Commonwealth is not far west of Cedar Hills blvd and a bit south of Hwy 26. It's in Beaverton! Exact directions can be googled and it shows up nicely on a map program if you zoom to the area. I'd say it's less than a mile west of Cedar Hills blvd - between that road and Murray.
I have only...
I was up there last year looking for a place to park within reasonable walking distance that didn't appear to be covered by a no parking sign and didn't find any. That doesn't mean there were none so obviously do go check (and tell us if you find one! ;)). The only other option I can think of...
There is a little store on the road to Hagg lake that sells munchies, worms (munchies for the fish I guess) and some tackle - you might try it out. It's further away than you mention, but in Forest Grove there is a Bimart, and if you have a $5 life time membership they have a very good supply...
Dairy creek like the Tualatin isn't a meandering slow moving stream the whole way! The main problem up further is that it's got a lot of private land around it, so you have to work to find a way to get to it - or find a nice land owner (and obviously pick up after yourself and close gates and...
Don't know if it's still any good or not but I used to fish for trout in Dairy creek up above Mountaindale - it's a bit west of North plains then north up mountiandale road. Rarely got anything very big, but they were a hoot on ultralight line. Of course back then you could use bait, I'd bet...
Do we follow laws we like and just break ones we think are silly or don't like? Just asking. Most of us do it all the time when driving, why not when fishing?
If Steelhead are in Gales creek they have to head through Cook park to get there! I've seen people fishing there, but never tried myself. Bank access isn't great but you can get to the water in many places with enough room to flip a lure or bobber-n-bait (when bait becomes legal) out. I may...
A lot of the water quality in the area is better in some ways than it used to be particularly sewage and stuff aren't getting in. These days it's mostly invisible chemicals and still lots of run-off from yards so it's fertilzers and what not. I do wonder what's happened to the local native...
Glad that's cleared up, sure want to keep this forum friendly. That's the problem with this medium of communication, nothing but cold words to go on to tell what the other guy is thinking or saying. It's easy to get things wrong!
As for the fish I was catching. They were cuts for sure. It's...
Hold on, TRUCE!!! :cool: FIRST I was in high school and back then there wasn't an issue with keeping fish, even so I frequently let them go. 2nd they were legal to keep if I'd wanted to, and the ones I did were bleeding badly out the gills or what not and would have died - so I decided to keep...
Even wayyyy back when (1975-82ish) I caught what looked like hybrids between the stocked Rianbows that held over and the native cut's - would not surprise me at all if they were still "doing it".
I would think a sea-run cut that was in fresh water long enough to get all the way up to the...
I haven't a clue! ;) I am going to read up on Walleye fishing and hopefully find something in my tackle box that will work. I'd So hate to have to go to Cabellas or fishermans wherhouse and buy more fishing gear (not, any excuse works for me!).
Last time (and the only time) I went to Kelly...
:confused: Where is Multnomah channel? Never mind - duh - used the internet & found it!
How is the bank access there? May have to take a drive up there and look around. I've heard that Sauvie Island had some panfish spots in lakes - could hit those too while on a recon...
