    Dexter lake with kids

    We fished just north of the parking area and each child caught one. There were a lot of parasites on the skin. Is that a hatchery issue or is it the lake?

    Dexter lake with kids

    Where is the best bank accessible fishing for stocked trout on dexter lake? I’ve got a nimble 10 yo so we don’t have to fish from the wheelchair access.

    Green Peter kokanee...how big?

    I called ODFW regarding Kokanee size and number in green peter a couple years ago. If I understand correctly, I was told that the population is self sustaining at a number higher than what is being caught. Accordingly they tend to increase in number until they eat themselves out of food after...

    What do you do with your caught fish on the jetty or beach?

    One reason to fillet surf perch and greenling is that you can inspect the flesh for seal worms. Just remove the ones you find and cook the ones you don’t.

    Surf setup for a newbie

    I run 50# braid. 3oz canon balls. And 6/0 hooks for lingcod. The ball sits on the bottom with a three foot lead to the main braid. I tie a loop in the braid to which there is also a two foot leader of 30 lb mono. Rock fishing on the bottom is a high snag risk. The purpose of the heavy line is...

    What do you do with your caught fish on the jetty or beach?

    I fillet my fish when I get home. I carry a 5 gallon bucket with soda bottles full of ice and bleed the fish as soon as I catch them unless: If I am fishing near a tide pool, I sometimes put them on a stringer and secure them in the pool. You want to be extra careful that the tide doesn’t come...

    Steamed trout

    Place a fresh trout on top of frozen vegetables and simmer gently with the lid on until the trout is cooked to satisfaction. I like butter and garlic salt on the vegetables. What do you suggest should go on the trout?

    Surf/shore/jetty fish to throw back

    I don’t keep all greenling. Some can be a lot smaller than the sabastes species I would rather keep. But, they count to the same limit of five. You sort of want to gauge how you are doing that day. Keep the best of what’s available and comply with the regs—but don’t run a live pot that’s not...

    Perch days

    Had some luck out of Depoe bay. The lings were aggressive but all under size. I retained a couple greenling though. Yummy.

    Perch days

    I use magicseaweed to check the surf and tide forecast. They show the surf height by hour as well as swell height, period and direction with wind speed and direction. My fishing spot is a few miles from Newport so I use Newport as the location, but they have these reports for pretty much...

    Largemouth bass fishing in Corvallis area?

    There are a lot of Large mouth, bluegill, and brown bullhead at cheedle lake in Lebanon. The weeds get overwhelming in summer though. EDIT: tons of bank access.

    Question about trout fishing

    Catching fish is easy. Catching fish within odfw guidelines is sporting. If all the limitations were off in terms of gear and method, we could easily trap a years worth of salmon in short order--but weir's the fun in that? Just check your trot line daily and you'll have plenty of catfish. Prefer...
