I'm pretty sure that is an Atlantic Salmon Sculpin.....

Geez.... I had no idea about the great pacific salmon name wars... In these parts we all call the big ol' salmon Chinooks or Kings -- no one seems to get in an uproar about it one way or the other. The smaller, steelhead size, pacific salmon we call silvers or coho and again, no one I've...

As mentioned above, just about any river or stream that flows into the Pacific can hold some manner of anadromous fish ... at the very least, sea-run cutthroat. All the rivers around Tillamook can be good (depending on river conditions). Plus the Alsea and Siuslaw rivers and those in between.

As if the native anadromous species don't have enough problems making their way upstream in the Columbia, now the non-native shad are causing problems. https://www.opb.org/article/2024/08/24/american-shad-lower-granite-dam/

One fawn is asking the other if "mom is trying to kill us?"

I've heard many stories of rattlers attempting to board floating craft on The D so it isn't that rare. The snakes probably see the boats as a nice place to stop and rest. While fishing, I too have seen deer swim across lakes and rivers. Considering they have such thin legs and small hoofs...

I'd say that is the case .....

I met my best fishing buddies and friends when a fly shop opened in town and spawned a fly club. I started hanging around club members and 40 years later, I think and number of them they made the cut for fishing buddies and "fish holders" for my article photos. Other fishing friends I met...

I didn't expect the Beavs to win. I just don't know how they get entice any good players for next year. ....😵‍💫

I was shocked when the Beavs beat the Cougs. Overall, however, WSU did fare best in the Pac 2. This may have been because WSU didn't seem to have as many players jump ship as did OSU ... including the coach. I don't know how they can recruit good players when they are playing with a...

I had a 1965 red Mustang convertible so I'll look for the AD. I had to sell the car because a convertible was not the best vehicle to drive around in the snow and ice of La Grande during the winter. The roof would freeze and as it thawed out it rained on us inside the car.

I remember the original neoprene waders that were unlined. You had sit on the ground and roll them on. Not very convenient so they were quickly replaced with lined models ... but even then they were not nearly as easy to put on as is breathables with a zipper. My wife and I still have...

That's seems to be the rule of thumb. I know on the Deschutes the whitefish prefer the slower water than the redsides.

Guess we can always go back to neoprene ....

Back when there was a ton of salmon in the rivers, I liked November. Chum fishing in the Tillamook rivers and coho fishing on the Siletz was a blast ! However, there are no longer a ton of salmon in the rivers and I gave up searching for them years and years ago. So now, I'm also not much...

During my steelheading days, I usually fished with someone who was more than happy to take a hatchery steelhead home. In the rare times I fished alone, if I caught a hatchery job I'd usually keep it because I knew lots of folks who would take it off my hands. I figure I paid for the fish...

This sounds familiar. They've always said she could blow again at any time ....

I believe this question was asked in the past but my best producing WB is still what I call The Chestnut: Gold bead head Gold wire rib Black marabou tail Variegated olive/black chenille body Black hackle feather

If they did get two more "State" universities, they could call the conference the Pac- State
