[sothereiwas]

Rogue below Grants Pass

[garyk]

Try this river.

Here's a hint: it's south of Bend, west of the Trout Creek Mtns and east of the Siskiyou's.

http://www.ifish.net/gallery/data/500/medium/S_Central_river.jpg

[trout_bum]

Wow, not sure. Looks like a great place to fish for trout! Let me get back at you later witha guess!

[OutdoorBum]

Tumalo Creek?

[Greg516]

Yeah, Griffin Park on the Rogue

Nope... Nearly... Its at Matson Park

[OutdoorBum]

Nope... Nearly... Its at Matson Park


Hah! You bugger! I guess if I looked closely I'd see the road on the opposite bank. Last time I went through there it was a busy place with bankies on both sides.

[trout_bum]

Here's one:

It's between Sisters on the east and Springfield on the west:D

Negatory, good buddy.

Remember, I said it was a river.

[garyk]

I'm going with Silver Creek below Thompson reservoir.

Great guess.....and your knowledge of obscure waters is kinda awesome, but wrongo!

[garyk]

OK, my first pic was a tough one. This is much easier. So EASY that it's not enough to guess which Oregon river this is...tell us where this special spot is located on that river.

http://www.ifish.net/gallery/data/500/medium/S_Central_river.jpg

The Little Deschutes?

[blackdog]

I'm guessing Cheywacan :shrug:

[garyk]

Good attempts...but no neither the Deschutes or Chewacan river.

[OutdoorBum]

Try this river.

Sycan

[Turnerjo13]

Small, shallow and crystal clear. could it be the fall river?

[garyk]

Sycan

A WINNER!

Yes, it's the upper Sycan.

[Two Fister]

Dang it. I coulda been a contenda...I coulda been somebody!!!

Love that river. Some surprisingly big fish hiding in those deep hidey holes.

[Mad Mikey]

These threads are always fun. This one was on here once before but it's been so long I think most folks have forgot. If ya' already know it from the last thread let the new guys have a crack at it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/MikeCowdrey/where.jpg

Klamath or Agency (same difference)

[Mad Mikey]

North Fork of the John Day River, up toward the wilderness?

Nope.

[garyk]

Klamath or Agency (same difference)

A winner!

Yup, upper Klamath Lake just below Rocky Point Resort. Largest gathering of big (7# and up) trout I've ever seen, anywhere's. Unfortunately the catching part was way, way off.

[Greg516]

A harder one for you guys....

[Z. Kodaly]

A WINNER!

Yes, it's the upper Sycan.

Interestingly enough, I fished the upper Sycan in the Pike's Crossing area last weekend and it was a disgusting morass of crumbled banks, water tinged brown by cow poop, and cattle wallowing around in this "Wild and Scenic" river. Not a fish of consequence to be seen.

The photo musta been from way, way up. Pike's Crossing
is pretty far up at that.

[Mad Mikey]

Minam?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/MikeCowdrey/where.jpg

Hint, it's not in Oregon and this is probably a dead give away. Just wanted to make it easier since this thread is winding down.:cool:

[Greg516]

It is a coastal stream

[kigercreek]

Extra Credit for this one! :wink:

[Greg516]

Tillamook bay

Nope.

[konakid]

what part of the coast?

[Greg516]

Oregon south or central

[24 on/ 48 off]

Umqua?

[garyk]

I'm off for some Kootenay cutthroat but I'll leave you with one more pic to identify:

Here's another Oregon Lake notable for flyfishing. I'll narrow it down, let's call it south central Oregon. The view is from roughly the north looking SW.

--spud--:)

This picture is taken on the Grande Ronde approximately 2 miles down from where Shumaker grade dumps in. There is a fire pit to your left with a metal grate on it, that is almost eroded off the river bank from high water, but its a heck of a nice campspot. There is also 4 nice smallmouth and a few "rainbows" in that picture underneith the surface of the water but you have to be looking at your computer screen with polarized glasses to see them. Across the river is another nice campspot where you don't have to worry about the Asotin County locals dowsing out your fire at 10 pm at night for fear that might "light the place up".....don't ask how I know this. :meme:

[Steelbum]

Here's one:

It's between Sisters on the east and Springfield on the west:D

http://www.mckenzieriverflyfishing.com/BentRodClient_MG_withNetPA290078_smaller.jpg

The creepy thing here is I am the one that took that pic and its not between Sisters and Springfield. Keep trying.

[kigercreek]

upper Willamette?

[Greg516]

McKenzie River

[AndyK]

I made a trip to Eastern Oregon a week ago with my daughter. We traveled along this river and I saw several large Bull trout in this river(although the river is closed to fishing for them).

http://karamanos.us/Fishing/Maps/mystery1.jpg

[kigercreek]

North Fork of the Malheur...or North Fork of the John Day....???

[AndyK]

North Fork of the Malheur...or North Fork of the John Day....???
Nope

[Mad Mikey]

I should know this. Upper Imnaha 1st choice, possibly the Lostine but looks too wide for that high up.

[AndyK]

[BrianMaguire]

White river? Man that looks like a lot of places I go.

Yes it is.

[Mad Mikey]

That one threw me for a bit. I thought it might be the Wenaha, in a place I hadn't been, except the ridgeline was way too low if it were the WA side.

