Dang, I go every year. Thanks TD.

Forgot the pic.

I've been on the inactive list this year but finally got out yesterday. Caught two wild. Looked like seal damage on both.

Unbelievable! Or, are you getting a new one?

I drove down 205 today and spotted one lonely guy fishing at the high rocks.

Way to get things started. I'm thinking about going. 😁

You fill them out immediately if you retain a fish. Not after the game warden asks to see your tag.

The answer is "yes".

We also had some success in the Southwest zone last month. I tagged a Chinook quickly on day one which was also my first on a homemade spoon. My wife was feeling bad about not having anything on her tag and insisted on going the next day. I did not object.

I bank fish both of those plus the Nestucca but usually a bit later. Can't wait!

I don't like to fish in a crowd so I would not go to the hatchery on Alsea. However, it's 50 miles from Alsea to Tidewater so I just drive on until I don't see a car in one of the spots. Fishing Tuesday - Thursday solves a lot of problems.

They don't sell that color here. Looked like it would be good for coho.

I just look at the Willamette Falls counts and the Bennett Dam counts and try to guess when to go. I did go back and got skunked a week later but I think the word got out. There were ,all of a sudden , boats and bank fishermen all over.

Not super impressive but probably the first salmon I have tagged in recent memory, 10 #. I got it off the bank of the main Santiam on September 29 with that pink Steelee. I'd never seen that color but I snagged several at a tackle shop in Ketchikan when I was on a cruise. There was a little...

They had a bunch of Rapala-style big plugs, too, if that's of interest.
