I agree I've only ever seen them well east of the cascades. Dosent men there can't be similar genetics else where.

Let's examine the facts.... Steelhead are merely anadromus trout. What you are holding looks like a kind of large rainbow (non-anadromus) I see in the Deschutes called a "red-side" and yes they are very hard to tell apart from a Steele.

....and yes, they are delicious! They are the biggest north American perch.

I fish the columbia a lot for walleye. The real walleye water starts about hood river and gets better the farther upstream you go, all the way to Mcnary. Numbers are always good, averaging 3-6 fish every 4 hour trip. With trips of 25 and 30 fish possible in the right places and times. The...

I lived in central oregon for 12yrs... They have been their a long time! They do (or at least used to) put traps out when they are congregated to spawn. Right before I left, they introduced Atlantic salmon to the lake in hopes they would eat the chub. I have caught one from east lake.

From what I'm hearing... Sounds like they've moved deep to more stable water temps. What colors were you working?

Made it ou this morning... Not much action with the full moon upon us.... Nice sunrise over I-84 though.

I appreciate the interest that these fires have gotten but people are missing the bigger picture. I have an education in natural resource management and have spent a number of years fighting fire. Yes, the weather conditions are what made these fires so explosive and fast-moving. These types...

So... O did go out the other day. It was a beautiful morning! Tried for some walleye but switched over to bass. Caught some but not as many as I could have. Got a couple nice pics though!

Hey everybody, gonna go out tomorrow. Haven't been out in couple weeks, wanted to know if anybody had a current walleye report?

Yeah... Tuff time of year for the eyes. There's just way to much forage in the river. That's why the the last three trips were almost exclusively bass trips. I've been doing some research to help target eyes this time of year. it's hard to get good info cnsidering most guys seem to be fishing...

I know exactly where those were caught. Been fishing that stretch for years... We're those suspended or on the bottom?

No prob.... Had days of driving out and finding the columbia swell raging away.

I live at the other end of the Gorge.... Rule of thumb on the wind, if the east wind is blowing in Portland it's glass calm at Hood River and beyond. I know! It's not a lot of days but pretty reliable pattern.

.....lures that is.
