this is not your thread, and your commentary is unwarranted.
Sorry Carp, and moderators I lied, one last response. That's just it, nobody asked you. Someone provided info, you gave them flack, merely because it was obvious to you. What clearly isn't sinking in, this is not your thread, and your commentary is unwarranted. Hijack over, have a nice day!
Hehehe....have at it! The more of you people out there chasing springers, the more freedom I have on the river to chase and catch my quarry. I always smile when this time rolls around and as I drive the 205 bridge, look down and see the armada stretched across the Willy/Clack mouth
For most species I target, I find this to be true.
The big exception being winter steelhead. I've always found them to be much more active once the water warms up during the day (which is often only a half-degree, but makes a difference). I've caught way more winters in the afternoon than I have in the early morning.
And Fishnbuck, don't be offended by the Doc, he just has a way with wordsThat was in no way meant to be negative, just having a little fun.
If I ever have any burning questions about fishing, fishing holes, animal husbandry, women, or life itself I will ask this Dr. T, official board question answerer....to prove I'm not such a bad guy, anyone here is free to ask me about whether I think it will be crowded if they go to Dog Creek, Cedar Creek (Sandy), or the NF Nehalem on a weekend during the peak of a run, be it here or by PM.
What about Mills Bridge, Wilson?
You can walk upstream, go under the bridge and keep going up a ways to get a little separation.I don't think it is widely known. Two(*) of the last 3 times I fished there, I was just about the only guy there.
* Both times were a superbowl Sunday.

I have a question....Is the Force stronger in Dr. T or stronger in Mr. Google ?
Ahem, that is MY spot up there...shhhhh! LOL
And to Doc: My apologies, in review I came at you harsher than was warranted.
While the state, and particularly the Portland area are indeed much more populated than they were 20 years ago (by a large amount), the number of salmon/steelhead tags sold is about the same as it was 20 years ago... so much for the "a lot more people fishing these days" theory (which I've heard many times).
Now thats what I'm talking about, easy advice.TIP: To anyone wanting to try their hand at springer fishing at the Oregon City Zoo -- if you go to the Garbage Hole, pleasepleasepleaseprettyplease don't complain about the crowds. Likewise, there might be a hogline at the mouth of the Clack. And you may not get the best parking spot at the Gleason Ramp on the C...
I am almost afraid to ask, but...Where is this OC Zoo you speak of? I did a post search, and I could not find a clear identification. Clackamette Park and surrounding area?
