    Any pinks yet? Oregon boy has one day to beach fish near Port Angeles

    So I looked at the tide tables and they are rather odd. I've never seen a tide chart like these with no second low tide. There is low in the morning, it comes up in the afternoon...and just keeps going up??!! Thanks a lot Obama!

    Any pinks yet? Oregon boy has one day to beach fish near Port Angeles

    I will be in PA this coming weekend and can carve out one day for a fishing adventure. Last year I fished the Bogey (and got one chinook) but this year I want to try for humpies. Doesn't sound like the millions have really arrived, but I plan to beach fish at Point Wilson or No Point. Since...

    Adding measure marks to rod

    I measure out 18 inches, make a line, then mark it "20" Viola! I catch bigger fish this way

    Full sinking line recommendations?

    I have several Airflo sinking lines and really appreciate the non-stretch. Especially for slow presentation like with a hover line. My type 7 is the best casting fast sink line I have ever owned. Easy to cast, minimal tangles and gets down and stays down. I like 'em!

    Fillet report from Depoe Bay

    My buddy moors his boat at Depoe Bay and takes me and my brother out for rockfish on the fly. The whole experience of being in the ocean and going out thru the narrows at Depoe Bay is a kick. Just like last year, it was foggy, but not too windy, and the seas were manageable. I fished from the...

    What's Catching You Fish?

    Yes, very observant of you. Phil twists the tail maribou into a rope then adds a drop of resin. Watch the end of the Lion's Mane vid. He sez it gives the tail another pivot point...but it also keeps the 'bou fibers together like a skinny nymph tail instead of all waving around seperately. Cheers

    What's Catching You Fish?

    My dry damsel game is weak. I tried one several times to active fish but nada :confused: Agree on the skinny ties and not too big either. For a nymph I like this Phil's Lion's Mane pattern or I combine it with an articulated wiggle tail.

    Bend Oregon / Cascade Lakes area

    Well an early good morning Rick and welcome aboard the board. October is a great time in Central Oregon. Quality 4 lbers is what we are all looking for, but they can be tough to find. Any of the big Cascade Lakes are a possibility and each creates different challenges and opportunites. Pick...

    "Camp Water"

    In my limited experience... If you wade thru someone elses campwater and they are there...ask if it's ok to fish thru. If you are the camper, and you are not currently fishing, you say yes. IMHO, you can't "rest" water from your camp site. You have to be actively fishing or at least idling...

    SFR Reapplication of Sunscreen?

    I too have the Grundens and it is high quality though the model I bought has a slighly awkward face mask design. I go for hoodies with the built in mask with lazer cut holes for breathing. Simms has a good one and I own several AFTCOs that I like too. Wearing the mask, my vulnerable spots are...

    The Cape of Cod

    Today was gurgler action out on Monomoy Rip. Very dynamic challenging conditions, but we saw fish boiling and birds diving. These things are hard to cast in the wind but worth the trouble! Just like Mr. Boot said, the crazy crush of a big striper on the surface is addictive. They go...
