perfect for a New Englander you know.

I live in Oregon now, but used to live 10 minutes from that lake. In the winter, you had to work really hard to get me to drive "all the way" to Pass.

Thank you, Mr. Mitchell, for the great work on the eradication of the guinea worm. I understand that the job is 99.9% done, but the hardest part is the final .1%.

I can remember attending a meeting in Stehekin 30+ years ago on this subject. Three groups of people present: 1. Great - how wonderful! 2. I love hiking and I love the North Cascades, so I don't really want to worry about grizzlies. 3. Hell, we killed 'em all 100+ years ago. Why would we...

I had a decent-size bull take a yellow stimulator on the Methow once. Assuming he took it for a grasshopper.

WOW! Don't know what else to say other than best wishes for a return to full health.

Thanks for all the responses - much appreciated!

Walking along the Willamette River last week, I saw a dead salmon, 16-18" or so; couldn't identify it for sure, but maybe a chinook jack. This was about 10 river miles north of Salem. The water temperature in that area is much better suited for bass, perch, crappie, etc this time of year. Can...

I'm still smiling about hitting a new to me freestone river in Oregon. I'd heard reports of a river with cutts and rainbows which responded well to dry flies. I headed out for a couple days of fishing. I located a FS campground with 15-20 sites that I felt confident would have some empty...

Got to mark that creek down in my Daytimer for 18 months from now.

will check on that and report on what I find.

thanks!

I didn't think of Caddisfly and will check. I do really like the dory idea, so I'm gonna keep looking

Nick, thanks. I probably should have just directed my question to you. Two years ago, I was talking with another person about a trip out of (I think) Lincoln City) with a dory guide. It didn't happen because the other person suffered an injury. I tried mightily to find that guy again...

Does anyone have recommendations for guides for albacore preferably in the mid-north coast Oregon area? I won't be buying a 12 wt, so they'd need to provide equipment. I realize it's an August/September trip, but didn't do well looking online, so thought I'd reach out to the experts.

I finally got around to reading this thread - don't know how I missed it. For me: A trout every month, this would be 10 years in a row if I do that; A trout on a dry every month - achieved in Jan/Feb, so I should be good till November; Bluefin trip; Explore some more of the forks of the...

Bryan, I too am in the club. Joined when I moved to Oregon three years ago, simply because the Salem area where I live is almost devoid of trout fishing opportunities. I echo dbaken's sentiments about cost benefit (I fish about as often as he does). Regarding cost benefit, there are also...

well-fed fish!

Nothing fancy, but same resolution as every year - to catch some salmonids every month of the year. Working on nine straight years. As a friend says, "trout don't live in ugly places", so this gives me an opportunity to be in those beautiful places. The last time I missed the goal was...

Your photos/story made my day - thanks!
