I like it, early Friday fishing sounds good, I just confirmed an upgrade to my weekend fishing pass, I'll head up Thursday late-afternoon...cheers, roger
 
I take it that upgrade is courtesy of the Boss? We'll keep you posted on when we are leaving Thursday sounds like we may not get there till around 6.

great looking fish,

sunrise is for fishing, windy afternoons are for IPA....

has anyone that's been up there recently checked the water temperature?

IPAs and fishing! Surface temp was 69. Fish are still scattered but all caught were typical quality Cranebows.

Just got home from a 3 day camping trip with 2 buddies. Slow Friday and Saturday. Caught a few nice natives we released. Sunday and Monday were pretty good. Hooked a few large bruisers we couldn't keep out of the snags. Caught a lot of rainbows in the 16 to 18 inch range. Half were clipped and are now brining for the smoker :) We managed a couple of 20+ inch keepers. Caught most in the trees. Managed a few from the Quinn channel today.

Thanks Dana. It was nice and hot like bass fishing in Texas. Wish I could make it this coming weekend like planned but my daughters prefer coffee shops, malls, and the beach. I'm gonna try to get out there again this summer when the damsel flies are everywhere in the timber. Fly fishing is a blast there then.
 
Looks like a native fish? Pretty sure you didn't release that one.....

Uh oh, here we go..... Either it's the camera angle or that is an ugly fish :D
 
It clearly has an adipose fin and is dead......
 
Check the regs everywhere you fish in Oregon. Crane Prairie hatchery rainbows are either adipose clipped or left ventricle fin clipped....or both.

I haven't found that yet, at least not in the e-regs. All I see is:

Hatchery fish: For the purpose of these regulations, a hatchery fish is defined as a salmon, steelhead or trout from which the adipose fin has been removed (clipped) leaving a healed scar. Also known as “adipose fin-clipped.”

Oops! That musta been one O' them thar fillet & release feeshes !
 
Well slap me nekkid and hide my clothes! It's not in the regs. Possibly a sign at one of the boat ramps that stated the hatchery fish are adipose fin clipped or left ventricle clipped. I just remember looking it up 2 years ago when half the rainbows we caught were missing the left ventricle fin.

From the e-regs - "Wild Fish: For the purpose of these
regulations, a wild fish is a salmon, steelhead or trout with NO fin clips — adipose or OTHER."
