No problem, one thing that I didn't have with me was dry flies, and later on in the day I did see quite a bit of action on the surface, so you might give them a try. It looked like there was a hatch of some sort going on, but I am a total novice when it comes to fly fishing so I am not sure on...

Went up Thursday night with my dad to Olallie, setup camp around 5pm. A few mosquitoes, but not too bad at the Peninsula campground. Fished for an hour or so from the bank that evening, nothing at all. Next day rented a rowboat around 8am or so and fished till around 6pm. It was really slow...

Hey guys, what do you think of using a line strength to fish weight ratio for one of the catagories? Catching the biggun on like a 4 or 6 lb test line seems like more of an accomplishment to me than just hauling it in with 80lb braided....

So, I have been looking for a spot around Corvallis that I can jump out on an extended lunch break for and dip a line in, any suggestions? I have gone to the confluence of the Mary's and the Willamette in years past, but that area is pretty sketchy these days it seems like. Anyone have any...

10-12" with a couple a little bigger. Small blue and silver blue fox spinner near the bottom with a real slow retrieve worked better than anything else. I showed around noon and was pretty slow, one or two per hour, then picked up near sunset.

So on a tip from RunWithSasquatch I headed up to Klickitat today to try my hand at some cutties. Was gorgeous up there today, and fairly decent fishing, but if anyone heads up, PLEASE BE CAREFUL near the bank. I misplaced a step and went into mud up to my knee, but luckily there was a log nearby...

Will do, thanks for the heads up

looks like it is on public land (at least according to google maps), I will check it out here sometime in the next week or so. Thanks!

Wow, thats a neat looking patch of water... is it private or public?

It was down a bit, but you could still get a trailer down to the water no problem. I had a lot of fun last summer there the few times I went, lots of action from the bank. Looks like the first stocking is valentines day this year, maybe I will try again after that or when the water warms up a...

Anyone had any luck recently out at Olalla lake (the one near Toledo, not Olallie). I have been out there two saturdays in a row bank fishing, and the only thing I've had on my line was a couple red belly newts that started chewing on my drowning nightcrawler. I tried varying leader lengths...

I dunno, I understand the intent behind all the rules and regs on some bodies of water like this, but come on, its like you practically have to be a frigging lawyer to fish the water.

I have had some near misses by my line snapping and sending a weight back at me, but I don't think I have ever gotten hit.... especially not like this! Teen speared in chest by float | The Sun |News

Has anyone been out crabbing recently? I know its sort of the wrong time of year for it, but I was itching to take the girls out and give it a try anyway.

True enough, just had to get there without being carried away :-p
