    Sandy River coho , Oxbow Park.

    Awesome! Carp, not sure if you fished the D or not, but it's been a crappy steelhead year. I have, however, been killing it for trout in the Maupin area, jimmy legs w dropper to caddis pupa, october caddis, prince...Fished it the last couple weekends and was super productive, lots of bigger fish

    Salmon River (Clackamas County)

    I'm pretty sure it's closed to all fishing now, but when it's open there is some decent trout/whitefish and it does have salmon but you can't fish for them

    New member saying hi, and looking for tips

    Hey dub, I fish the lower stretch of the tualatin quite a bit, and I have also kayaked the lower couple of miles (as well as the middle/upper stretch). I've never been to River Run city park, but it looks like it's on what I call the crappy part of the Tualatin (not that it's bad fishing, just...

    Rivers Tualatin River Fishing Reports

    Where were you at? I saw some coho activity at the mouth yesterday (only about 350 over the falls so far though), but I had kayaked down from a few miles upstream and it didn't seem like they had gone up too far. Bass fishing is slowing down on the T, if anyone is wondering.

    First fly rod, where's a good starting place?

    When I started out I practiced in my yard or a field (somewhere with casting room). I tried fly fishing for real for the first time at a local pond, and then transitioned to rivers. You live right by the Mckenzie, give it a go when you're ready.

    Bass fishing Portland/Gresham

    Willamette is good, lower Tualatin (not really close to Gresham though), that's as much as I know for that area. There are probably a lot of local ponds near you with bass, I know there are a lot near me (I live in Tigard)

    Fly fishing ideas for early Nov. trip to Oregon

    Yes the Deschutes will have some steelhead but it is a crappy year this year, not sure how well you'd do. There are a couple coastal rivers (Miami, Kilchis) that will be loaded with chum salmon and fly fishing for them is a blast.

    Unlucky trout fishing in Oregon

    Start fly fishing ;) That way, you can fish with imitations of what they actually eat, not nasty fluorescent balls of bait. Good luck!

    Possible retirement in Oregon

    kurtataltos Yeah Bend is actually a pretty nice town, I have friends who live there and they love it..I've been there quite a bit too and it's great. Plus, as many others have said, lots of lakes around and many good rivers (although the Deschutes and Met tend to be powerful, big, fast-moving...

    Possible retirement in Oregon

    If you like to fly fish, especially for trout, southwest oregon is probably one of the worst places in Oregon to retire. I'd recommend Bend or another city in central oregon (depending on what atmosphere you like, budget, etc.)..Central oregon is hands down the best place to live for fly fishing...
