I've found that if I don't bother the rattlesnakes, they don't bother me. It's their home so I give them a wide berth. Dogs are bitten more frequently on The D than humans. Keep that in mind if you're considering taking your dog with you to The D.
Ticks, on the other hand, I hate with a...
Bit of an update:
Jury finds city of Lake Oswego too restrictive on public lake access
By Conrad Wilson (OPB)
April 22, 2024 5:07 p.m.
A jury focused on city’s ordinances that prohibited entering the Oswego Lake from three city owned properties. A judge is expected to issue a final order...
I've never heard a fishing report from Lake Oswego ... perhaps the landowners are not into fishing. With Goggle Map, it appears to be a fairly large lake and considering the close location to the Willamette, most likely is does hold some manner of warm water species. If there are fish...
Obviously there are those in Lake Oswego who can request the city put up signs that indicate what ever they want and the city will do it. .... no questions asked.
This article makes mention that navigable rivers in Oregon are held in trust for commerce and recreational uses .... the land owners have fought the constitutional right from day one and keep losing. The river rights are a fact, regardless of incorrectly written land deeds.
Lake Oswego is...
Ultimately, it makes no difference to me if a rod is 2, 4 or 7 piece (I have one).... as long as I like how they cast, the number of sections for the rod is no consequence.
As with others, I like my remaining 2 piece rods. I've never found space to be a significant problem when traveling so the shorter rod case is no biggie for me. I ended up buying four piece rods because that's about all available these days. But my two piece Orvis and Winston rods are...
When I fished rivers, I was what you'd call an "aggressive" wader. This means I would try to wade across rivers or streams that I had no business attempting to wade. Many times I'd end up floating/swimming downstream after the flow swept me off my feet. I got so I'd check out the lay of...
Those fishing kayaks look like the way to go. I wish they had those back when I started fishing stillwaters and slow moving rivers. They are too long and heavy for me to manage on my own now that I'm in my senior years.
I can't really agree with the steps. I found "method" important long before anything else. In fact, I started out spin fishing as a kid and really didn't care for it. I only started to like fishing when I started using fly gear.
Plus, I'm 72 and go fishing to catch fish ... not just to...
At one time we had a similar information pamphlet in Oregon. I'm not exactly sure what happened to them because I haven't seen one in years.
I know of one case where a land owner called the sheriff in regards to what he claimed was trespassing because the angler was wading in "his" river...
I've never heard of a head coach moved to "advisor". What does that mean? They already have a coach for just about every football move the players can make, what does an x head coach do as advisor?
Halfway through the season I told my wife Pete wouldn't be coaching next season. ...but...
I was involved for many years with a group from Westfly that fought with the state legislature in Oregon over river rights. Some of them thought landowners could own parts of the river but we proved to them that was incorrect. One of the guys on our side spent weeks in the legislature...
College football was part of the fabric of Corvallis and Pullman ... now that there is no Pac 12 and because players and coaches are evaporating, chances are, at least Corvallis won't be known as a college town anymore.
Damned shame that money brought down the athletic departments of OSU...
