    Boggs Tacklemaker closing shop?

    Irishrover, I thought they were the same too, it might be worth it to just order the extra parts and see if they fit. Thanks for the head up. PacRat

    Boggs Tacklemaker closing shop?

    After another unsuccessful troll for coho on Friday morning, (we all can't be as skilled as Fishydog:clap:) I decided to hit BC Angling and stock up on supplies for the Fall Chinook season. Since I'm a new "twister" (not to be confused w/ tweaker, but maybe just as addicting), I wanted to pick...

    Drift boat plans....

    Paul Butler Drifter Paul Butler Drifter There was an article in Outdoor Life by Paul Butler. I could copy the article and email it if you wish. That Clark Fork Drifter looks to be a nice light boat. It is one of the plans I am considering. The Mini Mac looks to be a nice design on a small...

    Wilson River Steelhead Fishing

    About 100 yard down from "as far as you can walk" is one of my favorite spots on the Clackamas! I heard fired shots again today. It sure does take the peace out of it and spooks the hawks and eagles. Good luck out there! Tony

    Wilson River Steelhead Fishing

    Gun Shots Gun Shots I'm guessing at or near Riverside Park? I'm sure there are other places that hear gunshots, but I hear a guy frequently out there. Sorry you didn't get one. It's been slow the last week for us bankies, but the water sure looks good:pray: Good luck next time.

    Killin' Me! Killin' Me! I've had an enjoyable time just reading your plans, guys! Sounds like a great trip. My boys are off for spring break so we will be sticking to the Clack and Willie. My hook found a nate yesterday, but it's been slow for me. I'm all pumped to just wet a line. Take some...

    Drifting or bobber: what works for you?

    Drifting w/ eggs is my #1 go to, but other factors dictate other techniques. If I'm egg-poor, corkies, yarn and super secret scent.(shrimp and anise mix- shhhh;)) I'm new to throwing a bobber and worm and like it so far. I also like how a steelhead attacks a spinner so I throw them to riffles...

    Clackamas @ Riverside/Winter Steel

    Thanks for the welcomes Fishydog, Fishtopher and Bigdog! Bigdog- Big bro and I have spent a lot of time on the Clack, but with young kids at home it's tough to get out. I usually carry a float set up and a drift rod and an old surplus-type backpack. We must have chatted at some time. I've met...

    Clackamas @ Riverside/Winter Steel

    Thanks Fishydog Thanks Fishydog Thanks for posting the pic Fishydog and appreciate you sharing the spot. I couldn't believe my brother found another on his first cast. I lost one in the same spot on New Years Day and was bummed. I'm sorry you didn't find chrome today, but I've certainly...
