Nice Pics!😁

Hello Reilly! I used to fish that water “back in the Day”! Given our lack of rain, Id wait til Fall! If you must tho, Id recommend trying some Wet Royal Coachman flies. Check those barbs. Goid luck! Dave

Hello Reilly. Well, youre certainly covering the Bases! If I lived there, Id give some effort on the Santiams! Back in the Day they were quite the Steelie streams! You might also consider Fall City…

Thanks Troutdude! Why it stayed Empty for so long I can only guess. Thats Very Good News! If Deli Quality is UP, theyll do Well! A Must Check joint!

Hello Paciverde I have always found a call to your local ODFW most efficacious!! They will have great info for you! Davpot

Hello Newbies to Oregon! I recently had a wonderful experience fishing with my nephew at Canby Pond. For those 17 and under! Its set in a pleasant park😁 Just off 99E in Canby. It saved my butt after being iced out of Mirror lake up on Mt Hood. Check the stocking schedule to be sure. Pretty...

I have to agree with Oldshifty. I can't imagine how a Healthy Brown population could go “south” there. A note for Uintasngler: Theres an extensive rebuilt dock system at several points. And a Great cement launching dock for watercraft. Lots if wildlife besides fish!😁

Hello Bob! I see you go by Uintaangler! Sounds like Utah was your previous haunt? Bob, lm near your age and hear you on declining mobility! I used to fish the Clack a lot😉 Its a beautiful river for sure! For starter, Id suggest trying Harriet lake. Large Browns there and Cutts and Rainbows...

DM! I bet theres a fly club in your area (Hood River or Troutdale area) Thatmight make more sense for you! Good Luck and Be Safe!

Hello Fishable: It really depends on WHERE YOURE AT! Portland area was Developed and Channelized long ago. You just gave to go further now: say 50-100miles for decent trout fishing!! Get a recent copy of “Fishing in Oregon”! That and the Regs should put you right! Good luck to You! Davpot

Nice Find! And I know that cheese shop! Affordable Ice cream cones! Must be a Time-Warp!!🥰

Yes Ahaps. I used to use a small bubble and flies (wets, dries, nymphs) about 4ft 3# leader. Flies: adams, royal coachman, caddis nymphs/dries. I wiuld expect some visual activity this time of year. The RC is Hard To Beat generally😇 Good Luck! Please report👍 Davpot

Good for you both Ahaps! You were lucky if you missed the crowds. But I assure you there are lots of fish there. Thanks for the apple report! They are something else! As I get older, HR seems Much further away!😣 Lawrence lake is worth a try if you have time. Good Luck to you both😉

Well Ahap, Thats what happens when you Turn Your Back! There might be something in Sandy or Gresham. I used to have Very Good luck at Mirror lake. I hiked up there 4 tears ago and found evidence of many fish! Lots of brookies and some nice cutts. 45 min hike up, and 30 min hike down. You may...

Hi BobMT! I just got through reading a Water Rights thread on OPB.org page: WOW! Water use and accessibility will Continue to be an issue across this country! If you see rivers fall and lakes recede over time, there are Multiple reasons. So, as you observe these changes, the question is how and...
