:dance:It was an awesome day on the river, it was great meeting all the OFFers that was pretty cool, Drifter you have my vote for (catches) of the day.:clap: The first one you caught this morning was one of the better hatchery fighters Ive seen in a while. Rippin line, Jumpin, it was great:yay: hope to run into you guys again. Kirkster

Okay, I too want one of those. Heck, I've never even HAD one of those. Somebody PLEASE send me a PM, lemme know where this place is, and what to use, I want one! I have a tag and whatnot, but too lazy to look, whats the limit on these beautiful things?

 

[Redfox458]

Ok so to answer my own question, I'm allowed 2 steelhead per day, and 5 jacks per day. Awesome. So, here comes a total salmon/steelhead NOOB question.....what the heck are jacks? Somebody please answer my question without making me look like a total idiot....

Pick me...I know!...I know!
A jack salmon are those that follow the run to spawn but have only been in the ocean for a year or so. They are nature's insurance that there are enough fish to fertilize female eggs. If there are many adult bucks in the return the larger fish will bully out the jacks.

Okay, so are they colored similar to regular steelies? Or more like rainbows?

 

[beaverfan]

They don't really look like either they look like a small salmon. Here's a link to a good picture of what Chinook Jacks look like. They will look different than a Rainbow or Steelhead.

Where on the Clack were these caught, I'm new at Steelhead fishing and would love to try and catch one.....or does anyone have advise on where I can go. I live in west linn.

Anybody planning on hitting this hole Tuesday or Wednesday? I just found out I'm off work at 1 on Tuesday, could be out there by 230 or so. Just wanted to see if any OFFers were gonna be down there. I'll be the newbie who looks like he has no idea what he is doing with the super long (9'6") rod. I kind of know what people are using, I'm just going to get inventive and see what I can do. ray:

 

[Fishtopher]

Your rod is fine. Thats what most guys are using. I think. I might be out somewhere near there, or there...

 

[starion87le]

I'm going to try to be out there Tues., evening as well, could see you guys there!

 

[catphish]

It's below faraday lake dam. Easy to find and the hike down isn't to bad at all.

 

[steelhead_stalkers]

Very good job out there! Love to see the chrome!

 

[rookie_drifter]
