I guess my experience there was bad. I have fished there a couple times and just didn't like it. I guess all those people fishing there just frees up more river for me. Good job on banking one today. Wish I could say the same. I'm littarally drifting a spot up river as I type and so far no luck...
I don't really see how flossing is any better than snagging, and i'ld still prefer to have some space. You could put a hundred guys with poles anywhere on the river and that spot will probably produce fish. That's not really the point of fishing in my opinion. I think it's as much about relaxing...
The fish are in there. I think you just have to put in your time. I've fished four days this week and caught two fish. I think it's like the the lottery, you can't win if you don't play. The odds are probably better with fishing though.
I can't help but laugh every time I drive past the bowling ally in Gladstone. There are about fifty people there at any given time snagging fish and other peoples line while the mouth seems to be nearly deserted and just as productive. I hooked a nice coho minus one fin yesterday right next to...
I prefer my fly rod but have tried every set up I could put together. I fish mostly the clackamas and eagle creek and have done well with other species. I also fish lakes all over Oregon. I would like to try from a boat but my little pantoon boat gets very cold this time of year.
I have been try to catch winter steelhead for a few years now and I'm starting to think they don't actually exist. I have caught them in the summer but I can't seem to find the right hole at the right time. Any advice would be much appriciated.
