Along with the remaining run of Chinook still in the Tillamook system, Steelhead have now started to come in.  The numbers are not huge by any means but they are being caught.  Over the last week there have been about a dozen or so fish caught.  Again that is along with some Chinook that are still present.  What a great time to be out fishing!  Bring a rod of each and spend the day on the Wilson River.  I've heard the Nestucca has been producing Steelhead as well.

All for now...report more as I hear.

Facebook Addition
2011.11.29 07:04:32

I have added a new addition to the site.  Facebook.  I'm hoping to combine the site and Facebook together as a better way to get people involved and into what we do.

 Along with the site here, we are still in baby steps with the Facebook account but look forward to making friends with everyone possible.

I plan to continue posting the reports and blogs here but instead of pics here on the site I'm going to be posting those on Facebook as it's much much easier to accomplish.

Please feel free to check us out and look forward to making new friends!

Willamette River Springers
2010.04.25 22:28:26

Yesterday I had yet another chance to hit the Willamette for some Springer action.  We had a great day, getting 7 hook ups and 4 to the boat.

All hatchery fish bright as bright as could be!  One of which tipped 30 lbs!  Biggest springer I have ever seen.  *(I know they come bigger, but for me that was a treat).

We started fishing at 0 dark 30, and fished til about 3 pm.  not a bad days work...  Wink

Well, planning on going out again on Tuesday, more reports & blogs to come.

 

Happy fishing!

Willamette River Springers
2010.04.20 21:19:23

Saturday I had a chance to fish the Willamette for some springers.  Overall, it was a slow day, but we did see about 16 fish caught.  2 of which were in our boat.  I got one really nice native and the guy I was fishing with caught an even nicer hatchery fish.  Both fish were bright and feisty.  Mine weighed in around 12 to 14 lbs while the hatchery fish came in around 15.

I was using prawns, while the other guy was using herring.  Both of which bought from BC Angling in Gladstone.

While talking to another guy on the river, he mentioned that they had opened the dam.  Thus the reason so much junk was coming down river and the water flow seemed a bit fast.

He had mentioned that before the dam had opened, they were catching 30+ fish a day out of the spot.  I'm guessing this week as they shut the dam back down and things clear up it should fire back up.

We had marked many fish on the fish finder, so I know they're in.  Just a matter of getting things cleared back up and getting the bite turned back on.

All for now, plan to go back out either Friday or Saturday.  Will post again this weekend.
