    Another biology question, residualized/landlocked Pacific salmon spawning?

    I just read Green Peter (along with 3 other willamette basin dams) is going to be drawn down this summer to support salmon passage through the bottom of the dam. The "locals" are upset...

    Season opener…. For smash and grab.

    Fished all over the state, all winter, no problems…. First nice weekend of the year and the tweakers are out in full force. They didn’t get anything except an empty Simms bag for my boots and waders. Just annoying, the one time I take my wife’s car too…😕 But hey, at least the coastal cutties...

    Brown trout on the Metolious

    Interesting... I fished Lake Creek in a few spots last summer and thought I had a brookie on a dry, but maybe it was a small brown. I thought I read all the fish passage barriers had been removed on the main stem, so hopefully there isn't more downstream migration, if that is the case.

    FS Fishpond Southfork Wading belt

    Like new Fishpond Southfork Wading belt. Used once. Only selling cause I bought a complete FP hip pack off a member here. The best part about these is that you can keep it snug, up on hips like a wading belt/hip pack should be, but still be able to slide the pack around without having to spin...

    "Siletz Falls" location?

    Hi, so i'm looking at the 2023 NW zone regs and for the Siletz River it says the river and all tribs upstream of Siletz Falls are closed. But, i cant seem to find Siletz Falls on a map. I see a Valsetz Falls quite a ways upstream. Would this just be another name for it? thanks!

    The "How was your weekend?" thread...

    Braved the frigid air, blustery winds, and wader bootie with a dime sized hole in it to catch some coastal cutts on a tiny stream... Even caught an 11" rainbow where there's never been rainbows before, at least not until they removed the last small dam downstream last summer. I was wondering...

    Deschutes Cuttbows?

    Yeah, I’m probably looking too hard at the photo, maybe that’s a wound… But all the other fish I caught today were the very traditional looking redside…

    Deschutes Cuttbows?

    I was fishing the lower Deschutes this weekend, caught a pretty nice rainbow on the nymph rig. Upon further inspection, I noticed a bit of a red marking underneath its jaw. Are there cuttbows in the Deschutes river (Oregon deschutes)? I’m sure it’s not impossible, but you just never hear about...

    Anyone know what this is? Whatever it is, I prefer it over the stink bug invasion we’ve had..
