    Motor traveling position/transom saver

    Not always possible to travel with it down. The trailer I have for my Arima is to low! I just use lumber to put between the bracket and the motor. Be sure to snug up your trolling motors. They will fall off, if you don't watch--don't ask how I know!

    Camping at Timothy Lake

    I have not been to Timmy for quite a spell. We started out dry camping. on the point by the dam. It's a camp ground now. Med Pt is really nice. But do not attempt to cross the lake after Noon. Windy! The fishing around the Pt is good! Troll a dark fly 25 to 30 pulls or a gold super duper! Watch...

    Borrowed motor smokes

    Be carefull running those motors in barrells. When the exhaust mixes with the water, in the barrell, it becomes satuarated and looses it's effect. Idle is ok but rapping it up is not recommened. It's natual for a motor that has been sitting to smake, a bit. Add a little Sea Foam.

    Open seat, John Day steel trip

    Last weekends reports were fair to good, from what I hear. This storm is going to change it a bit. Today, would have been a good day to hit it. 40 deg and wind at 7 currently. Sorry I can't go.:(

    John Day

    Trolling by the dam Trolling by the dam I always start there, unless the wind is up(!). I have fished that area for years. I like the mag warts, in pink, orange and red. Start at the dead line, can't read it anymore-but it's there. Usual 20 to 26 pulls and trolling slow enough to make the...
