I’ve been driving past the Nehalem and Wolf creek on the sunset highway and I’m planning to fish them. Anybody advice on lures and flies?
Cutthroat and rainbow trout. I don’t know if salmon and steelhead are up there yet or if it’s legal to fish for them there.troutdude said:For what specie(s)?
pinstriper said:"Officer, these guys on the internet said...." will REALLY not get you any slack.
troutdude said:True dat. Which is why I recommended reading the regs for himself. We are always glad to help interpret. But you really need to know them for yourself.
Case in point: several years ago my BIL was nook fishing, on the Alsea near Tidewater. Upon take out at the ramp he was approached by a LEO (law enforcement OFFicer) whom asked, "Whatcha got there" as he looked at the fish in my BIL's hands. My BIL began to reply with..."well, OFFicer, I think it's"...BAM! He was ticketed on the spot! For failure to identify WHICH SPECIE of Salmon that he had--BEFORE pulling it into his boat. Ergo a fisherman / woman is REQUIRED to clearly know the differences between Nooks and Ho's.
Carry on...and tight lines. TD
Thanks for the advice, I got some of the lures you recommended.troutdude said:P.S. I've just realized that I've hijacked your thread @Fred. Sorry. Let's return to answering his question about best lures & flies; for when the stream does open for trout on the 22nd. I vote for Thomas Buoyant spoons, Mepps spinners, Woolly Buggers and Teeny Nymphs.
Thanks for the website linkrogerdodger said:paper copies are great, but any serious fisherman in Oregon needs to get familiar with using the on-line regs:
