    In search of year round creek fishing

    I'll put in 2.5 hours for the A+ advice you're dishing out. I have a tenkara rod for the first time this season and would want to partner it with hikes, with populated town areas around the Luckiamute fine as well for those quick stops on road trips.

    Surf fishing advice

    You're welcome! Seriously look at the forecasts and don't think you're tougher than the water. I spent so much time researching safe surf fishing conditions (shout out Oregon Life, aka Casting Call on here) after having a harrowing experience during what I now know was king tides. Damn near...

    Surf fishing advice

    Hug Point has spots to cast near rocks. Of critical importance is to check the wave forecast a day or two before you go out. Here is Cannon Beach's forecast: https://magicseaweed.com/Cannon-Beach-Surf-Report/313/ Look at the column "Primary Swell". For safe conditions, you're wanting the...

    Timothy Lake 7/31-8/12

    Thank you so much! I also have a tenkara rod that may help with tighter spots. Will definitely get out to some of these streams as we head towards the stream closing date.

    Timothy Lake 7/31-8/12

    I have gear, but am an absolute beginner on the fly. Where would be easiest to hone my skills? I've heard below the Timothy Lake dam is fairly good fishing.

    Surf perch around Nehalem Bay report

    No pics, but what you're describing matches up with what I'm seeing. Most of the images when I searched Oregon surf perch look the same, so maybe they're just surf perch and don't need the yellow.

    Surf perch around Nehalem Bay report

    Beat the heat a couple of days this week and camped at Nehalem Bay State Park. Had the chance to fish two incoming tides with some success. First day was behind the south jetty of Nehalem Bay. Caught yellow surf perch about 200 yards south of the jetty rocks. Second day was at Hug Point State...

    58 years is a long time! No shame in feeling sad about losing the person most important to you; it won't define who you are as a person. If you feel ready again to sink a line into the water, remember some of her sound advice :)

    Spring is a time of growth and a chance for all of us to refresh a bit. Take care of these birds while they need it, and do what you can to take care of yourself. That was a rough winter and the cold is lingering. As I get older I'm appreciating spring with greater revere since it's clear that I...

    How did you find your favorite fishing spot?

    Closest to my house and it's chock full of bass, carp, catfish, and sturgeon if I feel like it. Willamette River, take your pick of under any bridge...

    New to Portland area. Not sure where to start.

    You got me pumped up. Going to try the Deschutes this year, especially in April. Not a good fly fisherman; need to get reps in elsewhere so I don't ruin the stream for others with my flailing about haha.

    Shore fishing in Lincoln City

    I'll be staying nearby the 15th street beach access and noticed it gets kind of rocky off shore right at the access point. Any suggestions based on the screenshot map of if it's worthwhile to try out? Looks like a pool in the northern part of the screenshot, and maybe a trough in the southern...
