Well any reports from Simpson , TT says we need to fish it. Only had one bass hook up on the river trip yesterday bout a 3 lber lost it right at the bank nice fish considering the pond was the size of my back yard . Caught more trout and can't lie smolt than ive ever caught in my life .All but a couple were released unharmed though, we literally caught fish the entire drift. posted a couple pics in the trout section

You need some trailer hooks. Were you using poppers or buzzbaits by chance?

Ive got some of those wacky hooks, had to order them from cabelas. I have seem some Eagle Claws in Bi-mart that were similar and could be used.

Lets see.......
Bassin- I got the first two on a wacky rigged watermelon/red sparkle big senko, then snagged and lost the hook. Got one of a slow crawled jitterbug in baby bass, and the last three were on a weightless Texas rig brush hog. One on watermelon red flake and the other two on June bug. Found you gotta let her sink to a three count and then get a quick retrieve to keep it outta the slime. They seem to be bedding in pockets of the foot tall layer of slime and then coming out after the worm as it passes over. one broke out like it was hitting a popper!
Chuck- I've tried the one from eagle claw but they don't seem to give me the same action as the modified Siwash does. Where else around here sells bass gear besides the marts(bi & wal)?
Graphite- Thornton is private and haven't tried waverly or timber-linn yet. First and second are mostly the same (connected by a hundred foot long channel) and haven't made it up to the third one in the simpson chain yet but gonna try tommorrow after work. And the wonderful Freeway Lakes...........EWWWWW! I keep findin new water to play on the more i look!

hmmm... maybe try M2 outdoors sports in Lebanon. They have a pretty small fishing section but claim to specialize in bass gear. To me it just looked like 5 different brands of senko's... they have a website and facebook page, you might ask them and save the drive. The only other hope is in salem at Wholesale outfitters or Dicks.
