What about steelhead and salmon fishing? Isn’t that pretty much your go to fishing boat?

Dude, last year was a good year for steelheading around here. I went 7 for 18 for the year. Horrible numbers. 1 for 4 isn’t that bad, you can make up for that real quick

It’s been a rough year with all this cold weather and low water in my local river. Winter steelhead is when I really get out and fish, usually 20 times a year or so. Only been out about five times this year. I hooked and lost one in January. Had a pretty good three days after the last rains a...

Definitely not a rainbow, maybe a hybrid. i’ve caught tons of cutties on the McKenzie and I would say cutthroat

Love it!

Thanks troutdude, you da man! Where would this forum be without you

Sorry to hijack the salmon thread, but I didn’t think this was worthy of a new thread. Still looking for my first Umpqua springer, hopefully I will be posting in this thread soon. Mac looking good

Thanks for the input guys. Definitely was not a striper or a shad, caught quite a few of those (shad). It wasn’t as round as the fish above and more streamlined, at first I thought it was a nook jack. Man, I wish we got a picture of it. My buddy thought it was an Umpqua chub, but those average 3...

My bad, misinterpreted that one

Is that supposed to be funny? Or just a dumb 3:52 AM post

I read about that when it happened, I’m glad they caught the guy. This absolutely disgusts me, some people should just not walk this earth. He was either a complete idiot, or anti-hatchery. Either way this is so uncool.

That’s a super cool sticker!

That was a hilarious video! Too bad you couldn’t find it but at least you found a picture. Nice detective work.
