Ive, I live right next to a forested area and am looking for rodent prevention for my truck. I'm not clear on what you mean by "I hung a bright LED light over the hood of the truck . . .." Thanks. Cheers, Bryan

I have the 20hp Tohatsu EFI with electric start and power tilt. The electric start is nice, but not critical. But, the power tilt is critical. So, I have them both. I also have the long shaft for my deep transom Klamath modified v-hull aluminum boat. The Tohatsu weighs 118 lbs. I use a...

Yep, it's the "No Regrets" policy. Cheers,

Mandatory in my boat. If you want to be in the boat, you must wear a PFD.

Does that father/son combo live in Southern Oregon? Cheers,

Having zero experience fishing for Chinook with a fly rod, I don't know the advantages/disadvantages of single vs. two handed, but in my research on rod selection, more than once I heard or read something from Jay saying how he likes using a two handed rod. He, of course, also says that he...

This year the lake level is good, but Hebgen has suffered very low levels for the past 2 or 3 years. Those low levels may have affected the bug habitat and the bugs. Don't know. Cheers,

I'm sure this has been addressed previously, but thought I'd get an update. What fly rods are folks recommending/using for Chinook fishing? Some recommendations I've read are for a 9wt or 10wt 9' single hand. Others, including Jay Nicholas, like using a Spey rod because of their length and...

Phil, Thanks. PM sent. Cheers, Bryan

EBT, Thank you for your reply and offer. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers, Bryan

dbaken, Thank you for your reply and your offer to take me as a guest. I will follow-up with a PM. Cheers, Bryan

My wife and I are considering joining the Oregon Fishing Club. Almost did it a number of years ago, but didn't. I'd appreciate any insights from current or recently-current members. PMs welcome. Thank you. Cheers, Bryan

I have a Leelock on both the bow and stern of my 15' modified-v aluminum, with a 25 lb 3-sided pyramid on each. Obviously more anchor than you need, but I sure love those Leelocks.

Thanks for everyone's input. I'm in discussions with both of the B.C. companies. Their systems are basically the same, with some differences. I'll be getting a new pickup truck and canopy, so part of the equation is not only matching their Rear Loaders with my boat, but also with the truck...

Yep, that's the company in Clackamas. I've not checked recently, but last time I did about a year or so ago, they didn't respond to phone calls or e-mails. Someone told me the owner/founder had retired, but that may be totally wrong. Cheers, Bryan

I've seen them in Canada multiple times, but rarely in the U.S. Anyone have any experience with a motorized auto loading Rear Boat Loader as shown in these pictures? Note: These are made by two different companies in British Columbia. There was a company in Portland that made these, but I...

I checked in with NOAA/NDBC a couple weeks ago to get an update on the App they're working on. Here is their reply: "We're working on that! We are overhauling our website at the moment to allow for better mobile viewing as well as working on syncing our data to an app that is currently in...

Thanks for your reply. Yep, that South Jetty is in the right location, but, as you say, would be a challenging place to land a hot salmon on the fly. I'm going to give the lower Bay a try with flies from my boat. I'll report back. Cheers, Bryan

I realize it may not be the optimal technique, but has anyone been fly fishing for Salmon in the lower Nehalem Bay (e.g. from Fishery Point to the jetty entrance) during the Summer Chinook Run or the early Fall Runs (Chinook and Coho)? On the incoming tides, lots of salt water gets pushed...

Evan, Thanks. She arrives late Saturday nite and we're planning to head down to the Coast on Sunday morning. If you think you'll be going out before then and may have a few "extras", I'd be happy to rendezvous with you. And to others who responded with suggestions, thank you. Cheers, Bryan
