I went out today, despite the....northwestish weather. Picked up a Northern Pikeminnow, about 14" on a swimbait early and then nothing. You're right that the water level needs to come down some more. Geez it needs to stop raining finally.
That said, any tips you have, especially for bank angling would be a help. I moved last year and can't seem to pick up the hang of Oregon fish.
