heythere
I have just moved to this state. i have never river fished before and since moving out here and asking around a bit for advice on getting started, i am realizing how different it is from lake fishing.
i live in the portland area and am looking to get into fishing steelhead, chinook, trout, and anything else that is new to me. what type of rod and reel should i get that is most universal in fishing steelhead and chinook (and trout?). do you only fly fish for trout? and do you only use a spinning reel for steelhead and chinook?
also- i did a little hiking at eagle creek. any advice on fishing there? do i just get down in there and start casting around or are there certain stretches of the river where there are fish/are not fish..? again- river fishing seems to be night and day from lake fishing.
thanks in advance
