Bear creek arm is full of crappie, bullhead, smallies and some nice large mouth. The whole side from the dam up bear creek holds good fish. I don't know much about the rest of the reservoir good luck.

From big cliff dam to packsaddle is closed for fishing new regs for 2015. I can confirm your reports there are fatty trout and steelies in there. I caught my first summer steelhead on a fly in that section. That section has some very good spawning beds and with this years lack of snow pack it...

I did a mothers day float below lebanon. We saw quite a few salmon but couldn't get anything to bite. Water was pretty low for this time of year and its warming up fast.

Oh yeah! Over here in central oregon Prineville reservoir, davis lake and wickiup are all good. I pretty much learned how to fly fish at Prineville res and ponds around albany. Top water at davis in the reeds takes the cake. I have caught my biggest smallies on the willamette right in Albany on...

Bet that woke you up. My dad lost one last week on the siletz of all places I watched it chase his spinner to the boat next cast fish on he played for a minute then it realized it was hooked adios amigos.

I just got back from the middle around steelhead falls it was slow. lots of hatches and very few risers it got super windy. I can't wait for the lower section to open. I have had some of my most productive days (#s+ huge bows) nymphing before the salmon fly hatch. A size 18 or 16 red, black...

I like many others expected this week to produce so I took the week off and fished the alsea for four days strait. I floated the same stretch on Friday saw and heard of one fish hooked. Fished Saturday which I never do saw more people and parking lots full from the hatchery to rivers edge than I...

While I don't know that section of water I do know trout in my area trout are very migratory within the river system changes occur during seasonal shifts, spawning, bug hatches, water temp and water levels. That being said they are either most likley upstream or up the nearest tributaries. Keep...

Knock those mutha suckers out Mike

I think you messed it all up when you said "fly man". Fly girls then its on!!

Fish4life nailed it for BBQ smoking. I smoke everything from nuts, oysters, fish, poultry, fruits and veg. For most of my smoking I prefer alder, Hickory, apple, cherry, for pork, beef and game i use mesquite for a good deep smoky flavor on dark or red meats. As a chef I have experimented with...

Yeah I wasn't thinking about jacks but that's a good point. I was living back in the mid valley in 2009 and 10 when there was coho showing up in large numbers where they had never been seen before. I hooked up with one coho on the yamhill where there were coho rolling everywhere. Then proceeded...

You will have to register your tube and display #s. I can't even get myself to do it to my canoe and I have an electric trolling motor for it that I just leave at my buddies house so he can use it for his boat. But its hard to beat lake fly fishing in a tube with an intermediate line. The tug is...
