Hi, folks. Looking for a little help for a lake shore fisher wanting to try his hand at stream fishing. Normally I spend my time on the bank chasing hatchery rainbows with powerbait or lures, but was thinking about heading out to Three Rivers or Nestucca for steelhead or cutthroat and have some questions.
Can I accomplish much from the shore and without waders? Do you have any specific spots you'd recommend (I'm coming from Newberg)?
The ODFW regs say I can use bait or lures (I use spinning reels)--what do you recommend?
Also, I've got three setups I can use. Normally I'm at the lake with an old 6' Roddymatic and Mitchell 300 and a new 6'6" ABU Garcia with a new Mitchell 308. Both are medium action rods, according to the label, but the 6'6" is very stiff. I've also got an older ABU Garcia 5'6" light action rod equipped with a Mitchell 408.
I appreciate any advice! Oh, and I know I need to get a steelhead tag . . .