Also thought it might be a spot on the upper Imnaha but it just didn't connect, ridgeline too low, vegetation wrong.

What I noticed was the green in the water, we don't get that in NEO very much and the gradient was fast.

Looks like high desert on top, was that the bridge crossing just South of Wamic?

[BrianMaguire]

.

No its up river quite a bit, in the transition zone to the forest. Its a 500 ft drop in a 100 yards or so, quite steep. Not a fish in it though.

Should be pretty easy

http://www.ifish.net/gallery/data/500/medium/SDC10026.JPG

[Mad Mikey]

Sandy, taken from the East bank, upper end of the Girlscout hole. It's been so long since I've fished that thing, might even be Dodge. But I think I remember a cliff at that hole.

[SImudBogger]

right below garbage hole. it's the only picture i have on my new camera

[El Wapo]

Winchuck?

El Wapo.. Someone already got it.

[mkwerx]

I've got 2 rivers for ya'll to guess... they're actually more like "creeks" not rivers. its all flowing water though, so it's all good :D

First one: This is somewhere in the PDX metro area...

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/851/im002173jr3.jpg


Second one: This is in the Santiam forest north of HWY 22 and east of I-5...

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2010/funbags036ip0.jpg

[Mad Mikey]

That's Spring runoff between the Armpit Hole and Sandbag hole on the Sandy. No clue about your creek though....

[mkwerx]

The santiam forest is East of I 5. Is this a trick question?


My bad, directional brain toot. it IS East of I-5. Still north of 22 though :D So, any guesses as to the stream?

[Newbs]

I'll say it's the head water of Abaqua Creek... Just a wild guess.

[mkwerx]

I'll say it's the head water of Abaqua Creek... Just a wild guess.



you're close - but it's not Abaqua. Same general area though...

[Mad Mikey]

We cross posted earlier, was the first one Eagle Cr. in high water? If not, Clear creek. After that, I'm stumped.

[Newbs]

Beaver Crk. Another wild guess...

[mkwerx]

Mad Mikey and Newbs - neither have guessed correctly yet...

[Mad Mikey]

This is a CREEK, right?

[mkwerx]

This is a CREEK, right?


yes, it is a creek. Since everyone is having a hard time on that one - think west-side of the metro area.

[Newbs]

Okay...this is my last shot at the small one. It's got to be either Butte Creek or Silver Creeek... I'll say it's Butte Creek.

[24 on/ 48 off]

Fanno.

[mkwerx]

Okay...this is my last shot at the small one. It's got to be either Butte Creek or Silver Creeek... I'll say it's Butte Creek.

Butte Creek is correct.

[Newbs]

Butte Creek is correct.
WOOOHOOO...What do I win?

gales creek?

[mkwerx]

Mikey and Bogger - still haven't guessed it yet... :D I'll make it as easy as I can w/o just spitting it out yet - it's somewhere in Washington County, in a semi-urban setting.

[Mad Mikey]

Rock?

[mkwerx]

Rock?

Yes. Now for the $64,000 dollar question - where on Rock Creek is this pic taken?

[Newbs]

Yes. Now for the $64,000 dollar question - where on Rock Creek is this pic taken?

How come his question is worth $64,000.00 and all I got was the "admiration of my fellow Ifshers"....

This is just not right.

[kigercreek]

Must be part of some bailout $$ package ;)

Good grief it's been over four years since I lived over there. I'm gonna' guess that pik was taken somewhere in the Aloha vicinity.

From the bridge on 185th or 194th(second choice)

[Greg516]

Which pic are we talking about.. Im soooo CONFUSED!!! lol

Immaputyaouttayermisery -- This pic was taken @ the outlet of the USA treatment plant in Hillsboro. They discharge their allegedly clean water straight into the creek via a pipe, which aparently shoots water vertically from the bottom. The effect is that you've got a giant bubbly jet of water year-round blasting upward causing much turmoil and creating all sorts of oddball, ever changing currents. The fish seem to love hanging out there though - the water is more or less a constant temperature, food organisms get swept up in the currents (lots of eddies and back-currents). The surface bubbling (the worst of which is not seen here) provides cover from overhead predators. This is some very difficult water to fish. I've used every legal method and nothing works any better than the other. I've toyed with the idea of getting a small boat and floating up from the Tualatin inlet to get a different angle, because there's some wonderfully deep water and ledges up and downstream of this thing - have caught some quite impressive smallmouth bass, the odd *********, yellow perch, and a few nice trout from that area. Have also hooked (hooked) some nice carp. They weren't having any of this landing nonsense - not with 4lb tippets. Bank fishing this stretch is very difficult because you either fish from atop the hill, some 20 feet above the water, or you very carefully slide about halfway down the hill at one point (which is more like a dirt cliff, same severe drop) and fish on what passes for a ledge in the dirt. Either way, I've never had the cajones to try to make it to the water level, because the dirt is soft enough on this hillside that it tends to just crumble beneath you, making the climb back up difficult at best. I'm not sure exactly how deep the water is here - you can't see bottom even on a sunny day standing atop the hill - and with the wacky currents the way they are - I don't really feel like taking a swim there...but there's some nice fishing around that upflow. It's like a spring on steroids.
