@Socaaron yeah it was cool to find out that some of the lakes on this thread are the same ones that get those limited numbers of brookies and cutthroats I wonder if it has to do with their ability to handle warmer (shallower) water because some of those "lakes" are more like glorified puddles...

Awesome that helps a lot. I guess part of the confusion is that I was never sure if "wild" referred specifically to native fish from non-hatchery lines or more broadly to naturally reproducing populations regardless of line or origin. Seems like I've seen people use it both ways. I'm curious...

Yeah I started this thing to try to clear it up but it seems like so far it is just proving that I'm not alone in the confusion. If you can shed some light here then please do it when you have a minute. So far the contending possible modes of ID are, adipose fin clipping, stocking history of...

Brookies and cutthroats were both stocked last year according to the odfw hatchery reports. Somebody on another thread hooked me up with a link to that report because I was having trouble figuring out if some of the hike in lakes I was fishing were stocked recently and if they were with what...

I don't think that list includes many of the lakes getting stocked by helicopter in the Mt hood area at least. I found a high lakes stocking list on the odfw site but it only seems to cover the Bend/Sisters area lakes. I know lakes like Hideaway do get stocked periodically but i can't track down...

That's cool I didn't know that stocked trout were even sometimes clipped. Makes sense. The only place the whole wild vs. stocked thing has come up for me is in the high lakes where I'm not sure if the lake is getting stocked or maybe just used to be stocked.

Hi Everybody, I thought I'd throw this out there to see if somebody can help me clear up something I've been confused about for awhile. How do I know if I caught a wild trout? I've heard that you can tell by the color of the meat but I also heard that stocked fish who survive awhile can have the...

@socaaron Was that really a question or just a round about way of bragging? :) I've fished a lot of the spots on this thread over the past couple of years (thanks eggs!) and it seems like any lake that gets stocked up in those alpine areas has a chance of producing bows, cuts or brookies or even...

Cool I figured it would get sorted out... I'll get the hang of this eventually. :) I hadn't heard anything about Beverly being dangerous. What's the issue? The trout info definitely doesn't hurt but it is the one kind of fishing I do most, and I'm kinda trying to branch out a little to learn...

crap! Just realized this I put this in the wrong place. Meant to put under Saltwater... and I can't figure out how to move/delete it... doh!

Hi Everybody, I'm gonna be out at Beverly Beach for a few days at the end of March and I'm trying to research some places to fish. I am interested in just about anything that can be had from shore (can't afford a charter this time). I got some good tips on a couple of ling spots around Depoe Bay...

Dang Spydey! Awesome resource you created there. Thanks!

The combo of epic scenery and good fishing make for some fun times out there for sure! The one drawback is the crowds... but I was there on a holiday weeekend so I'm hoping it isn't always so busy. Glad to hear you had a good time out there too. Special place!

Fair enough... no rush. As long as people are clear with me about how they want me to handle the info they pass to me then I'm good. Differnt folks have different expectations and it can be hard to tell sometimes how "secret" the secret you've been told is but like I said as long as I know that...

Hi TT. Nice post and good lookin out on that fire. I'm new to the forum and would like to introduce myself to you so that maybe one day you might give me a lil info on this sweet lookin spot! :) That pic of the sunrise is AMAZING and I'm always on the hunt for some nice hike in fishing...
