Back at the Clack and first fish of the morning had me fooled in the beginning, but lacked a bit of fight...and turns out it's the wrong fish, but hey, why not try something different at home, right?

Jack on a Jig:



Next up, summer special on the trusty nightmare:



Two fish by about noon, and the fishing world is back on track

Freebie!

Could have been a freebie lol. Man I didn't touch a fish. Saw one one the bank in the tailout I headed up too. The place came alive around 4. Six or seven guys with 3 oz bobbers. Tunabelly and eggs. I left as they started launching cannon ball floats. They reported 3 fish for 4 trips. And a few other springers have been caught there. But I only saw the one nice chrome summer. Glad u had a good self fulfilling prophecy.

Great fish, how deep were you fishing the nightmare jig?

We'll keep working it and find those fish...you'll get your vengeance!

And I definitely appreciate the down-river spotting while fighting/landing the fish to keep me out of that root ball this fish was trying to bury into.

I tried the sandy yesterday instead of the Clackamas. I had a takedown within my first ten casts and shook it off. Nothing after that but started late around 4. Looks like the Clackamas was better yesterday. I guess the recent rain is finally pushing more fish in.

Upper river or lower river???...i havent been able to locate them bad boys

 

[eugene1]

Congrats on the springer and steel!

 

[OnTheDrop]

Nice ones!

For the above posters: Sandy and Clack both have a grip of fish in 'em all throughout. Sandy is on fire though. Heard of a lot of springers last week.

I caught these two in the upper section of the river open for steelhead. I've also seen and heard of some caught down low this last week, too.

 

[steelie_killa]

[Throbbit _Shane]

Way to go! They say the small springers are the best eaters.
