I had a Jon boat about 15 years ago for a couple of years. The flat bottom made it relatively stable when moving around within it but it got blown around a lot in the wind. I only took it on flat water (lower Willamette, Tualatin and Hagg Lake). Not much freeboard. I definitely wouldn't take it...

That sucks. I'm glad you had a good time on the water before coming back to your truck.

Launched out of Cedar Oak this morning around 8:45. Fished towards LO for 2 hours. Caught 3 decent smallmouth and 2 dinks. Ned rigged tube and wacky rigged senko, both in green pumpkin/red flake. Parking lot had half a dozen trailers. Ramp was starting to get busy when I pulled out around 10:45...

Focused or not, those are nice fish. Thanks for the report.

I agree. The bites were very subtle, but at least the algae/moss isn't as bad as it was earlier.

I was able to get out on the Willamette for an hour and a half this morning for a little bass fishing. Launched at Willamette Park - Portland around 9:00. Fished from Sellwood to Lake O. No luck with a paddle tail swim bait or a senko. Caught three between 1-1.5 lb on a Ned rigged TRD tube. Not...

That's how I usually rig them also with a light wire hook. I'm hoping to get out on the Willamette on Wednesday and I'm going a Texas rigged Senko with a nail weight in the opposite end. I saw an Ike YouTube about this referring to it as the Tiny Child Rig.

Nice fish. Are you fishing your Senkos wacky or Texas rigged?

Thanks for the report!

I’ve had good success there with pumpkin or watermelon Yum Dingers with chartreuse tips, wacky or Texas rigged.

I took a day long class through a fly shop/guide that was "on-water" that went through entomology, fly selection, casting, mending, etc. I found out that casting is only a part of fly fishing. I'm thinking of going back for a refresher. If you can afford it, I'd really recommend taking lessons...

Unlike some forums that I have been on, I have found members of this forum to be supportive and respectful and I greatly appreciate how this community functions. This seems like a solution in search of a problem?

Those are some really nice fish! Thanks for the report.

That is a realistic looking and sized swimbait. I don't see catching many dinks with that. Thanks for the report.

Very nice setups for loading and storage.
