Got a GLoomis GL2 8'6" 8-17lb for drifting and tossing out spinners and spoons. Replaced my old one that got stolen out of my garage about 2 years ago. Since September I've been using an 8'6" Berkley IM8 but broke it on my last fish. Decided to go back to a Loomis since I missed my old one so much.
On another note my friend fished the Sandy and talked to a fish counter the other day. He said there have been higher counts on the Clackamas than Sandy the last 2 weeks. I think I'm gonna try Riverside at sunrise when I get off work on wednesday morning until the boats start launching. I'll probably hike in from Bonnie Lure down Eagle Creek after that.

Thanks guys! I switched tactics and location, needed some different scenery. Ramrod was killing em so I had to give cross another try. I've been happy with the white clown head jig, pink spotted, then threading on a bubble gum pink Berkly worm. I cut them off above the fat part of the worm and thread it on the jig hook so that it hangs strait. I had to try drift fishing because so many people I've talked to were having good success with it. I'm throwing an inch and a quarter of small pencil lead on a slider swivel above a small bead. 2' or less of 10 lb izorline leader and a yarnie. In the crazy high water we had last week, and dirty, I got one on a pink and peach. It was thumbnail sized, and a #4 owner hook. On Sunday I used a quarter sized pink and chartruse yarnie. With the water conditions it should have worked just the opposite, but I'm not complaining! I've picked up two on the worm set up, and 2 drift fishing, but I've put a lot less time in on the drifting gear and produced two fish in 3 outings right off the bat. So for right now I'm pretty hooked on drifting, but I need to learn, and be ready to use both strategies effectively. Last night I took only drifting gear, and found some water that was screaming for a bobber setup. So I'm looking to find a good way to pack both rigs. Good luck fellas

So Tony, I'm confused. I run into you today, decide to meander a little further down the river and you tell me, "Don't come back without a fish."
So, I do just that...go down, catch a summer and then you give the one-finger salute when I come back? I did exactly what you told me to do!

How low are you guys fishing? I tried Mciver with no luck. Had some bobber downs yesterday but wouldn't stick on a pink worm. Tried the same spot with a micro jig and got a small trout. About the only action I saw. Wanted to try cross park but ran out of time. I'm probably gonna try Riverside when I get off work around sunrise. Then move up or down from there.

I've heard of fish being caught from McIver, all the way down. Though I've been fishing lower, so you should do well from Barton and below.
