Awesome! Thanks for the link!

I have no idea why I can't get the pictures to upload upright.

Wifey brought this home today. Lady she bought it from said it had a lot of history. Being a transplant to the northwest I'd love a lesson. Any of you around in the 70's seen these before?

Yeah there were some nice fish there for the opener. I caught a couple just under 4 lbs along with a dozen or so 9-12". Can't wait to get back out to that lake!

Nice first chromer! Thanks for sharing!

In ponds like that power bait will work. A lot of guys like the brown color and shape it like hatchery food pellet. I personally prefer the colors white and nymph grape. Another thing to try is power eggs. I use them in white on a #18 treble hook. I put the egg on one of the hook points and put...

I love pulling up to lakes like that and limiting out in front of the home town hobos. I used to deal with the same crap in so cal. Guys would find the hot spot and call a handfull of their buddies to hurry over. Meanwhile a guy 30 yards away was getting skunked with his kids. Only a jerk...

Super cool! Can't wait to have that hand shaking excitement for my first time! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah you know I'm always researching. I'm much better at reading than catching fish! Actually I read about Hagg in my "fishing in oregon" book and know from experience trout like inlets which bring fresh cold oxygenated water and food. Hathchery trout will stay shalllow for weeks cause they are...

For sure man I would have been in a boat too if I had one. My point was actually that even with a boat sometimes its better to fish the shore. When the temps are cold and bass are lethargic, the trout will circle lakes 5-20 feet from shore, especially when fresh stocked. Later in the season when...

A little of everything power bait, night crawlers, power eggs, mouse tails etc. Took a couple dozen casts with spinners but the fish only wanted bait. Here are some pics. Kids actually wanted to leave cause they were tired of reeling in fish. We gave about a dozen to the guys next to us and...

Fish from the bank. We had our limit in 3 hours with a few broods. When the water warms up and the trout go deeper, then do some trolling and you should get more.

Fried chicken bones is the best crawfish bait I've ever used. I also used to catch catfish in california all the time with hot dogs.

Just curious as I have heard this opinion before. Not pre-tying leaders because of line twist? The line comes off of a spool with the same twist the first few casts my in my experience. The weight of your presentation and he current should straighten that once in water long enuff. Also the time...

I had some feathers and some corkies so decided to mess around. I drilled a hole in the corkies and ran feathers through. Then I plugged the holes with the plastic piece that bobber stops come tied to. The plastic tubes make them easy to thread line through. Just trying to use materials I have...
