I will think very hard about whether or not I will buy another Oregon license. Living in the Portland area, my travel/gasoline costs for quality fishing are about equal. The time and distance traveled to get to Hagg is more than Lacamas and a little less than Silver Lake. The Columbia River...

Sweeet!!!

We went with Touche of FlyByNite Guide service in Rufus. We were running worm harnesses in shallow water (15-20'). The picture does not do it justice because it measured 28" and was estimate 7-8lbs. We ate all the little ones and let him take that one home. Everyone I take with me catches...

WOW!!! Up to 14 groupies already. Thank you BassMan! You have definitely been pushing this.

For Father's Day, I took my father-in-law on a guided walleye trip in the Columbia River. He had never seen or heard of walleye before.

Maybe I should have her cut a piece off her wedding dress, too! :shock:

Next time you go to McGrath's Fish House or Newport Bay Restaurant look at the catch-of-the-day board. They always show their "fresh" Tilapia being from Guayquill, Ecuador. DON'T EAT IT!!!!! That is their sewer. I was their last year and the waterfront stinks to high heaven. Thank God for...

:clap: I hear ya Bro.

Try Dick's Sporting Goods at Washington Square. I was pleasantly surprised with their tackle selection. And, yes, I know it's not in Woodburn.

That's how any game law is enforced! I know you've seen, as well as I have, game violators and poachers get away with just about everything. It's tipsters and direct witnessing by OSP that gets people caught. They only catch one in a thousand fishing violations.

Some species don't do well with catch and release. Most trout species are quick to die, even when released, whereas bass, walleye (unless taken from extreme depths), and most panfish show little harm after catch and release. Washington enforces a daily bag limit on trout, even when...

About 9 years ago, a lady at church gave me a yellow short-sleeved shirt because her husband would not wear it. The first couple years I used it as an informal sport shirt and then it became my favorite fishing shirt. The yellow was a good contrast color to the scenery and the fish for photos...

I fish without limits or worry over size restrictions or slot limits. My bass fishing is 100% CPR (Catch-Photograph-Release). I do this because bass are all wild fish. There are no hatcheries to baby them along. Each year they overcome lottery-type odds just to survive. By the time they are...

They are a proven standby. Nice distance when cast and trout love 'em!

Stopped by yesterday. Water levels are high and clear. It's about 15 feets from the top of the dam. Lots of little trout following lures. Bass populations are coming back since the attempted ODFW poisoning about 6 years ago. The bass that are there look like little footballs with fins, but...
