    What was being stocked in the Molalla River off Freyer Pk Bridge?

    Seen A fish truck dumping trout or smolts in the Molalla, didn't get a chance to stop but just curious if anyone knows what was being planted? I assume the DFW is working on restoring our "Native" runs or something. I know lots of waterways get stocked without being public for conservation and...

    Butte Creek 6/21 (lots of photos)

    Nice pics! I've been trying to break free from work and hit that creek! I always fish the upper MO and Abiqua. Without seeing your line in the water my best "blind" tip is to make sure you rod is low and without slack! Slack in your fly line will kill your hook to sip ratio! I know this all to...

    First small fish looks like a Salmon Smolt, The second is a Rainbow and the third is a cutthroat trout. Beautiful fish all around!

    Trillium trophy trout time: accepting applications

    Water and temp was COLD all morning. A few risers in the early eve. too, so I don't think the water was too warm. I'm betting they didn't stock it. Even though I called their line all week and they confirmed Wednesday stocking. 10:00am to 1:00PM. Spoke with a person each time. All I can say is I...

    Trillium trophy trout time: accepting applications

    Anyone fish there yet? I was out today and nobody was doing good at all! The place was packed as usual. Tried everything from bait, spinners to fly gear and just a few light hits. Nobody was really catching anything but a couple small trout about one every hour or so. I thought the place was...

    Trillium trophy trout time: accepting applications

    Do you know if the fishing will be good the same day the lake is stocked? I will have one heck of a drive and would hate to get skunked or worse. Not have a spot to park or fish.

    Molalla trout fishing

    You talking Milk Creek? I love that creek! Back in the day I used to pull big Cutts. Back when you could keep them. Early spring with a nightcrawler seemed to be all they liked. I was a kid back then, used to take the logging road right to the creek. Before they blew the bridges.

    Molalla trout fishing

    Summertime the hills get crowded, mostly drinking teenagers and campers. This makes it hard to find a spot to pull of the road and park. There are a lot of Lifers err... campers. There are also methheads that live up there "Camping". Had a few midnight encounters when I was camping last year...

    Molalla trout fishing

    Yeah back in the early 1990's I think since 1998 the river has been C&R and restricted to Artificial Flies and Lures for trout.

    Silverton Reservoir Stocking

    I drove out there yesterday (Thursday) and the place was packed! I looked for a parking spot and just left. I knew all the good bank spots would be filled. Drove out to Trillium and caught three trophy trout and a few 12 inchers. Well worth the drive. Back on point, I'm pretty sure if you elbow...

    Silverton Reservoir Stocking

    Thanks guys! Growbug... When were you last out at the lake? I was there last week and it was dead fishing. Week before was great! Can't really afford the fuel to get skunked again :) I know it's supposed to be stocked this coming week but IKD when. I still can't get over how many fish are...

    Silverton Reservoir Stocking

    I have been told that the City of Silverton will stock the Silverton Reservoir as well as ODFW. Is this true?
