OFF hole again

[bigdog]

Ok so I have to say I do love this spot, but the fishing there is going to die down in about a month. (Just in time for some good coho hunting)

So got there in the morning and found myself there with a couple guys that I have fished with down there before, and found Kirkster down there as well.

Tried out the new bait caster and well I'm going to need some practice before I can plan on fishing with that set up for a day. Good thing is I brought one of the spinner rod sets with me.

Well about two half hours in to it fish on, this guy was spunky and put up a good fight, had to play him for a little for I'm running 6 pound leader now, but got him in. 26" of shiny fishie.



So should be there again in the morning if anyone wants to join me. Good luck all.

Bigdog you are schooling all of us that were there yesterday! :shock:

Good job :clap: :clap:

 

[Fishtopher]

good luck up there dog, Ill be fishing down low, trying to snipe some early movers around Cross Park. Only if it rains at a good clip tonight...which I truely hope it does. Would be nice to break out the raingear thats probably all crusty and stiff from winter time....and some higher/dirtier water so I can toss these #4 Slayers I got burning a hole in my tackle box....

Pardon my ignorance gentlemen, but whaere is this place?

 

[Fishtopher]

Just east of Estacada, below Faraday Dam.

 

[starion87le]

Faraday Dam Oregon - Google Maps

Here ya go! It's just outside of Estacada. Look for the westside Hydro Poject sign on 224 and park outside of the gates, follow the fence around to the right and follow the trail down!:dance:

 

[HANKIII]

Do you think they will be moving around cross park ? Ive fished there before,that is a nice place

 

[ninja2010]

to quote osmo... "fish don't teleport" so yeah, they do have to move through the entire river. whether they're there when you are is another question. and whether they're interested in what you have to offer is yet another question.

i love cross park too... so much closer and so much access.

Ok Bigdog, what kind of spinner were you using?? Apparently it was one I didn't have.....

 

[Anyfishisfine]

Nice fish! You and Drifter have this hole pegged.

 

[bigdog]

Ok Bigdog, what kind of spinner were you using?? Apparently it was one I didn't have.....

No spinners in that hole all you'll get is some little trout on spinners, I have only seen one nice size fish landed on a spinner in there. Pinkish red cork and black yarn drifting off the bottom. As far as spinners go though anything I might throw I made. I don't buy premade spinners any more.

Telling you have to make them mad and this one got mad at me hit it good and hard.

Chris I'll tell you what bro if it rains good call me so we can hook up in the morning.

 

[Fishtopher]

Gotcha!

 

[bigdog]

Gotcha!

HEY CHRIS

It's raining!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fishtopher]

Raining at a pretty good clip here...just had to roll up windows on all four of my cars!! Kids are in scramble mode trying get all the dolls,blankets, and video games outta the front yard!! Hope it keeps up at least till morning!

Well so much for that hope, it is almost midnight now we just got back from the concert and it didn't rain at all the whole time. Kind of a good thing seeings how we were outside the whole time. Not good for the fish though but none the less they are still moving up the clack some, just not in real large numbers.
