Clackamas River

[OnTheDrop]

So, after some back outs at the coast the next two days, I'm back in the Valley through the weekend. I'm trying to book some seats out of my drift boat on the Clack tomorrow through Friday...

Also, since my OFFers have been kind so kind to me, I will be running the trips at 300$ for two as opposed to 350$.

This is when the Clack starts to turn on a bit, and can be a lot of fun! It's a more relaxing fishery than the coast with good opportunity.

It's also a great fishery for questions about steelheading techniques, and honing in on a skill you've been wanting to master.

Anyways, I thought I would reach out to you guys as I'm looking forward to being on the water the next few days.

Give me a ring or text:971-275-6725

Cheers,

If irresponsibility wins the day, maybe I'll see you out there on Friday.

Not sure what drift we're doing -- maybe Feldies' to Carver, depending on how early we get out.

Should be getting a crack-of-9:30 start. I'll keep an eye out for Tanner, since I know what he looks like and what he rows now.

 

[OnTheDrop]

Sounds good Doc. Depending how Portland treats me tonight, I may or may not be out there. Give me a holllllllla if you see me.

 

[DrTheopolis]

How about rather than a holllla, I give you a beer/bowl?

 

[OnTheDrop]

Lol. Sounds good!

So heading out today to carver heard there is bank access, this is my first time going after steelhead so any tips should be great. I am sure not being in a boat is not the best way but still gonna try! Thanks

 

[troutmasta]

any tips should be great.

Took note and heading out now. Will let you know if pink was the ticket.

Spent a couple hours, no action. Got a call from my 72 year old 'coach' and heeded his advice. Using 'old reliable' I hooked a fish, jump, pull, pull, pull, jump, lost.

But troutmasta is a liar...what the fish bit wasn't even remotely pink

Now that you mention it, troutmasta once gave me a lure (on the Clackamas), and all I caught with it was a rock, some fishing line, or a branch or something.

Well, you might have pointed out where the steelhead were hanging out also. I mostly fish the Wilson.
