How do you get to cross park from bowling alley ? Where abouts do you fish once you get there ?
Riverside coho

There is a path that travels along the lagoon that will take you along the south shore of the river. There is parking by the Gladstone DMV also. The first set of rapids below the High Rocks pool is a good place to start.HANKIII said:

Your all new to the forum, who cares everyone was new at one time or another so instead of trying to talk crap or bash each other, get a long and go get some fish. Have helpfull info to share please do, but why try to talk down to each other to try to make yourself feel better. Lets fish people.
(youngbuck this wasn't directed at you, your post just happen to be the one I quoted)

Or you can go past the bowling alley on Arlington, go two blocks past the four way at Portland Ave, then hang a right on Harvard and park there. The only downside is a VERY STEEP "trail" down to the water, but the payoff is being closer to the first two rapids downstream from High Rocks. I tried it today for a little bit but nothing biting.

Dont listen to Bigdog. He dont know what he's talking about. And there's no fish at Riverside. Nope. They levitate from High Rocks all the way to the ol' Big Fish Hole.

From the way this morning went I think they just levitate past the bowling alley. I mean come on....40 minutes and 4 fish on....Maybe that guy that got thrown in the river just scared the fish away.:lol::lol:

I need to stop going to work so I can check out the Days of our Bowling Alley Hole. Seriously I can't help but laugh at some of the things I see down there

Oh believe me this morning was a show that for sure. Not much of a bite this morning there but the fight was funny. Did get to see a kid land one though, everyone was cheering for him.

Fights at the alley????

I'm not sure I understand today's fisherkids! I grew up wanting to catch fish because it took skill and luck. Not to mention I had a relaxing day on the water. I'm alway more at peace with myself after fishing.... If we get into fights and just get angry about not catching anything we are loosing the value of the pastime. If we are just after fish it is far cheaper to fish the Safeway Ilse The term combat fishing need not be taken so literally!!

Haha, GD, these were grown *** men. Anytime you put that many monkeys in a barrell theres gonna be one or two that dont like each other. You put those two fishing next to each other, and theres a problem. Happens at stores at Christmas time, happens at bars, happens at the end of football games. It happens. And Im pretty sure it happened 50-60 years ago too.
I for one know its way cheaper to catch fish at the bowling alley than safeway. But thats not the point. There ARE good people at some of these "combat" fishing holes. a lot more people on this forum fish there than post about it. Its not much different than an OFF fishing get together. Just a few more people. Throw in a few seedy folks, and it gets interesting. Thats all. If ya dont like the guy your fishin' by, then you move five people down, catch a fish, meet a new friend, and catch another fish. It is what you make of it I guess.

If I bought my fish...... wait there`s no way.....$10+ a lb??!! I should start selling it....lol
This stuff will happen anywhere. I fish where you only see 1 or 2 other people (most of the time). If you get to a hole before the next guy and you don`t fish the same way, you be the arsehole. You can tell by the tone, "any luck"? They just want to know if you caught "their" fish.

I know what you are saying about the way they ask if you had any luck, have had that asked in that way manytimes. I laways look at it like this its public land and there are more then enough fish to be caught for everyone.
I don't mind going to combat holes once in a while but not a place I will fish all the time there is so much river out there. I do have to addmit that bank fishing is limited. Think that is the reason I like to sure the spots I go and find in hope that people will do the same so I can know about more places. Hint Hint.
