This message brought to you by "DEAD HOOK TACKLE." Seriously though, great job. Like others mentioned, you are out to a great start. Myself, I have been in a slump for a while. Good job on the chrome and stay positive. There may be times you want to walk away, but don't. Put in the time...

Joni, I usually put in at Buena Vista, and travel up to the mouth of the Santiam. We only fished to about noon each day, sometimes I would rather fish alone, no reasons to leave the water early. I caught Bass, Whitefish, and Pike Minnow. The only fish I couldn't hit were the Salmon...

I will be out there Fri, Sat, and Sun from about the butt crack of dawn till I limit. I target mostly Steelhead in the area, a Springer is a bonus. With the numbers lately, I might just have to target a Springer or two. If I have an open seat on any of these days, I will be sure to let people...

Raincatcher, Thanks for the welcome back. Life is hectic sometimes, I don't need to tell you and Mike, my best regards. We have been busy with our new business and the arrival of twin girls. That's right, Olivia has two baby sisters. You know Olivia still refers to little Sharkbait as her...

Joni, I meant no offense with the "dying a slow death" statement. It was meant to reflect the style of fishing and the fact that this fishery is never "red hot". Plunking is not for everybody. Some people have a hard time sitting in one spot for up to 10 hrs straight with nothing to show for...

No doubt. I can't ever remember anyone saying this fishery was red hot. To say you need patience here is an understatement. I heard there was a little luck at the Social Security Hole, drove by during the day, maybe 25 guys sitting there, waiting for their bell to ring, dying a slow death...

Just thought I would share the news with my fellow OFFers. I saw a nice, bright Springer caught today on the Willamette River in the Independence area today. The only problem was the intact adipose fin on it's back, so back in it went. They're here.... Indifisher

Mattdm22 - There are a lot of big carp in that slough area. Wait until the water level drops and that area becomes cut off from the river. You can stand on the bridge and watch around 50 huge carp swim leasurely around. I fished the Willamette both Sat and Sun morning for Steelhead from my...

Here's a Few More Here's a Few More We have a few more too.

Let's Go Let's Go Hey guys, Anytime you guys want to go, let's do it. I know I can get you guys into fish on that lake. Although, I will probably be spending more time on the coast for Chinook and crab. The set up I was using is pretty simple, a 2 oz bannana weight, flasher, wedding ring...

Platteflyfisher, So you guys found them after I left huh? Good, I was starting to worry because it seemed no one else was having any luck. I haven't heard how Fishfinger did. He was looking a little defeated, but optimistic. Now if I can land some Steel and Salmon, I would feel better. Jason

hmmm hmmm Hey Schooler, I will let you try trout cocktail

Look Fishy? Look Fishy? So does that water look fishable? I thought so too. I was able to limit everyday except on Sunday, missed the limit by one. Now I know some people have their doubts, (Autofisher), but I ate a lot of trout over those 4 days. I was so tired of trout, that I started...

Awesome weather Awesome weather The weather got much better as the weekend progressed. Truthfully, i considered leaving early because the weather sucked early on. Thursday night it poured, I forgot the rain cover for my tent, so I got a little wet (although not as wet as Bait N Switch)...

Good Times Good Times Well the 1st Annual Fish OFF has come to an end. I think I can speak for all who attended and say we all had a good time, even though me and my family had to leave the potluck a little early (those pesky required navigation lights aren't working on my boat). I arrived...
