Bass and Shad on the Umpqua

[Tom E]

I'd like to take my daughter fishing on the Umpqua for Bass and Shad. I have a small jet boat, 16ft, and would like to know where the best access is to catch some fish. Thanks to all who respond.

Thanks for the reply. We went today to Scottsburg. Lost count after 30 fish. We were on the water from 1:PM to 4:30PM. My daughter actually got bored she caught so many. I loved it. Where is James Woods and Osprey. I'd like to try them as well.
