:lol:Keep telling your self that I'm fairly new on the North but the whole North South rival is pretty funny, all in good fun

 

[SantiamDrifter]

Oh yeah all the good fish return to the south. Plus they get LOTS more fish. Just stating a fact.

 

[SALTYFISH]

Ok I give so everybody knows the south is the place to be!

 

[capblack]

ALL the good fish go up the south, the water is easier to fish, the people are nicer, oh and dont forget about the free beer!!

Not to take away from the fine fish above,a very nice speciman of North Santiam winter steelie,BUT you guys are asking for it...Ya want proof??

 

[skunk]

[SantiamDrifter]

[capblack]

Sometime in the next month or so I am coming to the North to see what its all about..Maybe I can wrap my boat around a rootwad or something..



Seriously.the North,South Molalla and Calypooia fish are pretty much all the same and are by far the prettiest fish around,at least I think so...They are also my favorite to catch,I just don't fish them enough cause I also like to bring a fish home every now and then..

But as the coast rivers start to slow down I will be changing that...

No worries, we have plenty of those and lots of rocks to do it. On a serious note tho, let me know if you do plan on floating the North. I'll give you a heads up on anything to watch out for. We had our first boat sink last saturday, probably wont be the last either.

I was wondering whos boat that was. Did the boat get recovered?

 

[lilsalmon]

I love fishing the North.....but everyone else should fish the South cuz it is much better....

 

[Thuggin4Life]

Way to man! nice fish!

I heard there was gunna be a few people going out the next day for it. I do know the 3 people inside the boat had no experience.

 

[Santiam338]

Thanks and I will take you up on that..

I sank a drift boat once...Back in 79...I just can't remember if it was 1879 or 1979..:think:

No matter..What I do remember is it wasn't any fun...I have not come close since..
