Lets not forget the WAYCO area off I-105 west near 42nd street, great area for Trout,Steel,Salmon and sun fish...Pretty cool area. Soon it will be a city park, I look forward to the parking.. It always gives me the creeps parking along the freeway, cell phone use being so prevalent; find myself just waiting for the sound of the crash.
Anyway great prosperous place to fish, and very close to town.

Is that the spot were you can walk down the gravel road down to the river over the little wood bridge that crosses the slough?
Can you guys describe this place a little further? What is it near on 105? The mill there?
Thanks
Go to 42nd and Marcola Rd. There's a gravel parking lot across from a trucking company. Follow the road beyond the gate and it will lead you there. The water in the slough is warm all year. It has bass, bluegill, carp, catfish, trout, and pikeminnow. I wouldn't eat anything from the slough. That water comes directly from the paper mill. Anyway, follow the road and it won't be long until you see the river. There's also trails that lead to the river before you get to the bridge at the slough. You might run into a homeless camp and you might not.
One time i was fishing down where the bums camp and didn't catch any fish but I managed to catch a unopened 12oz miller high life.
Bum Camp, adds that element of excitement. Better pack the 38 special.
Thanks for the directions!
couldn't agree more. I park at the lot by Marcola road and don't worry - lots of folks walking their dog, etc, and everybody I have run into has been friendly.Bring a "40" not a .40 lol
I fish down there by myself all the time, and have never had an issue with the homeless people, treat them like people and they'll do the same. The majority of us are one or two paychecks away from their situation, we're just fortunate enough to retain jobs...So don't be rude to 'em....It's called Karma.
