Unfortunately, no - in a hurry to get out there, my phone was on the dining room table. My buddy inadvertently left his on top of the car - so it's somewhere between Gresham and Dodge Park - lol. Oh well, price to pay for a few fish.
Bummer dude. At least you caught!Slo said:Unfortunately, no - in a hurry to get out there, my phone was on the dining room table. My buddy inadvertently left his on top of the car - so it's somewhere between Gresham and Dodge Park - lol. Oh well, price to pay for a few fish.
Trying again on Fri. The O.D.F.W. report insists there are lots more on the way. But we all know about their " reports ".Slo said:View attachment 640239
a variation of what we were using. I made the ones we used, but this is what I patterned it off of - the Mepps Trophy Series. I made them with black body - green blade, and like this one, too. For whatever reason, this color combination worked better that any fluorescent colors like hot pinks, chartreuse, etc. The one I made used a red hootchie skirt in place of the tube.
do you think Dodge park by the garbage hole would be good on Sunday? trying to get some action but haven’t really seen anything or caught any except for one like three weeks back.cchinook said:Trying again on Fri.

got it.do you think eggs or spinners would work well? still new to sandy cohocchinook said:Lower river should be better , Dabney , Oxbow.
I hope so , this morning at Dabney , Oxbow , and Dodge , stone dead . Nothing . But there is always the snag festival at Ceder.Slo said:I heard it was all private property now, but a couple friends walked all the way down to a hole I used to fish. Back then it was known by a few names like the 'Girl Scout Hole', 'Waterfall Hole', 'Sand Hole', etc. It was about 2 miles down river from the parking lot at Dodge Park, and then down a pretty steep embankment (more like a goat trail). If you stand at the top of the hill, in the right light you can see the salmon stacked up in the hole below the falls. The steelhead would gather more towards the tail-out, scarfing up any salmon eggs that washed out of the hole. Used to tie on a Luhr Jensen Hot Shot and let it swim across the tail-out for steelhead. For the salmon, we would throw eggs or shrimp into the hole right before the waterfall and let it drift through. My buddies hooked a few fish, but unfortunately didn't land them. One thought he was snagged, tried to break it off, only to feel his 'snag' swim out of the hole and downstream. The other hooked a steelhead in the drift above the falls but lost it. Yep, the ones that got away. I'll have to ask them about walking down to that hole, because last I heard, there were signs all over saying do not enter, no trespassing, etc. But with weather coming in on Monday, fresh fish should be shooting up the river soon. It was cool to see them rolling at Dodge Park and down by the Pipeline hole. Oxbow has a few chinook, but most are getting darker and trying to nest. There are coho all over, more in some areas. You just have to move until you find fish.
got it, today, thinking I will go to the Oxbow boat ramp, then probably move towards the garbage hole areacchinook said:Oxbow or Dodge
21 rods at Oxbow today , no coho . 40 or so at the hatchery . Last year it was awesome , I guess the kill nets got them all. I will call O.D.F.W. in the morning and ask them why. I do not expect much of a reply . They might not even know where the Sandy is.‘TroutMaster said:got it, today, thinking I will go to the Oxbow boat ramp, then probably move towards the garbage hole area

They already have enough people to cut the grass. Other then that I do not know what they do all day.PandaMan said:this is my favorite OFF response yet. Serious question tho, I heard that hatchery doesn't allow volunteer workers? Why the hell not?
Just talked to someone at O.D.F.W. , they are insisting that the main coho run has yet to arrive.PandaMan said:this is my favorite OFF response yet. Serious question tho, I heard that hatchery doesn't allow volunteer workers? Why the hell not?
