Beautiful fish! Such a shame you didn't dispatch it in a more honorable manner. Sorry man, I'm not cool with your style. :confused: -C

I have seen a lot of fish cought in Portland this last week. They are definitly out there. I'll be under the Sellwood bridge tomorrow morning trying to get my first from my Canoe. -C

I saw one caught there last sunday.

I was there last Monday, and saw two natives caught near Dodge. The water levels look really high right now though. USGS Real-Time Water Data for USGS 14142500 SANDY RIVER BLW BULL RUN RIVER, NR BULL RUN, OR

Over the last two years, I've gotten pretty good at casting my level wind setup, and very rarely get backlash anymore. Unfortunately this does not translate into catching fish. I have still never caught a steelhead. :(

I feel really bad for the poor guy. It's like he showed up at the bar looking for a date just as they were closing.

Well this is a little frustrating. I have never caught a steelhead ever, but I can catch arare coho! Grrrrr.

Today I decided to try to catch a steelhead down at OFF hole, and thought I didn't catch a steely I did catch what I think was a very old and tired Coho. Is this possible? He was very red, and did put up a fight. I was really surprised to see him. He was a native, but I wouldn't have kept him...

I remember when your father died, and it sounds like you had many good times with him. I have never been successful with catching a steelhead yet, and would love the opportunity to have a little guidence on this, I'd be greatful. -Chris

Don't look now, but here comes the rain! There will be fish everywhere on Tuesday! -c

I have never used bait in my life, and I do get plenty of trout. Last week I was up at Olallie and for a couple of hours I was getting a fish on an average of every other cast. I didn't bother keeping them, because I was looking for the big ones. I didn't get one this time, but it does happen...

There are a few lakes around Hood, but if you go just a little farther south, Ollalie has a lot more to offer. I think that the Olallie Wilderness probably one the best places in the state if you aren't dependant on a motorboat for your thrills (they aren't allowed up there, and that is just...

I was at Diamond Lake for the last few days and was wondering the same thing. I fish from a canoe, and the wind definitely decreases the 'fun factor.' -C

Just to update. I won't be up at Timothy the weekend after all. I left to do some camping a few days ago, and ended up chasing after good weather all the way down to Diamond Lake, where the weather wasn't raining, but it was really windy. After spending a few days down there I got word that the...

The best fishing is from a boat, or in my case a canoe, because either the banks are really steep, or really shallow. If you have waders, you should go up to the area on the NE end, where the Cooper and Crater Creek inlets are. The fishing should be pretty good there. I will be up there this...
