Thank you for the info I'll definitely look into the nestucca

Thank you for the info I look forward to getting out there soon

i know it's gonna be coming up quick and I'm trying to get ready for this coming fall and had a few questions. first of all I'm located in Salem and I'm thinking about hitting the salmon river. I know it can be a pretty pressured river are there any other costal rivers I should look into for...

One thing that came to mind today is that I would like to fish barbless although it may not be required just for the sake of the fish I don't mind losing a fish here and there if it means less harm to natural fish would you guys advise against this?

I was thinking somewhere near Lincoln city just for the sheer fact that I know where it is and it only seems to be 45min from my house but I will definantly keep that in mind

Ok so I finally have a day off off work Thursday and I think I will head twards the coast. I've been reading a ton but have a few questions for you guys. Any suggestions on line? I was thinking about 15-20# braid and a fluorocarbon leader. Is that going to be enough strength wise? Also why do I...

Already on my nightstand!

Great sounds like I need to get started soon!

Also new to Oregon but came from down south if you're ever fishing near the Salem area let me know I bring beer

Sweet thank you all for the direction I know this is going to be awesome! I'm used to catching small rainbows and browns (my pb being 5.5lbs) so the chance of big salmon is more than enough motivation to get out there! Hoping to befriend you guys and steal more of your veteran knowledge haha

I appreciate all the advice so far please keep it coming

Any key words, rivers, or areas I should be looking into for the coast? I am a research nut when it comes to this stuff but I seem to be missing something.

Thank you for the input I am living in Salem right off of mission I am willing to travel and even hiking in as I'm used to having to (New Mexico doesn't have much water) I have family in sandy but would it be better to head that way maybe the clackamas or towards the coast? Also keep in mind I...

I'm too young, dumb and cheap to hire a guide also that almost feels like cheating to me. I just need a general direction to head in but if some money frees up I may go this route.

Just moved to Salem from New Mexico did a lot of fishing down there (trout, bass, catfish) but now that I'm in the pnw I have got to try my hand a salmon/steelhead fishing! Where do I start? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
