Jarhead2, yes I'm in Portland. I would love suggestions on warmouth and crappie. I'm planning on devoting most of Saturday to this endeavor. I might try to hit up Willow Bar soon. Do you fish the river side or the inlet side? It's not too late in the year is it?

FishNinja: thanks for the tip. I tried that place out one time earlier in the summer and caught a slew of bluegill but that was it. It sounds like it might be worth another visit...

Thanks for the tip on Mirror lake. Bull trout - yeah, that's what i've gathered but have read Billy Chinook lake is one of the few places you can go get them. Fanno is very conveniently located. I've tried it once but the water way really really tiny and I only say one little bitty fish chase...

Needs to be on a fly rod. Bottom feeders will be tough. But any locations with some weird ones I'm interested in knowing.

Well, that's pretty awesome tips. If i can go there to maybe catch whitefish, perch, white crappie, and suckers I'll be all over it! Those will all be new for me. You fish in Oaks bottom or out at the Willamette river where it connects to Oaks Bottom? Thanks for the tips. I'll probably try to...

I am in a little competition with friends spread across the country and am looking to nail down a few new fish species and would like to solicit help! If you know any locations particularly in and around Portland where these can be found, I would appreciate input. If you want to come with I'll buy...

sapo, thanks for the info. I actually work just across I5 from there! I'll hit it one night after work, maybe tomorrow. Any other weird random gems in that area?

Hmm, you fish the shad down below the dam or up in the reservoir? That one wasn't even on my list! I know one of my buddies out in NC missed his run though. thanks for the post.

A bunch of friends and I are doing a year-long competition to see who can catch the most different species of fish on the fly. I'm still a little new to the Portland area and am looking for advice and suggestions on where to catch some random fish species. What I would love some help on finding...

So I'm new to the area and am used to catching smaller trout in the Rockies. Living out in the PacNW now, though, I have to go chase after the big boys. I got my first steelhead over the weekend and was surprised with my luck. I didn't get a measure on it, but I am guessing ~32". I think...

My preference is the magnetic flip open foam ones that don't latch shut. Some people prefer their fly box to be waterproof, but mine never get wet so I prefer them to be easy to open. What I love more than anything is the new style inside where the foam is slit for each fly. It makes putting...

I'm moving up to Portland from Eugene next weekend. I try to get my fly rods out for a walk most weekends and will be looking for new people/places to fish (with). I'll be in SE Portland metro area, LO/West Linn. pm me or something if you want to head out in a couple weeks.
