awesome, thanks for this - just looking at it on the map, are the water levels high enough to make it up Oswego creek to the lake? I am assuming the Willamette will also not require a shuttle

I am in the process of gathering all that you will need - expensive, but I guess cheaper than buying a boat still! Thank you for the invite for this weekend - once geared up, I will for sure join you - maybe a few weeks. Thanks again Kem!

Kem, This is great information. Until next summer, yes I am in Hillsboro, but hoping to move closer to more water once I do. I dont mind a day trip for fish and have been known to drive a bit excessively to get to those fisheries. I am a member now on NW Kayak Anglers, so I will keep my eye out...

any suggestions on other places to get out on my kayak with easy on/off water access? I am trying to stay out of the rough rivers as I have zero kayaking experience and want to avoid injury if possible. Some parts of the Colombia look good on videos, but i have no idea where people actually...

Thank Kem and Bass. Do you use the Navarre Kayak kickstand for your wilderness carts? I pulled my truck down forwards and reversed back up the ramp to make it easier to get it up in the bed. It worked out wonderfully. Taking everything out helped a lot too, especially the PDL drive. Thank you...

Hey fellow OFF members, Is there an ideal spot to launch a kayak given the low water levels? I tried the C ramp on Friday, but I had a lot of trouble getting my sportsman pdl 120 up on the cart to pull it back up the ramp - as I carted it down.. i was thinking I should not launch it all here...

Called ODFW for information - deleted.

cast iron skillet with lemon garlic butter and a bit of salt and pepper, keep it simple I always say.

Ok, so I figured out a better form of this question - where do they sell nightcrawlers at around 6am on the weekdays? Does anyone know of a gas station or some kind of stop? Looking in Northwest region.. Hillsboro area to coastal area thank you for your help!

I run 10 # braid to a 6# fluorocarbon leader for just about every thing that I have fished and have had good luck with the bass using that with jigs and white twisters as well as spinners. I use a 6'6" spinning rod with a 2500 spinning reel for more versatility... that and I am really trying to...

Thanks for the information @troutdude - guess I will cut my trip short tomorrow - though it doesn't look like the high winds come in until after 5pm.

I plan to try my luck with Senko for some bass this week - thanks for the idea ! Love learning new stuff.

I watched a couple senko videos, nevermind on the a just a bubble :)

Thanks @C_Run - just spoke with John and unfortunately he said he is not full-time guiding until November, but plan to book another trip with him then! Thank you

you can just fill the a just a bubble with a very small amount of water and it should not make the line sink any faster... at least that is how it works when i have a dry fly on the end.
