i don't suppose you release the squawfish too do you? I kill em....throw em in blackberry bushes.
Funny how we as humans think some species are not worth anything and others are.....it wasn't fifty years ago the BullTrout was considered a junk fish and people would catch them and toss them on shore and left to rot, now they are listed on the endangered species list and millions of dollars are being spent trying to reestablish them back into the system. It is probably how the Blackberries got there hold; all that fresh fertilizer . The point is that most species are native to this planet and we should treat them all with respect. That's right even the Lawyers...Just my opinion.

Yeah no bait in the tualatin until trout season starts. There really is a very very small chance of hooking a salmon or steelhead during these times so they impose a bait ban. We could have discussion of if it is really a needed rule? I do not think it is because the fishing pressure is so light anyway. Most of the times with a work and hook and weight you are going to be in the zone for bottom fish such as Catfish, squawfish.
What lures do you use for the trout and bass/panfish in the river? I'm going there tomarrow(mother's day of 2008) hoping for some fish to eat or take pictures of. Please reply quickly, PM me if you'd like. I have Senkos, rapallas, rooster tails, BooYah spinnerbaits, bombers, powerbait, Balls o' fire(red salmon eggs), Berkley Gulp minnows (chartruese), colorful jigs, little tube things for panfish, and flies. What should I use?:think:
