Here's a pic of my Malheur 6x7 bull killed last Saturday.

I talked to a state trooper about this subject when I wanted to take my daughters fishing earlier this year. What he stated is also confirmed by the regs on pages 5 and 6. Youths under 14 are not required to have a license unless they are fishing for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or halibut. Then...

H20, we were using a spinner blade on a clevis above a couple beads or corkies. Tandem single hooks with a rearward facing scented cured prawn. these were trolled using a jumbo diver on a dropper.

GDB, that's a great offer but I am not sure if I will have time to go again for springers before the run peeters out. I work 12 hr nightshifts wed-sat and thur-sat and have family stuff planned next week. But I'll be happy to help with with whatever advice I can. I am just getting back into the...

I just think you get better good solid hookups with tandem single hooks. I also use a third hook while trolling herring. I believe there is a better chance of a hookup using two or three hooks at different spots on the bait rather than three hooks at the same location. But it may just be...

We did well yesterday(5 keepers) using spinner and prawn behind divers. I would use a spinner blade(I like a chartreuse stripe) above some beads or corkies. Then instead of a treble hook I'd use two single hooks rigged tandem. Place the top hook in the tail and the bottom hook under the head...

Went out yesterday below Oregon City. We caught5 and lost a couple aall on spinner and prawn. Nice day on the river with only a small patch of rain.

There is no limit on shad. They are pretty boney, so if you don't want to mess with the bones just can them. And yes they are really good eating. Best method I have found for fishing for them is a jig with a single large splitshot. Small yellow or chatreuse jigs or a jighead with a small plastic...

They were all hooked a little deep using power eggs. One was a nice 14" holdover.

Went out to Hagg this morning, got my limit in 45 min and was home by 8:30 eating fresh trout for breakfast.

I haven't cast herring in a river but I use to have really good luck casting herring from the bank up in Washington at Point-no-Point. I found that cut-plugs don't last very long, and mainly used whole red-label size. I wdidn't use any weight and just counted down, then retrieved it very slowly...

Great job. I went out to the Mult channel this morning with my dad and uncle. We went 5 for 8 but three were high-fins and had to go back. I'll try to post a pic in a little bit. here it is.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It is definitely nice to be back. We landed 3 fish on Wednesday, 2 keepers. My dad and uncle caught 3 more yesterday. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it back out there until next Monday. Kenny

Moved back here late last year after being stationed in Japan for most of the last 20 years. Went out with my dad and uncle and caught a nice 18 lbser in the willy slough.

New to the forum but I grew up fishing Dairy creek every opening day. Can be some fantastic cutthroat fishing. Definitely rooster tails as mentioned above(dark brown was my personal favorite). Bigger cuts up to 18" come up the creek around the first week of May and seem to have a fondness for...
