    Eugene fishing

    I've heard rumors of the town run starting, but most of the people I've talked to are still targeting steelies out there. Not sure if I've seen a confirmed catch yet. If anyone has any photos to get me motivated to start salmon fishing in Eugene I'd be beyond stoked

    Eugene fishing

    Where at? I've been dying to target springers down here. Drove up to Portland yesterday and hammered some, but would prefer to fish closer to home hahaha.

    Eugene fishing

    If you want to go Salmon fishing, head up to the Sandy right now if you're willing to drive. Still some steelhead in the valley, but salmon won't be down here for a little longer. I'm in the Eugene area as well

I've had *some* luck with the Blue Fox Vibrax in the past, but I feel like there isn't the perfect color to attract the Salmon and Steelies out here consistently. I want to make a lure that is similar to...

    Spring Chinook Fishing Mckenzie River

    Thanks troutdude, Spent some time looking through them but couldn't find anything super conclusive, aside from maybe below the Leaburg Dam starting in late May? It was helpful in deciding which gear and setups to use though. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but could hardly find anything...

    Spring Chinook Fishing Mckenzie River

    Hey all, I live in the Eugene area and have recently gotten super into Steelhead and Salmon fishing. Unfortunately I struck out with the steelhead on the Siuslaw this season, but I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Spring Chinook season I've heard so much about. I am relatively new to...
