The more time Fishing expedites the Catching Ratio.................:thumb:
That's been my worry, that I may be doing the right things but in not the best spot. I've lost enough spinners to have learned how to fish off the bottom. I can float jigs ok, need to work on mending. Nothing I do seems to ever get a bite except the one time at Cedar Creek with a co-worker who showed me some tips. When I fish my usually spots, nothing at all. Nor have I ever seen anyone else catch from those same spots.

This is my 7th year fishing here in Oregon and I've yet to land a salmon or steelhead. I'm hoping lucky number 7 will make this my year to finally catch!

Kage, I have know quite a few that have gone just as long if not longer before the light clicked on. But when it does go on it lasts a life time. Keep going fishing!!!
The best thing I did when I moved here before I ever wet a line for salmon/steelhead besides the obvious Internet research reading, was to go down to a popular fishing spot and observe, then introduce myself and ask a lot of questions to the guys that were catching fish. Most are friendly and will give you good info. After a couple of days observing and chatting I had a real plenty of info on water to fish, best times per the tides, equipment and terminal gear, rigging, etc. I then started hitting the water 3 times per week, exploring, trying different setups, and eventually caught my first steelhead and salmon all by my lonesome. Then went on a few guided trips to learn new water and techniques.
Do whatever you can to increase the learning curve. I enjoy fishing away from the crowds but learned a lot faster in the beginning by fishing near "catchers".
