A New Life for Willamette River Springers
Not exactly a banner year for Willamette River Springers, but the perfect antidote for bad fishing is often supplied by mother nature. The cool temperatures that we’ve experienced in the PNW for the last couple weeks have cooled water tempertures to the point where the fishery is back and could I say- better than ever? […]
Tillamook Bay Spring Chinook
It’s that time again and am excited to get on some of these coastal bruisers. I did a post today with pictures over at FISHWIRE.net on the most recent fishing that you might want to check out. Tillamook Bay Spring Chinook fishing is just getting going and after a lackluster Spring Chinook season on the […]
Fish moving up!
After several days of herring fishing, the reports of fish moving up the river have gotten good enough to venture up there. It’s a different fishery altogether from what we were doing in downtown Portland, but different is good sometimes, especially when it means more fish! When you start fishing the West Linn/ Oregon City […]
Willamette Springers Roll On
It’s a very busy time of year and I struggle to blog all the time. Between my trips, bait, errands, phone calls, emails, being a husband, daddy etc. I get behind at times with the updates. Fishing has been very decent the last several days since moving into the Willamette from the Columbia. Have I […]
Pray for rain?
Yes I said it. I’d like you all to pray for rain. No, I haven’t lost my marbles. I’m of perfect, well, somewhat perfect mind and I’d really like to go steelhead fishing. This years winter has, to this point, put the dampers on much of the steelhead fishing that we could have experienced by […]
The move to Shimano, G. Loomis, Power Pro
In the last few days I’ve completed a move to a group of companies that I have long admired and only hoped to one day join. Shimano, G. Loomis and PowerPro stand at the peak of their respective categories and I believe my customers will be the recipients of many of the relationships benefits. Shimano […]
Wilson River Steelhead Fishing- January 27, 2013
Success while Wilson River Steelhead Fishing This past few days, a combination of river levels and the time of year is starting to make for some pretty decent steelhead fishing on the Wilson River. The low pressure moved in on Friday and dropped a little precipitation. The graph didn’t show the river doing much of […]
First Willamette River Springer Caught
Bill Monroe of the Oregonian has about the best pulse on early fishing Spring Chinook fishing as anyone I know. He’s been covering NW fishing and hunting for the Oregonian for a real long time and to boot, he’s a regular at one of the great early season producers on the Willamette. It’s common place […]
Cold and Clear, No Problem
These past couple weeks have been rather trying as we’re in between the arrival of some of the early run fish and the big return of Native Broodstock and Native Steelhead that February and March is so famous for. Many just quite fishing, but we actually enjoyed some pretty decent fishing on the South Fork […]
Christmas Time Steelhead
I’ve been doing some Christmas time steelhead fishing the last couple days. I guess you could say it was time to shake the cobwebs a bit. Typically I take a couple weeks off after a marathon year of incredible fishing. You know a guy has to rest every now and then, but not very long […]
