GG pond has a small population of LM Bass. And it does produce some fair sized, for Oregon, bass. But because the population is small I advise against anything other than CP&R fishing for them there. Of course that is your choice. I've found the Long Tom below Fern Ridge to have a fair...

There are undoubtedly bucket mouths in Kirk pond below the Fern Ridge Dam. I am assuming that is where you are referencing. That water is from The Long Tom River, and it is a fairly short (about 50 miles) tributary to the Willamette River. Aside from agricultural runoff pollution from...

Probably plant tomorrow. Maybe I'll head out there tomorrow.

You wouldn't miss me if you ran across me now that I have a parking permit. I'd be parked along the paved pathway. Older green Dodge PU usually with the back open as I don't close it when I take my gear out.

Yeah, that's the area that allows ADA parking with a permit. I fish there when I go because I can park in the center strip that runs between the two paths. As I understand it, the stocking truck usually dumps its load just at the end of that straight stretch of canal, just before the curve.

Not sure what you're referring to as the main canal area. Due to my limited mobility issues, I can only fish the area just by the entrance bridge at Day Island Dr. I have a parking permit that allows me to drive down along the path and park just past the duck pond at the entrance by the bridge.

Yeah, I check that schedule before I Go. At JC pond, they have been stocking on Tuesday. As this was an off week there I decided to try at Alton Baker, I thought they might just send the truck to this area on the same routing day as on week's for JC. I may just try again tomorrow morning.

Well, it would have been had they stocked yesterday or today, but as of 1:00 today it hadn't happened. However, it was very nice weather wise to go sit on the bank and watch nothing happen. At least in the 100 yards of bank area I'm allowed access to.

Well, no.

Today is a good day for Alton Baker if you want to pull on stockers.

Update, or not. I went to parks and open spaces office today. I purchased an ADA vehicle access permit for $10. The disabled have to pay extra in Eugene to use public parks, apparently. It allows limited access with a vehicle to a couple of hundred yards of bank right by the parking lot...

When were these pics taken? I don't see the metal pole holders that were installed when I was there last week.

I was there for a couple of hours yesterday. I saw several people land some nice fish, including what looked to be around a 5 lber caught in a fly pole. I personally never got a bite. The new fishing platforms are nice. They were installing some metal pole holders along the water where the new...

After last week's drive by the pond (I did stop outside the gate to look), it appeared as if the only work that had been done was on the parking area. That's not to say that was all that was done, but it was all that was readily visible from my vantage point. But I hear they are supposed to...

I have a Lowrance Hook 5 that I bought a couple of years ago. It does down and side imaging, tracking and GPS as well as all the standard stuff. While it does all the stuff quite well, in the time that I've had it I still have difficulty working all the features on it. My personal view is that...
