I'm ready for the 50 !Umpqua is still up, fast, and cold for this time of year. SM frenzy hasn’t started yet. I got three this morning, when a typical day this time of year would be closer to 50 before lunch. We needed the water, so I can be patient.
Any park and walk areas you can recommend?There is also the Willamette River ...
Side note: My cousin only has a Washington fishing license, since Rooster Rock is the Columbia river I'm thinking Oregon respects the Washington license in this case? The section from eRegulation that I think applies is:
When angling within three miles of shore from Cape Falcon, OR to Leadbetter Point, WA, or in the waters of the Columbia River where it forms the Oregon-Washington boundary both Washington and Oregon resident fishing licenses are valid. Any anglers other than Washington residents must have a valid Oregon angling or shellfish license when landing fish or taking shellfish by boat in Oregon.
Maybe for numbers. For quality you can't beat the Columbia.....and the Columbia.
The best bass fishing in the state are the John Day River and the Umpqua River.
Or not ..Hmm I guess everyone could provide their "best spot" and then I'll visit them all and see which one works out best.GPS coordinates for any secret holes can be sent directly to me in a private message if needed.
It's fun for about 10 minutes.I'm ready for the 50 !
If you promise to take every bass you catch, I'll dial you in on the Umpqua.Hmm I guess everyone could provide their "best spot" and then I'll visit them all and see which one works out best.GPS coordinates for any secret holes can be sent directly to me in a private message if needed.
I've never tried smokin a bass but I'll throw anything on the pellet grill at least once.If you promise to take every bass you catch, I'll dial you in on the Umpqua.
From clean waters, smoked smallmouth is quite tasty. Firm, flaky ...I've never tried smokin a bass but I'll throw anything on the pellet grill at least once.
During an East wind, Rooster to Stevenson is usually the windiest stretch on the river. More wind in the morning and less later in the day.So we did go to rooster today. As suspected got skunked, its was super windy and the river is way high. We'll keep after it though!
