I would say that about 90% of the smallies I've caught on the main have a crawdad in their belly, you can see the tail hanging out their mouth!!!

I'm interested to hear if the bass are biting, later this week the water may warm up a bit with the sun out finally!

Good call, nothing special, but she does the job and has good action

I'd do a quick search here, I recall reading about ponds scattered throughout the area. Shouldn't be hard to find

Waiting for a friend to get home from work, the boy and I threw in the poles for an hour of fishin at our favorite little lake close by. Arrived at about 8:15, both of us threw spinners (blue fox & rooster tail) which typically work well here, with no luck, not even a bite. About 15 minutes in...

Alright, changed up tactics tonight, took a better lookin fishing buddy!! Had a good time to say the least. Nabbed one trout, and three fair smallies in the 9" range. Fun afternoon with the kiddo ;)

Nice, made quick work of that!! If ya don't mind, which river system are you fishing?

Ok, my son and I have been hitting the South Umpqua from Rivers West RV park ( just north of Myrtle Creek) up to where I-5 crosses near MP 100. We've been able to catch smallies, but just the little effer's, getting irritating. By little I mean, 6" and under. Fun to catch and all, but looking...

Good to know, moved out of Albany couple years ago but still frequent there. Thanks

It isn't that bad, they eat grass anyhow, mind over matter. :)

I've always wanted to get out on that lake, but never had. Looks to be a weed infested slough, but might keep the pressure down. Ive fished the stretch from Waverly lake to where it dumps into the Willamette with a bit of success, bass and small trout
