Imagine battling one of these behemoths!!! https://www.popsci.com/uploads/2024/04/24/salmon-illustration.jpg?auto=webp&optimize=high&width=1440...

You're welcome. Tom Hester, I believe, is the owner. He's a great guy and I enjoy supporting him as much as I can.

Good lookin' out @plumbertom! While I've never done it...I've always wanted to try the spots where Hwy. 126 crosses over the creeks that flow, into the south end of Fern Ridge Reservoir. That might be a place worth a try or two. @Fishgal good luck and let us know how you do! P.S. The Long Tom...

Just saw this posted by the Kokanee Kid. So it looks like Wickiup has rebounded.

Glad that you got it and not the bird! lol P.S. That's a picture worthy of inclusion in the reg book or the ODFW photo contest!

Right on buddy! Do you keep them in a cooler or something, while your at work?

I'd never even heard of those; until now.

@Fish_bot9000 I've been active on this site for a long time (14 years I think). But I've only seen maybe one or two posts from that area. So I'm not sure if you'll get any replies. Although I hope you do.

I grew up with Fenwicks, and eventually some Lamiglas too. Most peeps are unaware, but Fenwick had 2 product lines. The first is their standard solid E-glass "beer bottle brown" blanks. The second were known as "Supreme Glass", which is a hollow / lighter weight blank. And Lamiglas had a S-Glass...
