I will totally take you up on that! I've got a bucket list going this summer of different lakes to try out and locate, but nothing south of Roseburg yet. We're heading out to Strawberry Lake this weekend for a camping/fishing trip, but I'll PM you after we get back

If you're interested in hiking/fishing the Eight Lakes basin this August, let me know. I was planning a 5 day overnight trip around there in mid-August, but my buddy backed out.

Thanks! Yeah, Shewey's book is where I had the idea to try and find it in the first place. I was able to navigate to spur 630, and get to the parking area near where the red line starts on my map. I just struggled to bushwhack my way along the red line. Looks easy on the map, but a half mile...

I tried to bushwhack my way to this remote lake, located probably about 2 north of Highway 20 and 20 miles east of Foster lake as the crow flies. I got maybe about a quarter mile from the lake, but it was really hard going, no trail whatsoever. There was evidence of a campsite, so I was...

That's wild! There's two other lakes near there, RIggs and Don, so it could be those as well. Riggs was fished out when I found it, but I want to find Don this summer as well. Where did you hear about the amber?

Hey all, I live in Eugene and am looking for someone to fish with in the Eugene and Oakridge area this summer. I prefer fishing for brook trout in the high mountain lakes, and these are only accessible after the snow melts. Examples of lakes I've fished are Abernethy, Midnight, Blair, Spirit...

I went last Saturday on the 11th, supposedly it had been stocked at least twice according to the ODFW schedule. Lots of people fishing, but nobody was even getting bites

I prefer the more secluded high mountain lakes as well, and had a similar experience this summer chasing Brook trout. Hiked into Spirit, Gander, and Blue Lakes, all near Oakridge, and didn’t get a single bite! Same experience camping at Blair. Still glad I fished those lakes though, because...

Hey all, I’m going fishing for steelhead for the first time ever, and I have no clue what I’m doing. I scored the Addicted Winter Steelhead kit from Costco for Christmas, but just realized my trout pole isn’t strong enough for steelhead. So 2 questions; will a 9 ft pole cut it for Steelhead...

They are pretty close, turns out. Looks like you take the same road to get out there, 24 I think

Went up there and got within 1 mile from the lake, and hit about 2 feet of snow! I think they had their first snowfall a week or two ago. Turns out I wasn't the only who tried though, there were about 10 other fellas with the same idea

Hey, I'm planning on hitting up Blair Lake tomorrow near Oakridge. Anyone know if that road is still accessible in winter? It seemed like a pretty accessible drive, but I just wanted to make sure there's no gate or anything before I spend an hour and a half driving out there

That's wild! My dad swore by Super Dupers when I was a kid, so they're some of the only lures I've ever used! You're a little younger than him; he was in the Army and served in Berlin from '66 - '68. His grandpa, George Parr, was the sheriff out in Burney, I think. Funny story about my...

Does Gary Callahan ring any bells? My dad was born there, and lived there through 1979. I was born on Hatchet Mt., but they moved when I was 2.

Do you mind me asking your age? My dad is his early 70's and was born in Burney, just wondering if you might know him. Totally loves Brook trout, too!
