Finding bundles of line from backlashes left on the bank. People who take the "no limit" on certain warm water fish literally. Other trash left in public places. And one thing that chaps my buns, and good, asking for some advice and getting the "you didn't know how to _____ already?" response. I...

Big blessings for you. My fiancee wants to go do this. She will learn a lot. Thanks for this.

Always best to get all of the facts to law enforcement as quickly as possible, and to make sure that you DO NOT shoot*, or even threaten, the jerk who stole your stuff. no question that $400 in gear is worth some rage when it is stolen, but it isn't worth jail time, or worse - getting sued for...

Boy, if I had a fish picture for every time I was certain I could get one, my hard drive would be full. I learned to talk a lot less over the years! Looks like great fun, though. :clap:

Nice going! Looks like a good time.

Got my first trout in Oregon, but My fiancee Andrea got her first before me! Had fun out at Bethany pond. Unfortunately, the water temps are still to low for the crawfish to be moving around. We put two traps out in Rock Creek and got skunked. Still, great weekend and got some stocked fish for...

Just moved here from 3,000 miles away, so still saving up for the replacement car. Gonna take public transit down to Bethany Pond to see if I can learn how to catch trout and maybe try to have some fun with a big ole carp, and going to get my fiancee out for her first official fishing trip since...

Got me pumped up for tomorrow with that story! Nice work. :dance:

Thanks to both of you. As luck would have it, my fiancee's new office is down the street from a rod shop called Ollie Damon's. She found them there for me and said she got a good deal on them. It's on Grand St. in PDX, in case anyone else is interested. Now I just hope we can both round up a...

Does anyone know of a local store that carries crawfish traps in PDX? I'm hoping to get one before the weekend to give it a try on one of those hot, sunny days in shallow water.

Nice! Good luck. :clap:

That. Map. Is. Amazing. Much appreciated! :clap:

Hello Finneus. I'm new to Oregon, but I can say that in Florida, where I've caught plenty of bluegill, they were never too sensitive to pretty much any kind of water (acidic, alkaline, polluted). Of course, Florida never had 40 degree water temps either. But I do know that finding a dead 1 or 5...

Sherman's right. My best memories as a kid involved a cane pole and crappie.
