookup and STILL came back. I love it. I...

I just got a pair of Redington SubZero waders and I LOVE them. They're neoprene on the bottom, breathable up top, plenty of pockets...they're great. The fly shop downtown in Ashland has them form about a 230 or so. I was waist-deep in the rogue this afternoon (it was about 38 degrees out) and...

Excellent!

I've got a Deuter as well. They're amazing, and my little guy is only about 20 months, so he only weighs about as much a fire pack. He usually just falls asleep in it.

Howdy, y'all. Recently moved down to Merlin from a much wetter part of the state. Was wondering about some good fishing holes within about an hour or so of town. Selmac looks fun, but what else is there? A buddy from work said there's some neat ponds near Onion Mt, anyone know anything about...

Sounds like my experience with 'Slaw this year! Oh well, better get those trips in now before gas goes up again......

Where on the Willamette? About what time do they show up near Eugene?

He had a lot gumption for a little guy!

My buddy and I hit up the 'Slaw right downstream from the mouth of Whittaker Creek yesterday from about lunchtime 'till dark. We went 0-1, saw a few hooked, a couple landed, and then there was that little 9 inch native :think: (trout?) that hit my big 'ol silver Stee-lee spoon and made it on...
