    Dorman Pond Fishing Reports

    That pond is a lot of fun with topwater frogs when it heats up a little.

    Smallmouth bass?

    I believe your friend was pulling your leg ;) That's a good sized bass, and it's hard to judge at that angle, but I don't think it's anywhere near 9 IMO

    Largemouth bass fishing in Corvallis area?

    I would be surprised if Adair has been killed off recently. I have caught quite a few nice bass there over the past couple years. I guess it would be possible if they killed it off and re stocked it with nice fish. I do know that EE Wilson has been drawn down a couple times recently. The most...

    What do suckerfish indicate?

    Suckerfish and Pikeminnow are two different fish. There is no bounty that I am aware of for suckerfish. Both are native and I personally throw them back.

    Largemouth bass fishing in Corvallis area?

    If I am not mistaken... the pond that was killed off was EE Wilson, a few miles up the road - not Adair pond. It is actually currently empty I believe; it sprung a leak this summer. Before I got my boat last year, I was a frequent of Adair. I have been there a couple times this year and I can...

    Late season Hagg

    I was out there 2 weekends ago for the night tournament. It's definitely harder fishing than a couple months ago, but they are there. There were some nice fish pulled out at the tournament. Believe the winning team said they were mostly drop shotting.

    Newport help

    Pretty sure it is a special type of rod, with no reel. But I will x2 troutdude's advice. If you hike into the mouth of the Alsea drift creek (it can be done, with a little help from Google maps), it is some of the most beautiful land/water I have fished. I posted some pics of a hike I did in...

    Tualatin River pikeminnow? (2 questions)

    I'm 99% sure it's legal to fish for them at night, but it would be worth a peek in the regs. I catch pikeminnow on just about everything.. one day last year I couldn't keep them off when I was fishing with just worms. The big fish you see rolling are carp. If you want your kids to never stop...

    My boat is a flat bottom with ribs, so it has to be in the exact perfect spot on the trailer when I am loading it up. I tried for months to find a technique where I could stay dry; I tried the rope, I tried getting good at motoring it up the trailer... no success. And with having a jeep (no bed...

    NE Oregon is high up on my list of places I want to fish. My friend's husband is a fly fishing guide in that area and is always posting really cool pics and videos of the Snake. About 80% of my fishing trips on the boat are solo... so you are not alone in those regards. I find it very peaceful...

    Nestucca and Three Rivers?

    I will be heading to the Nestucca this weekend from the bank as well. As troutdude mentioned, a 6'6 isn't ideal, but it can be done. I caught my first ever steelhead on an old 6'6 medium action Wonderod on an orange blue fox. I would load it with at least 8lb maxima ultragreen for tossing...

    Electric trolling motor help 2

    I would echo this advice. I have a 50lb bow mount minn kota with the foot pedal and while I love it for bass fishing, it is a little tough to keep the boat going straight if you are trolling for trout.

    Hagg Lake tips and tricks

    I have made it to hagg about 10 times in the past month and have been giving some fish sore jaws. The biggest producer right now for me is lipless crankbaits and shakey head worms. I focus on structure for the largies and grasslines/mudlines for the smallies. Let us know how you do!

    It sounds like we are on the same page. Tight lines brother.

    Urban Hawg Map

    I mean, don't get me wrong - I think maps like this for public, well known spots are great. You could see why, though, some of us want to keep lesser known spots... well... lesser known. It is not just the added pressure to a (potentially small, can't handle multiple people) spot. But I have...
