RAIN seems to be the missing ingredient right now. Whew! I was thinking it was all "pilot error" on my part. And when i say dropping water is goof - i mean falling after a decent gusher of a rain. I am enjoying getting to know the rivers around Portland also - and I don't mind hooking a...

I am praying for rain. literally praying. that is saying a lot. and however much selfish whining i do.... California has it way worse. I should be praying for the farmers first then the poor ski resorts.... ha !

I am sort of glad to hear other experienced fisherman can hit this outrageously pretty river and go fishless. I missed all the high water of last week... boo hoo ... and hit it on MLK day - and saw about a dozen other guys on the lower river. Fishing river in what I would consider very low and...

Sounds like you have the fever - and eventually you will get into fish. "Fish it hard" was the advice I got on the Sandy. Me being relatively new to this area also. I go whenever I have the day off.... but it seems like you need the water level (dropping) water clarity (some color) and water...

tough to say tough to say I suppose it if it was a serious epidemic the state police would set up a sting and they'd have somebody nabbed in short order. My guess would be the thieves do it randomly and intermitently - based on what the Tillamook Police told me. But that would imply that a...

Eastcoaster gets first Steelhead Eastcoaster gets first Steelhead I have to say having the vehicle robbed got me down. But not enough to subdue the fishing urge for very long. I did not get a day off this week so i wasn't out - but that was really the only reason. Really trying hard to...

We got hit yesterday at a pull-off on the Wilson River - the thief broke a window got a duffel full of clothes, a spinning reel, sunglasses etc. ($600!) While also leaving some visible fishing gear and a jacket that were loose on the floor. It is a huge bummer and you feel angry enough to...
