doesn't anyone plunk on the santiam????
:lol::lol::lol: Most guys drift it however, If there aren't a lot of people there are places to plunk. A couple of places on the south at waterloo, and up at the hachery. There is a very special place near lebanon, with specialized tactics. I will PM you later with the exact locations later, maybe we can set up a time and we can hookup and I'll show you where. If you want to learn where to plunk on the north there are a couple places to try it there too.
Doesn't any one else fish the upper section of the river? Just curious as this is where I pursue my pray. I must admit I don't see much sign of man where I do my thing. I just find it interesting...:think: is it me?

Upper section meaning where???
Near Sweet Home?
Above Foster???
Above Foster Res.....and at the confluence of the lake.

There are no summer fish up there.
Only native winters...
And most are pretty nasty...
Unless you know something I dont? :think:
Not a liberty to say....at least on here. Are you coming to the OFF Free for All this month at the Delta Ponds? We could talk then....

Hey does anyone on here ever plunk anywhere on the Santiam??
I've never done this before but Im going to this season.
any info would be cool.![]()
Waterloo has a couple of slots, and a modified plunkin' hole up above. Here is a fun one for steelies...Dead Line at wiley park below foster dam. Suuuupper small spin and glow and sandshrimp tail. There is a rock pile strait out in front of you about 45'. Hit on the backside of it and wait. You will need to make sure your weight is on a slider, lots of slack hits, and your weight dropper should be about 18".
On the North try under the bridge in mill city, it's an early morning/evening fishery. 4-6oz weight on a 4ft dropper, 18-24 ft deep!
Mike,
I agree with Raincather, contact Kodiak, the Santiam is his backyard. I used to fish it more when I lived in Lyons, but have moved to Independence. I have seen people plunk near the bridge in Jefferson, at the Reststop on I5, and know an old timer or two that plunk on the Willamette at a spot unofficially known as Social Security Hole on the Polk County side of the river. I think most people drift. I am always looking for more fishing friends for the Santiam. Good luck and tight lines.
