Thanks for the rely. hopefully we can check it out this weekend!

I've got a friend that wants me to take him to Newport for jetty fishing. I have only ever been out to the north jetty in Garibaldi. We're students at OSU, so Newport is significantly closer than Garibaldi. Where do people jetty fish in Newport? Also, where do people pump sand shrimp at? We...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I kind of figured I would lose some traps so I only bought a couple so it wont be a big financial loss. I will have to think about the wad of line thing.

I am going out to the jetty in a few days and decided that I was tired of using my shellfish license for just sand shrimp, so I decided I will try my hand at crabbing. I bought a couple traps that attach to poles (1 closing and 2 snare). I have the regulations book so I know about that. I am...

I heard about this river recently. It sounds like an ideal spot to me. I would love to go somewhere where a little more secluded with a possible hike in. Does anybody have any information on this place? I was thinking of hitting up the Salmonberry rather than the Wilson sometime next week. I...

That would be awesome to see one... from a distance

OH NO!:yikes: That sounds great guys... please scout it out for me. On a more serious note, that is actually something I was wondering about. What is the bear population like out there? I'm not worried about it, just curious.

I was hoping to hit the Wilson this weekend but had a question due to the recent weather. When I looked earlier this week the river was at about 5'. Now, after the constant rain, it is at 6.64'. Rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week with current predictions having it lower back to...

Let me start off by saying, I know that I ask a lot of questions, but I really appreciate the help you guys are offering. I am a new fly fisherman and have decided that I want to try my hand at catching a steelhead this winter. I went to the local fly shop and figured out that I can get an Echo...

I tried that this morning, and nothing. I threw some spinners and a rooster tail, put a worm under a bobber, fished off the bottom, and used some powerbait, but did not catch a thing. There were about five other guys fishing the dam who didn't get a bite either. I got tired of seeing the trout...

I would love to catch a smallmouth on the fly, but that is a little further than I am willing to travel for bass. Thanks for the reply though.

Sorry, I forgot to reply when I saw the notification a while ago. Thanks for your suggestion. Is there any particular river you would suggest? Not looking for your favorite spot, just the names of a few would be nice. Also, what timeframe do I have for catching these? I've got to save up a...

I believe so, but I might be wrong. It might have been the last week of September. Where are you guys catching fish, if you son't mind my asking? Every time I go it seems as if any of the spots that aren't at a boat ramp are dried up. I remember going last year to an area down a trail with a...

What am I doing wrong? I have been to Hagg numerous times now and not caught a thing. I am stuck bank fishing and have tried everything: spinners, jigs, rooster tails, hard baits, worms on a bobber, worms off the bottom, and the almighty chartreuse Powerbait. I am beginning to think that the...

I have had a fly rod for years and recently got it all set up again. I am looking for a good place to go as a beginner. Anything close to Sherwood would be great.
