Hello Jazz : Ive caught many SRCs in both rivers In The Past! But This Year has been most Challenging with Low Water, No Rain and All-Day Sun! tough Going! Lets hope for more Rain!

Last week I thot Id give Hagg lake a try with flies! Hooked a couple of nice fish about sundown at ramp A. Two trips later; Nothing! I was using a royal coachman wet #8. Several lites later I tried Ramp C, same time. And despite massive flying ant and Drake hatches; Nothing! Any suggestions for...

I think the ODFW website has some suggestions. Good Luck!

So sorry this happened to you Casey!😬 We've All had our Bad Days..At Least THINGS can be replaced! YOU Cannot!!! Glad you got out OK!!😇

Drako: try a small Royal Coachman wet, about #12 should do it. Use a small 4wt fly rod if you can. Youll have some fun!

Im glad you Cleaned that lake up! Well Done! Sadly the crowds are turning Hebo into a "recycling Center"! Try a beadhead nymph or wetfly and you can svoid the adfitional lead!

Warpig: try a bubble and flies next time. Your success rate will go up...unless you end up in the trees!!🫣

Hey Troutdude: Old Age I guess..My Bad! I thot I was on the Hebo Lake thread😙

Im surprised no one has mentioned using flies! That lake has Tremendous hatches🤔 Size 12 wets/dries are quite effective.

@Jahhn : Ive had luck flyfishing @ boat launch A...in the Late Fall! Standard wets and Drys.

Thanks So Much for your thoughtful post! I last fished it in 2003. It was wuite good with good BWO hatches. At that time there wrre No Improvements! No signs, No roads! My how things change! So glad you enjoyed your time there...

Seems like They used to dump em in some coastal lakes! Meares, Lorens and Towne lakes come to mind🤔 Probably depends on the fish available.

Hello Frank! That site is MyODFW.com. I found it under "Fishing". Vernonia lake is a great place to check out. 5$ paring fee. Paved access. Several docks! Steelhead available. Do check out that ODFW site! Davep

Hello Frank! IF you like to use flies, you Could just put a Bubble on your spin rig and attach a leadered fly! Its much easuer than Swishing a fly rod around! OFFW has a website with handicapped fishing locations! Hope this will help!

I knew one fellow who claimed to regularly catch searuns off Hobson Point In Tillamook Bay. But otherwise was quite secretive about it! And there are several fly clubs in our area!
