I did pretty good there this last Saturday. Caught two native coho in probably two hours. Everyone was hooking into them. No keepers, but I will take that any day.

Welcome! I'm actually in the same boat, so to speak. Just started fishing for salmon/steelhead this year, including buying all the gear. I did a lot of research/asked a bunch of people about size of rod, type of reel, what lb test, etc. The setup I went with is a 9'-6" Lamiglas X-11, with a...

I've been fishing the Clackamas river the past couple weeks, and it definitely picked up last week. The rain expected today and tomorrow will help the cause even more. Bouncing corkies, from what I've seen, has been the most successful.

I definitely see the potential in the river. It would probably be my river/bay of choice, but it is a little out of my driving range.

Thanks, I really appreciate the info.

There are hatchery coho on the Clackamas?

Troutmasta, where's a good spot to bank fish on the Sandy? PM me if you'd like.

Well, I managed to hook into 1 fish briefly, but wasn't able to land em. There was a handful of people there were hooking into fish. Primarily the people in boats who were trolling.

Siuslaw it is, next to the Humane Society. I will let you all know how it goes.

Thank you for all of the help. Are there any specific spots out side of Florence (near the Siuslaw) where people have had success from the bank? I heard near the Humane society they've been picking some up? True? False?

I would be targeting salmon. I did try the Sandy awhile back. It was a little late in the summer run, but I didn't have any luck for steelhead.

Hey everyone, I'm a new member and also new to the Portland area. I've had some trouble hooking into fish, and could use any advice people are willing to hand out. I was over on the Coos River last weekend (9/13/2014) and hooked into/landed 1, but I was the only one (while I was there) to...
