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...

This is still my favorite:

I tell you what. I wouldn't eat Lamprey no matter the health concerns. Those are some seriously spooky look'n critters ! I know they are anadromous and an indicator species, but I sure didn't know people ate the suckers. OHA issues health advisory for lamprey in the Columbia River...

Long, long ago, my wife, Virginia, and I would take a yearly trip to fish the Yellowstone country. We'd take off the first of September and stay at the same motel in West Yellowstone year after year. This time of year reminds me of those trips. We'd fish the Madison, Henry's Fork, the...

Great. Word in the bass world is that the lower Deschutes temps have gone up to a point smallmouth are starting to extend their population up the river. I'm sure the warmer temps can't have a positive effect on the salmon,trout, steelhead . Figures. I like fishing for smallmouth but...

This card came with some flyfishing materials ..... I'm trying to figure out if the net is real or if someone photoshopped it for some reason. If it is real, this guy is overly optimistic as to the size of fish he'll catch .....😦

As with most fly tiers, I started out using Mustad hooks and most had a down hook eye configuration. As time marched on and massive changes started to occur in fly tying, I found myself using the new, super sharp longer shank slight curve hooks with ring eyes more and more . I always...

After almost three years, I finally had a productive trout fishing trip. John, Jay and myself went to Olalla Lake in the coast range of Oregon. They had recently planted the lake with a range of sizes for the rainbow they dumped in. They were all planters but that's all you ever catch at...

For years I've used rattle can spray paint for my hard body poppers but I'm thinking about upping my game and start using an air brush instead. Problem is, I don't really need an expensive pro system but there are many, many hobby/craft models of air brushes out there and I have no clue...

You probably should restrict how many of these guys you eat ... if you're into that sort of thing and come up with a fly they'll take...

I remember when I saw my first blue water pattern. Compared to the size of trout flies, the streamers were HUGE. Now those huge patterns are used in freshwater for very large trout and browns and I have a feeling we should be using that size and even larger for bass. I've noticed there is a...

I know a lot of you guys are computer savvy ... just as much or more than those on a computer site ... so here's the situation. My wife has an HP laptop running Windows 10. The computer is older than dirt so we just bought a new one (also HP, also Windows 10). I thought there was some...

Sea-run Cutthroat Trout are actually more unique to our region than are salmon and steelhead, yet there really isn't a lot of scientific studies done of the fish. I was writing an article in regards to fishing for SRC and contacted the ODF&W for scientific background info ... they had very...

I've noticed that the Hareline blood quill marabou has gone downhill. It appears that something has gone wrong with their dying process so the ends of the marabou are not straight but kinked. I tried ordering blood quill feathers from Barlow's Tackle and while they are not kinked as are the...

Alright... I figured out how to pay via credit card so I think I shouldn't need to be a smolt any longer :D

A few years ago a bought a Gopro type video cam. I attached it to my hat and filmed this clip. I later edited it to slow motion:

THERE ARE NO ADVERTISEMENTS if you paid not to see them or not. 😲

I don't know if this function is up and running yet but I'll give it a try. This is a gallery of a variety of my cartoons. As I sometimes reuse them I will only keep them up for a short time.... Here goes: Time to remove access for the entire world. A password is required if you wish...

Looks good to me ! The name is very appropriate considering the wide location of most of the members. (actually, now I'm wondering if a different name that is not limited to a state or region might be a better way to go... when you have members from all over the world, it's unfortunate to...
