plus, don't talk smack if you can't spell the word correctly.

Re-Curing Eggs Re-Curing Eggs I bought a few jars of eggs from a local guy and as I pull them out they still have quite a bit of liquid. Can I cure them again?

Saw a few caught at Oxbow on Saturday.

Agree on your strategy. Just haven't found the right combo yet. Have watched a few of your videos. Some good stuff.

I just started buying the R & B's so don't have a ton of history on them. Been getting the standard Blue Fox's and can't wait to try these. However, I just ordered the Summer Steelhead packet to check out the colors. Just got on line to check the TCO's. Look very interesting. Looks like...

Just got my new packet of black combo spinners from R & B so should be good to go. Appreciate all your help.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. I wasn't expecting to hit a nook but did want to try for some summer steelies. I'll check out the regs but looking to stick with spinners or maybe some jigs/yarn.

Heading up to Olallie campground on the upper McKenzie next weekend. Will take spoons with me. Any tips on good areas to toss one in? Will be bank fishing. Anything else I should try? Are they that far up? Thanks

where did you launch?

You can use some small spoons but shad darts are the way to go. Make sure you take chatreuse and some pink. Can also stick on colored grubs. Use 3 way with weight and 36" leader.

Yes, fished from a boat at Meldrum. Didn't put in until 9:45 and fished for three hours and got our nine. With Shad it's just hitting them when the schools pass by. So, you can get 2-3 in ten minutes and sit for a half hour.

Fished Willamette right across Meldrum and got nine Shad. No one else caught anything while we were there. Used chartreuse jig with same color grub.

I bought some quarts from Nate's. Local in Milwaukie. If you need a number, let me know.

That is a great link on the map. I fish a lot from mileposts 12-18 but still discovering new holes. Just depends on finding the water where you want to fish. If it's a weekday, no problem. If it's a weekend, you'll have lots of company so look for the parked rigs.

I've spent some time with a guide talking about this. He told me the Sandy is the best bet. Over the last number of years, the breeding stock has change to bring the hatchery fish up later so March and April now are the two key months for the upper part of the Sandy.
