    Help with navigating the regulations

    Okay, thanks! So about the title? Is it very tricky to go forward without the bill of sale? Is it possible to peel stickers off and start anew? Not sure what's easiest/cheapest.

    Help with navigating the regulations

    Hello! It's been a while since I've been on this great little forum. So, I bought a 12 foot aluminum boat (came with a trailer, 3HP gas motor, and oars). There was no title and I do not have a bill of sale. I have heard varying opinions from friends/family about how to go about getting this...

    Trout fishing: July 20th, 2012

    Well, Wildcat Bridge is northeast of Moonshine Park near Logsden, OR. Up the river from there.

    Couldn't have done it without you,bro!

    I know it's fruitless to cause an argument or anything on forums, and I sincerely don't intend to. I just want to write that the "homosexual" bit is rather offensive :/ I really enjoy reading about everybody's catches and trips, but that detail unsettled me deeply. We are all people here and we...

    John Fahey! Anything with that retrospective folk/americana twang.

    Advice for a fishing trip in two weeks?

    What am I looking at for spacing between flies? And tippet size/length? Edit: From what I've read, it appears that lighter tippet/leader (5x-7x) is ideal. Now, is this because the flies I'll be working with are smaller (so that the cast will lay out correctly)? I'm just nervous about the...

    Advice for a fishing trip in two weeks?

    Thank you both! This information helps tremendously. I'm going to try out some nymph rigs before heading out on the trip. Thanks for the extra push in that direction, krisbman.

    Advice for a fishing trip in two weeks?

    Hello! My dad and I are going to fish the Metolius and Deschutes Rivers in a couple of weeks. A four day trip. I have done quite a bit of research and a page in my notebook is filled with notes; but I still feel unprepared. Does anyone have general advice/good pointers about the Metolius for us...

    Trout fishing: July 20th, 2012

    Hey Brandon, my friend saw two or three swimming and we both heard one jump downstream from us in a slow pool (!). We also saw evidence of cleaning... a huge tail and such. All of that leads me to believe they are definitely in the river, but Carol at the store said warmer waters is cause for...

    Trout fishing: July 20th, 2012

    Mike, after seeing this net in others' reports I just had to find one! Got mine from Back Country Fly Shop in Corvallis for $30. I think it's called a MeasureNet. Yeah, I was surprised by the mature look of the fish... the alligator mouth! I am so accustomed to seeing little fish! Have fun on...

    Trout fishing: July 20th, 2012

    Just thought I'd give a little report. I went over to the Siletz with a coworker on Friday; we only covered a little over half a mile (as a crow flies) upriver from Wildcat Bridge. I was dry fly fishing for trout while he was spin fishing for steelhead. I caught about 35 trout which were all...

    Questions about Colorado Lake (east of Corvallis)

    I didn't pursue information on Colorado Lake much further. I had a rather ugly situation come about when we tried to visit Fisher Island Pond east of Corvallis. I did a bit of research on how to access it via Ireland Lane (the "no trespassing" route), and a guy with two chained/aggressive dogs...

    Questions about Colorado Lake (east of Corvallis)

    Colorado Lake. My dad asked me to do a bit of research on it... but I can hardly find a mention of it anywhere (not counting those "automated" filler websites). He says he remembers hearing long ago that it had some warm-water species in it. I guess I'm just curious if it is open to the...

    Little Luckiamute fishing

    Thank you for the heads up! It makes complete sense. I do feel strange having caught fish that I struggle with identifying. Fly fishing is still new and with each bite I think, "Oh no! I'm just practicing, I don't deserve the attention (although my cast has improved significantly!)."...

    Little Luckiamute fishing

    I went up again for a quick trip around 5pm today. Within 15 minutes, I caught and released a 9 inch trout on an orange stimulator. An hour later I recasted into the same spot on our way out and caught/released an 8 inch trout (olive stimulator). My little sister was with me; pretty nifty to...
