    The Muscatatuck River, for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and maybe channel catfish, is a most grand place to take the young man! … in my humble opinion.

    McIver State Park

    McIver State Park

    Well, now I'm going to have to try this place out. Your recommendation excites me. I've enjoyed Bonnie Lure twice since mid October, but this looks more promising. I moved to Oregon in 2007; in order to embrace my new home and explore my inner Oregonian, I set a goal to catch a steelhead...

    Squirrel hunting

    I used to hunt them when I was back home in Indiana. Learned to stay away from the big fox squirrels; they can be as tough as a bike tire.

    My son and I fish off Cedar Island today.

    Today, we went back to Cedar Island Park on the Willamette and took my oldest with us this time. We fished from 3:00 to 6:00. Nothing, except a 12 inch small mouth bass caught by my oldest around 5:05. I've never used spinners before this summer, always live bait. Kind of cool to catch something...
