Some baits are better than others on a given day, in a given place. Some scents are also better than others. I have had days of catching 20 fish on sand shrimp, while unnamed Mr. Ed catches ZERO ON SMELT, BECAUSE HE THINKS ALL BAITS ARE EQUAL. Be prepared with multiple baits. Sand shrimp has...

Pay taxes (April15), then fish for Springers on the Umpqua. Couple of April fish.

I'll have to review that situation. Stay tuned.

Sorry I don't get around much. Just returned from 4 weeks in the woods of Eastern Oregon. The weather was hot and the woods were dry. Our party of 5 only got one elk. I managed to get a buck, but 90 degrees daily made for a lean hunt. Had fun nonetheless.

Going again Thursday. Will try really hard to gain your disdain. But I will always like you. BTW, Tobe's finger looks almost like new. Modern medicine is miraculous.

I didn't catch it. My buddy's fish. Do you like me again?:pray:

: I can't believe Jim hasn't had something to say about this!:naughty:

Forget the small guys. 36 pounder today! Love the Umpqua!

Yesterday's catch.

Finally got the picture. Going again tomorrow, and hopefully will post another picture.

Springer Qwest Springer Qwest I'll be singing ( or my line will) in the rain tomorrow, somewhere on the Umpqua. Water level is down to 9'. Hope it doesn't rain too much tonight.:pray:

I finally got out for some fun. Umpqua springers, if not the best salmon in the world, are certainly in the top five. This was yesterday. 31 pounds on a digital scale. (de-liar)
