I saw a turtle in the south umpqua just across the streer from Douglas high last summer, in sort of a little still water cove, awesome bass fishing in there. Its my favorite spot all you need is a split shot and a nite crawler and almost every cast is a catch. Also some bluegill, tiny things but they fight hard.
South Umpqua, are those smallmouth?
thar are many smallmouth bass in the south Umpqua..................
thar are striped bass at the mouth of the Umpqua.........................
Yes I know that but was referring to this "little Cove" that mruglystick was talking about. I thought he may be saying that there are some Largemouth in there. After all he said there are Bluegill.
Welcome to the Family Brother Mr Grey1.
Sometimes i see snapping turtles & others on the creeks when i'm looking fer crawdads. Two years ago a snapper lived in my basspond all summer. They eat quite a few fish. Quite a few bull frogs live by the pond also .........................
And the non-native bull frogs are doing the same.Snapping turtle are a non native species in Oregon. I recommend that you notify ODFW. They do not want them in Oregon as they will disrupt the natural balance of our ecosystem.
And they stink!How about the many many native salamanders ( rough-skinned newts ) ???..........................
And they stink!YUK:shock:

I See Beloved Children playing with salamanders (rough-skinned newts) along our waterways. Parents PLease ask your Young'Uns to wash their hands after handling these friendly critters. It is possible there could be a problem because they do secrete a toxic substance (oil) ? through their skin pores, which is their defense against predators.
I like them but the population has increased greatly over the years...........................
I almost want to buy it just to find out what the pleasure part is.
