Are they biting pretty good on the umpqua this time of year? I'd like to take my kayak out and try for some. Also any good launch spots for a kayak west of the fork?

thanks,
Vince

they really don't start biting (from what i understand) until May/June and the best is in July,but i have also heard of the smallies on the bite in April. so i would say get out and give it a try! the worst that can happen you spent a day on the river fishing :)

Yea the big females bite early but I wasn't sure about this early. Water probably is still a bit too cold, although its rising quickly. Ill have to head down there this week and see!

FYI- water temp near the top of tide, just below Scottsburg, was 49F on Friday...
