You do know thats been made a kids only pond right? Not sure how old you are , but unless they have opened it, or changed regs , it was 16 and under.

 

[x1hunter89]

nope regs now are open for all closed summer months to kids and disabled vets called yesterday to double check

Mt. Hood Pond (Multnomah Co.) • Angling restricted to youths age 17 and under or holders of one of the Disabled Anglers
permits from April 1-Aug. 31.
its on page 53 i think in the book

you might have missed it by a day

ODFW Trout Stocking Schedule

 

[x1hunter89]

well i only saw 2 get pulled out anyhow im not sure if i even like fishing at that place im sure it will be packed now that the ponds on glisan are closed

Took my son down there once last year after stocking.
Not a nibble. And the water looked awful. It probably doesnt always look like that but on that day, wow!

use a small bobber (about size of a quarter or less - so no drag), about 12-18" of leader off the bobber, small hooks, and Pautzke red eggs - fish down by where the water drains out of the pond. stay on the side nearest the path that goes up across to the ball fields. cast out about 8-10 ft from shore.

we limited in 30 min. - BUT, who's to say that wasn't a day or so after they stocked it?





most were all in the 8-9" range, but the one was about 14".

nice i cant wait till benson is stocked thats my fave

 

[Mister_E]

another 'close' option is Trillium - if you get up there right after the ice-off, the fish are VERY hungry, and there are normally lots of left over brooders patrolling the edges, where the ice has melted away.

you might have to snow-shoe or ATV in, but it can be worth it, too.

Benson is fun, but gets fished out pretty fast.

Blue Lake out in troutdale is pretty decent at times, again - before everyone and their bro-and-sis start having their company picnics. Get out there like this month and early march and you have the lake to yourself. fish down around the fishing doc, and if you have some, throw some jigs around the lilly-pads. there are some DECENT sized largemouth bass in there. Also around the fishing doc, with smaller jigs or bits of worm, you can bring home BUCKETS of blue gill and perch.

mister E thanks yeah i went fishing once at blue lake in troutdale and it was last summer and i hated it but will give it another try

 

[Mister_E]

yeah, you really want to try it BEFORE the summer. also, try the ponds over on Glisan. there are two of them, right down the road from the dog track, on the north side of Glisan. again, get to those early in the year - before all the low-lifes get in there. I think they are called the Salish ponds?

Salish Ponds on Glisan

 

[x1hunter89]

salish i do believe is closed for fishing

 

[Mister_E]

??? when did they do that? you tell I haven't been out fishing lately

seems like my nephew was telling me that he fished there last fall. I'll have to ask him about that.

Sorry for any bad info.

 

[x1hunter89]

oh its cool i think they stopped stocking their for no point to really fish it but im not sure if its strict no fishing and i think they did it at the end of summer
