So I was out bottom fishing today and when we started Lingcod fishing after getting our limit of Rockfish I immediately hooked into an extremely large fish of some sort. I thought I had the bottom at first until it started taking line slowly and consistently. On multiple occasions I was able to...

Ik it’s not the area you’re looking for but the Shell in Sherwood and the Texaco in Newberg both have it if you ever find yourself needing it around there. Also I’m pretty sure there’s a place in Scappoose. As least there was.

I haven’t fished it before but I know that there’s a fair number of fish in the creek both above and below the falls, they can be pretty spooky though. Not sure about the rules as far as staying on the trails or anything and I doubt any of the park rangers would care enough to try and ticket you...

This bad boy cost me 8 hrs of trolling around on the Columbia yesterday and a broken transducer but my persistence paid off. It was such a nice day it wasn’t too difficult to stay out on the water.

I went out for the morning and landed this angry buck today. 1/3 for the morning. I did hook my first ever fish on a spoon so that was super cool even if I lost him.

Thanks for the info. I actually totally forgot about FishUSA. I’ve toyed around with those SSTs a bit and honestly wasn’t super impressed.

In the market for a new steelhead float rod, had one bite the dust this year and the prices of new stuff about gave me an aneurysm. Looking for a solid rod (maybe even a rod/reel combo) in the 9'6"-10', 6-12lbish range. Preferably a fast action. Partial to fenwick, TFO, Lamiglass, those buzz...

The girlfriend and I went on a little hike up to Soapstone lake on the coast last week during the sunshine and it was absolutley amazing. I was hesitant to post anything at first but in the time we were there we saw 3 other groups of hikers so I figured the cat's already out of the bag. It's a...

Got this big ol' tough guy yesterday on the spinner. He absolutely tore me a new one.

Here’s a nice broodstock fish I got during the snow event a couple days ago. It was a nightmare getting home with all of the closed roads and accidents but fishing in the snow is my favorite weather so it’s always worth it.

Yep #3s been good with the low water lately.

My latest fish from the day before yesterday. From everyone I talked to, this was one of FOUR that I heard of being caught that day on the whole river. Definitely looking forward to the rain this weekend. My freezer is full so it was her lucky day and she got to go back. I found a new to me rod...

Well I guess its that time of year again... Heres a couple fish from my only outing so far this year a week or so ago. We went 3/5 between me and my buddy.

Fished a little bit from a kayak around Farmington yesterday and got a few on a red crankbait. The Tualatin is very hit or miss. This time of year seems to be best to fish in morning or evenings.

Anyone have a report on how the crabbings been in Tillamook bay? Going camping at barview next weekend and trying to decide if it’s going to be worth it to take the boat.
