Steelhead in Junction City Pond

[rainbowfisherman]

if going for steelhead i would say
crappie jigs

 

[rainbowfisherman]

is there still plenty of steelhead in there.

 

[OutforTrout]

Great idea. Keeping those on the bottom? Never been to the lake before.

 

[rainbowfisherman]

under a bobber maybe but dont give me credit it was all gramps and people at the pond

 

[Gramps]

Steelhead are getting scarce at JCP. There still brooders in there. Getting them to hit is another story. Jig don't seem to work on them. Last 2 days its been power bait or worms. Spinners and spoons also worked early in the week.

Good Luck

 

[OutforTrout]

You're the best, gramps. Hit many trout out there?

 

[Fish Dawgs]

Do you think it's worth making the trip from the Salem area with a coils of friends?

 

[Gramps]

I caught a brooder on a worm with a green corky, about a foot of leader yesterday, but took all day. I tried worm on bottom, power bait, kastermaster, was there 9 hours before I got a hit. Only saw 2 caught all day and 2 others lost. All were on power bait or worm.

 

[Fish Dawgs]

Ok thanks.
When is the next time jcp is getting stocked?

 

[Gramps]

Ok thanks.
When is the next time jcp is getting stocked?

Next stocking of brooders should be Monday afternoon, 1/5.

I did go out today and caught 1 steelhead, saw 2 other steelhead and 2 brooders caught before I left at 2pm

 

[Fish Dawgs]

Do you know how big those brooders that are getting stocked?

 

[Gramps]

Do you know how big those brooders that are getting stocked?

About 6 to 15 lbs

 

[Gramps]

Just talked to Roaring River Hatchery and they said no stocking of brooders this week. They said stocking will occur next week.

 

[rainbowfisherman]

So when exactly
Tomorrow

 

[Gramps]

I can only guess. Most likely between noon and 6pm. I will post tomorrow evening if and when they were planted. You can call Roaring River Hatchery (503) 394-2496 after 8am tomorrow, they might tell you where and when. Or call (971) 673-6000 and talk to a live person, they can tell you AFTER they have been stocked

 

[Fish Dawgs]

have you heared anything about the 09 stocking schedual?

 

[rainbowfisherman]

called the oregon fish and wildlife and they can't tell me exact dates.
How can i find that out.

 

[Fish Dawgs]

calling is the only way i would know how to find that info out

 

[rainbowfisherman]

well i tried the number on the bottom of the stocking schedule but it didn't work.
Now that is NOT the 541 #

JCP was stocked yesterday 1/13 with about 100 brooders. And they were hitting good on lures and fly's.
