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

Hello and welcome BobMT! Yes, I imagine you have found general availability of good trout fishing a shocker! Theres Only about 3 million folks in the area! So fishing locations and timing are All important! Suggestions: 1. Have you thot about hike-in lakes? 2. The Wilamette river hosts some...

Well, Ahaps, your in luck, I think..if not mistaken, theres a Fly shop in Welches. Been there many years. A good source for advice and gear. Oddly enuf, its calked The Fly Shop if memory serves! And it sounds like you have rare time to Explore and do some Homework! Good Luck!
