Later in the spring or summer, definitely. You can get them at the fish market in Eugene on Blair in March or April, but they'll be scrawny and covered in eggs. Wait until summer is picking up steam!

There are also a lot of ODFW guided classes and such which you can sign up for. It's a long drive to fort stevens or I'd have gone on one of those classes sometime. I know in Waldport for they have clamming classes out of the interpretive/infortmational center next to Subway almost every day...

I've seen a few guys who drove their trucks out onto the gravel bar at Delta Gravel under beltline recently, wished I had time to go get a hook wet but I'm in the middle of closing on selling my house and taking a full complement of college courses.. I wistfully think of going fishin most days -...

Sign up for their newsletter updates online, I get emailed the updates as soon as they get announced, I can check my email on my phone, and never have to call and ask. The DA announcements show up REALLY fast, even faster than the facebook posts I see from folks who are really, really into...

On the other hand I've got a buddy who manages a strip club and who fishes wherever he can stop and get a line in his water in his rickity little datsun sedan, and he pulls in a couple steelhead a day or he calls it a bad day. And yeah it can easily take 3 hours to get into PDX from Eugene, the...

I made jambalaya last night for the first time in decades, how funny.

They're native but aren't supposed to get much over like 12-13 inches iirc. The larger ones are very destructive to smolt populations.

I can't effectively fish much without a weighted spinner from the bank, if i want to get more than a couple/few feet below the surface. Can't bottom-bounce spinners without weight. The people using droppers seem to mainly have trolling rigs. So if you've got a boat, that's why. If you don't...

Sorry, are you racist? Get some ****ing class bro. What does it matter? Can only asians use chopsticks, or do only asians deign to eat fish cheeks? I'm sure it's really funny at the bar, but I don't appreciate that kinda **** when I just recommend a decent recipe.

/wankbag I recently found out that fly fishers make "egg" flies. They spend long periods carefully layering yarn in tiny bits and then trim it down until it's perfectly round round and pretend like it's a huge deal and I'm thinking "man, with an egg loop and $1.99 sewing scissors from bi mart...

What kind of rod and reel and line are you currently packing? It sounds as though you probably are just a few mepps and blue foxes away from being on the money, or learning to tie an egg loop and drift. :)

Sounds like you're making good progress, your previous post was "struck out"! :D

LOL damnit, these fish are my new unicorn. Dunno if I'm in the wrong place ro the wrong tide or wrong bait, but dangit I swear I am doing everything right and after an hour pitching the troughs from the sands I lose my cool, drink a 12 ozer, and then get bored in another 30-45 minutes. One day...

Fly fishermen, as a rule, can be humongous asses about the dumbest ****. My Aunt's husband got cock-blocked and shouted at on the Yachats Creek/river last year, by some old asshat who has apparently decided that fishing without flies on his home waters is unacceptable, and that old disk will...

You're p close to the willy, columbia, and sauvie island, and a few other hot spots. I'd recommend googling for the rivers near you which you're willing to get to (ifish will have decades of posts about any water body you can find). You can def get some bites in the bay by tillamook as well.
