Yes it's a 'private" stretch of the Umpqua, south of yellow creek boat launch.Looks like that was a blast and congrats on the PB! Is big K a private launch on the Umpqua?
How do you like those stabilizers? Is that so you can stand and fish?
I do use their website but it is not secured, it's all still mom/pop, not sure if that's something they fix on their end?Had not heard of this place before; but found this FB page. The website that popped up wasn't secure by the way. So I didn't launch any of those links.

I'm no computer wizard. But I'd suspect that making their page secure would be done on their end. I never ever launch any site that doesn't show "https". Which means it's non secured. That's all I know. And if they made it a secure site, they would likely get more business. As folks would feel safe launching their site.I do use their website but it is not secured, it's all still mom/pop, not sure if that's something they fix on their end?
I've always called with questions, super friendly on the phone
Curious about the fee. Website says $75 to launch a boat or $25 to bank fish it. You launched for $25. Did the fee change?Yes it's a 'private" stretch of the Umpqua, south of yellow creek boat launch.
I've fished around it but never in it, just hard to access that part of the river, even though you could obviously float it legally, they just own the land around it.
Super nice people, it's mostly cattle farm, but they have lodges and offer fishing charters
We saw all kinds of animals, 2 skunks, deer with their fawns, turkeys, bald eagle, ospreys/hawks, herons, snakes, and what I really believe were 2 otters.
It's 25$ to launch, but you'll need 4wd more than likely.
If you search it on Google earth it pulls up one of the houses on property, not the actual lodge.
So far the stabilizers are awesome, they add some noticeable drag, but I can stand up and fish, including land and release
I'm up/down a lot because I need to adjust the kayak, especially in current.
I really think a vectored rudder would help, but a nice Minnkota would also do it lol
Not sure, I just tell them I'm gonna kayak it and fish the same hole or float itCurious about the fee. Website says $75 to launch a boat or $25 to bank fish it. You launched for $25. Did the fee change?
I have some friends that want to fish it but I'm not paying $75.
Drift boats are $75. Not worth it to me for bass. Maybe for Salmon....maybe.Not sure, I just tell them I'm gonna kayak it and fish the same hole or float it
And they charge me 25$
Maybe more for a full size boat?
Havent caught enough big ones get!Drift boats are $75. Not worth it to me for bass. Maybe for Salmon....maybe.
We put in at another spot I know and fished about a 2 mile stretch. Caught fish throughout. Nothing big but got a couple chunckers. Company was great but I find bass fishing on the Umpqua so boring.

Everytime I go I bring some larger swimbaits, definitely seen some submarines out there.
What's big on the Umpqua? Kinda spoiled with Gorge smallies.Havent caught enough big ones get!
