Guys, I fished the Siuslaw around Mapleton (fished at Tide, the guard rail hole) on Saturday 10/13/2012. I did the unthinkable and left my backpack and fishing vest there (guard rail hole). If you or someone you know found it, Please get a hold of me. Let's make us both happy! You get enough...

Nice post!! And good song! :)

Guy and Gals, I have heard that the fishing is supposed to heat up for steel on the South Santiam (and probably other willy tribs) when the Blackberries are ripe. Well I picked a handful last night for the first time.. Have any of you heard this saying? Any validity to it? I caught one on a...

Thanks SD! Where do you get your prawns?

Hi All, I just purchased some divers to drag around behind by boat. I have eggs but I know that prawns are a favorite on the S. Santiam and other local rivers (I live in Corvallis). I was wondering where you guys get your prawns? I know you can buy them cured, but I was thinking about getting...

Kais- here is my set up- probably the easiest/simplist/cheapest/most effective from your flyline create a leader by cutting approximately three feet sections of mono fillament; ~25 lb test, ~15 lb test, and 8 lb test. Tie a loop (a double overhand knot is fine) in one end of the 25 lb. (that...

Yup. Do it to it!

Hi all, This thread has been a little slow lately. I imagine guys are out hunting. Anyway, I am really looking to get into some fall steelhead in the corvallis area. I am looking at the s. santiam, the mackenzie, the mf. willamette or the Siletz. Any ideas? I have friday evening, and all...
