good fishing and don't forget your sippy cup :shock: :lol:
there are a couple pools (20 feet deep) by Longbow campground, and by House rock campground. Basically keep an eye on the river when you are driving east from Sweet Home, when you see a nice pool pull over and sneak up on it and wet your line.
You will want to fish the pools as the river is very low right now (I just drove through there on the 8th).

So you were Slacking off at work so now you have to work for 2 Days?!
Jeez, Your a Genius!
Go to the North! Fish the Clackamas or Sandy or Bonneville.
Mmkay, yeah I have a dumb question...where's that at? I'm at work and the google maps thing is blocked on this computer so I can't check it, haha but they haven't got wise to this site yet! thank god. and is it bank accesible? I am a bank maggot this week. (I live in Eugene, so if it's not around here I'm losttttt)Go hit lower tide water on the Salmon river..coho and nooks pulling in..the santiams are slowing down, the coho aren't really in the clack or sandy yet.
Hit salem, turn left to lincoln city. Lots of bank access, small water. I've heard of a few comming from the bridge on 101. Just before you come into lincoln city turn right onto 101 you will cross the bridge..pull over and park. fish just upstream of the bridge. It will make a 90 and the bank is alittle higher right there, the fish move in 10 to 12 ft off that bank...bobber and eggs, shrimp, herring, spinners all have thier place in the dead fish history books in that hole...Should be having some good tides so try and catch the incomming tide.
Well I hit the upper McKenzie this morning because I haven't been up there in ages, and thought for sure I'd put one on ice, they were jumping all over the place. I had two take downs on a self tied jig, but no dice, wasn't able to set the hook before they changed their minds. Gave up around noon, and went and did some trout fishing up at Clear Lake, got skunked there too, but couldn't ask for a better day to be out fishing, perfect weather, and I did not think about the work place for even one second.
Hopefully tomorrow a salmon will die on the Salmon, gonna check it out for sure, got my hands on some fresh uncured salmon eggs, and they're sittin' in the kitchen curing, making my house smell wonderful.
Salmon River is near Lincoln City.
Sounds like a great day to me. What part of the Mac did you fish?
Why is there sooo many rivers with the same name?
2 Salmon rivers,
2 Eagle Creeks.
I bet theres a Second Colombia river somewhere.
