The causeway to Lowell on Dexter Reservoir also has good paved access and this time of year should give you a good opportunity for a trout. I think it was designed for easy access, with a nice paved fishing sidewalk, couple benches and both a ramp and stairs down from the parking lot. Also has...

they are at least down tp scottsburg. I haven't fished farther downriver for them so don't know more than that

not bass, but the lakes they stock with trout often produce through the winter. Especially true for the lakes that get a fall stocking in addition to the loads that get dumped in the spring. I know I've got some December trout out of foster in the past. Hagg lake is another year round...

don't know about carp, but it has the tui chub that are a nuisance in many lakes, so good eagle fodder. I fed four to the birds

I was just there, but used a kayak so didn't use the ramps. I did eyeball them from the water. I didn't see anyone using the hot springs boating site ramp except for some tubes and kayaks. The one in the cinder hill campground looked usable, but probably shallow. saw a drift boat and smaller...

I'd use mono for a bit mainly because it's cheaper. If/when you goober it up it'll be less painful on the wallet to replace. I think you'll find an equal number of opinions on both sides. Plenty of successful users of both. I think long term you may find braid a bit more versatile because you...

Most streams are closed till 22May, I think, but there are some exceptions. You go into the rules for the region then look for the specific rules for each water body. It will tell you if there are different seasons or rules on gear. If you don't see a specific water body then the region rules...

I've been getting smallmouth and a couple crappie in Lookout Point too. I think the warm water fish will be okay despite these drawdowns (if this doesn't continue to happen every year). Kokanee may be another story. I think they are more susceptible to following the flow through the dam which...

I think when you read “catfish” in Oregon you can translate that to mean bullheads. They do seem to be listed in a lot of waters statewide.

lot of people like the area near the dam labeled elks recreation area. always someone there. Also depending on the water level those creek arms may not be as deep/long as they appear on this map. Good news is low water should make for easy flycasting. No experience trying fly fishing there...

go to th Kokaneepower website, they have a section called weather/lake levels. They have lake elevations for several Kokanee reservoirs with the usable water levels for each ramp indicated. I don't where they get it, but its good

just have to watch the conditions for good days on the ocean. Little bit of an art to reading all the factors. I was fishing Winchester Bay in Jan/Feb this year. This weekend is looking doable and I'm planning to fish out of Depot or Fogarty Saturday and PC Sunday. If you have the equipment...

Not sure where you're at, I'm guessing Portland area because you're starting at Haag. I'm in Eugene so my regular spots may be out of your trip range. If I was in Portland, I'd look at some of the Willamette river access. Some good fishing in there and is, as long as you'er not in the height...

I don't have a stand on my wilderness cart. I eyeballed the Navarre kickstand, but didn't pull the trigger due to the price. I do have have some of there other accessories, but seemed awl steep for a piece of plastic. Probably could create something if I tried that would work, but not be as...

Same as Bass. I've gone in more of the off season and I just back my SUV down and offload the kayak, put my stuff together and tie it off to a dock then park. Just be considerate of the boaters by not being down there an excessive amount of time. I have two techniques for getting my 106 onto a...
