    Fish report

    We saw a nice Mac floating in the lake-later in the morning a big eagle snatched it up right in front of us and flew up into a big pine with it. It was awesome to see. The fish was probably about 15'.

    I second that, I was out recently fishing for steelies. I coluld see them in the water as it was quite clear, but couln't get them to bite.

    Rudeness on the McKenzie River

    River hogs are simply loosers testing you to see if you will cave in and let them bully their way along.
