    Columbia River Basin Endorsement

    I have it with my Oregon license, but do I need to purchase another one with a 1 day WA license or is my current basin permit still good?

    Royal trout slam

    The access didn't seem tough at all, it's an easy hike with a nice trail. I don't know how far it goes though and from my understanding eventually you hit the Indian Res? I couldn't see any roads that would take me further than Bridge 99?

    Royal trout slam

    I was pretty excited when I caught that one after remembering you saying not many can say they catch one on their first go. The rabbit strip streamers I made up must've done the trick! :friendly_wink: I saw a good hatch in the early afternoon with some bow's rising but to be honest I was pretty...

    Royal trout slam

    I moved up a couple months ago from Reno and I fish for Goldens in a few glacial lakes in the Central Sierras in California. It's the toughest trout of the slam without a doubt. Lots of strenuous miles on the feet. My favorite lake for example has some 3+ pound goldens in it and it's a 6 mile...

    Royal trout slam

    So I finally did it. I've completed IGFA's Royal Trout Slam with a Brook, Brown, Bull, Cutthroat, Golden, Lake, and Rainbow. I fished the Metolious yesterday and although he might've been one of the smallest Bulls anyone has taken a pic of there, he hit a streamer I made up hard and completed...

    Metolius bull trout

    Hydro, that'd be awesome. I live a little ways away but like I said, I just moved up here a couple months ago and would love to fish with some guys from the area. I've been a lone ranger since I moved up. And I really want to complete my royal trout slam!

    Need a fly fishing buddy!!!

    Hi! I just moved up to Oregon a little over a month ago to Sherwood. I moved up from Reno, NV. I spent most my time fly fishing Pyramid Lake for the big Lahontan Cutts. Would love to meet some new fly fishing buddies up here! I've been fishing solo since I moved up!

    Metolius bull trout

    Great info thanks! I have some trips planned through the first week of sept but was thinking of making a two day trip in mid sept down there. It's about two and half hours for me to get there. I keep hearing of bridge 99, how far in is that bridge? I have been tying up some big bunny leech...

    Metolius bull trout

    Has anybody fished the Metolius lately? I'm looking to head that way soon for my first Bull Trout and last fish of my royal trout slam. Any word on if the bulls have started to show up or when they usually start getting into the river pretty thick? I'm having some trouble finding some decent...

    Deschutes steelhead

    Fished this morning for a couple hours, thought I'd share my first steel. I got there a little late so I decided to just start throwing gear right away. Picked him up fairly quick in the second hole I fished. I wonder what hit him in the gill plate. Looking forward to getting back out there...

    Deschutes steelhead

    I've never fished the Deschutes but I was planning on going for the first time this week. Planning on fly fishing and throwing hardware. Any direction a newbie to the river might want to head? I'd love to meet up with someone too if they liked. I just moved up to the area from Reno and the...
