Olie Damons right in down town Portland. And army surplus called andy and bax used to be right there also.

True they say that the gate is to be locked, but in the last 5 years I have never seen that gate locked. The reason is they are required to allow access to public lands that are surrounded by private logging land. Also, when comming over from Tillamook, you get to Murphys Camp, then the gates...

Thanks for the info. I have seen some of these along 101 but never tried it. Was not sure if there was more off the highway. Lost my Fishing In Oregon book and am lost without it when I go to new areas. The double post is a good thing cause I usually need to hear it twice......or so my wife...

hey yall, I know it sounds stupid. I am looking for some freshwater ponds or lakes around tillamook. I will be working in Retards....I mean Netarts for about 3 months. When the tides are right I will fish jetties and crabbing. Will fish the Wilson and lower Trask but sometimes its nice...

Take a small spinning rod with ya. Use a #3 Bud Spinner (copper blade or silver blade). Put it right in their face. If you see them backing up as it comes to them, hold on. No strike, do it again and again. They back up a few times, but then get pissed off cause they hate loosing ground and...

That sounds like a sweet place to camp. I love the dry camping along the Trask / Nestucca area. Where were yall at? (If you dont mind telling)

Just got a report from a friend fishin there today. 3 keepers within 2 hrs plus shakers. Gonna meet up with him in a day or so. Hope the bite keeps up. Also had 10 people limit on clams within 30 min.

Where you find those "jig tippers"? They look awesome.

They look like a small subway sandwich, but usually solid and heavy. If they wind aint blown, I use one in the lake. Two if its blownin but there is usually an extra one hangin from below my seat just incase.

I use some cheap stuff for an anchor. I am in construction and found some old weights from those old wooden windows. You can find them at habitat for humanity stores, junk sales, etc... they are cheap enuogh that if hung up, just cut free.

NEVER on opening day. NEVER on free fishing weekend and NEVER when they have a big event (be it bicycle ride, run, etc...). Way too many stupid people. I also never take my kids anywhere near these areas during this time because I teach by example and dont want them to learn the stupid things...

Never had a chance to fish it but would love to try sometime. Hear stories of bass and panfish galore.

Depending on the river level, I find it better to stay home due to most spots i like to fish have almost no bank access left, espically if the kid wants to come. Not a safe environment for the kid and sometimes even sketchy for me. And I have and hate to drive for 45 min just to turn around.

Nestucca, 3 rivers, siletz, slamon river.......

I have found that the triangular shape will wedge into the soft bottom and into the rocks without getting stuck like a ball can. And a ball can roll across a soft bottom even in slow current, triangular does not. The flat pancake style also works, but i find the triagular to work a bit better...
