Best? They? Do you mean the elites? The hyper-smart government pinhead control freaks, whose regulations force us away from what we want to enjoy? Government has ruined education healthcare energy real estate justice system transportation system They are working on the military, freedom of...

Yes, it's been many moons since I bought a tag, probably '80 or 81! The keeper size range was as I recall, between 3 and 6 feet, and when bank fishing, one was often in steep jetty-like terrain, where a gaff was the norm.

We'll have to rollback hundreds if not thousands of regulations based on plant food (carbon dioxide) being re-defined as a pollutant. A greenhouse is hottest at its peak. Earth is coldest at its peak. Earth is not a greenhouse. Beware those lecturing about evil greenhouse gasses, they are the...

the cops should harvest fingerprints from the garbage, since evidence is like a box of chocolates.

'Mayor Anatolly' hmmn, has a nice ring to it, want to job in Portland? We need clear thinkers, and people who understand fish! Adams, not so much.

I think you add a bunch of baking soda to their water, and by the time you get home, they've mostly cleaned themselves. Can someone verify this? It was posted at a cleaning station in a small park, but 'twas too many years ago to be certain... Cheers Try simmering the clam meat, and make mashed...

I used abandoned railroad spikes tied to one link of a 3-way splitter, if the line was 50lb, I use 30lb to attach the spike. Willamette Park, and the old Ferry road at Staff Jennings dock might be good access spots. Cheers

My grandmother had old hats with feathers, and somehow, I received a fly-tying kit (anything to keep me busy) and I got my mom to stop at Scappoose Creek on Highway 30, where I tormented the little trout with my wafting wonders, fished wet with my little Zebco closed-face spinning setup, and...

I should note, that lots of people fish sturgeon on the east end of the big park right in town!

Not for the fainthearted, or city slickers... East of Cascade Locks there is on the river side of the freeway, a large open area, Railroad sidetrack, berry patches, overflow lake, brush, railroad gate etc just beyond this, the freeway comes right up to the river. Look for the railroad...

Many years ago, hooked a monster at the base of the Sellwood bridge (west side) it started swimming upstream, and spooled the 50lb test... ...snap. The beast never felt the drag.

The EPA has been notified.

Hi, I've used apple, cherry and plum from the yard, oak. alder and apple from the woodpile, and for beef, sometimes add in 5% of an aromatic like cedar/pine/fir. The brine can have a great effect, honey, tabasco, brown sugar, salt, worcestershire, chile powders, soy sauce, all come in...

I think polls of multiple choice should all include an option called 'other', this cuts down on the ability of pollsters to rig the questions toward determining a desired outcome. Its all cut-n-paste, and Clair is still free to offer the option of 'other', in addition to the 5 choices, or just...

To quote Clair:"Feel free to leave comments and questions that I can use in my report." I closely followed the poll format, even if tongue-in-cheek, and have not suggested debate. This still being America, and this being in my opinion, an above average forum, I can imagine few better places for...
