Where did you get that hog? Very nice!

I feel like nobody believes me when I say blue is a good color for extreme summer water, which I know is also true for winter! Thanks for showing them!

Haha exactly...still waiting on one!! Ha

But to be honest there is sum decent bank access wher there always have been in downtown along the tracks...

I've only ever fished the willamette where the creek comes out. Pretty good for smallmouth and crappie in summer. Even hear there is/was a winter steelhead run with some trout.
I'll have to google maps it, that lake is on my bucket list.

If u have a kayak I can make it happen..and yes that area by George Rogers is good, I catch em early spawn in there when they dump water from the lake the bass move up to the outlet, hint. Warmer discharge..

That would be awesome, but it's still a bit cold out for me. We should do it when it's warmer. I only have a tandem inflatable kayak and an 18' stillwater canoe. Not saying I can't handle them alone tho!

That's a good tip, i'll have to keep an eye out this spring. I doubt it will be a year to target salmon, so I already decided it's a year for bass and crappie!
