:grin:

[wiser]

Confirming.... Will bring 100 large SOLV garbage bags, litter pickers, 5 gal buckets. May bring wife and 2 grandkids.What about Pilar and Nuttinbutnet and a couple others who sent in responses earlier. Did anyone contact papers or Clackamas River Watershed Council?

[Pilar]

Wow, the day came up quick. OK, I'll be there with a box of proctology gloves, raingear, fishin po and an extra set of hands or two.

Can someone tell me where the Carver Cafe is?

[birdhunter]

The Carver Cafe is on the N. side of the river, on the East side of Carver. From 205: take 212 and go down it for a few miles. At the light by the Farmer's Market, turn right onto 224 towards Estacada, when you get to Carver don't go over the bridge. Instead follow the road to the left. Carver Cafe is at the end of the straight away on the left. Can't miss it.

I'll be there Mofish, but it might not be till 9. Okay to call you on your cell when you're out there and just meet you guys somewhere? That or give me an area to go to, and I'll work on it. I've already got my gloves, bags, etc. Thanks for setting this up!

[Pilar]

That explains it. I never get on 224 before Amisegger or Rock creek. Guess that comes from living in Damascus for so long...

[FishinFinatic]

Just for you info, the so called farmers market there at the light on 224, has closed down, so just an empty building there now. There should be signs though that say estacada.

Tell me about what this event is. I'm new on here and might be interested. thanks. Mike

[dogfishboy]

Sounds good to me Mofish.
Hey Wiser?, I emailed Todd that my workplace would doante a case of 40 gal trashliners to the cause...do you think we still need them? I'm sure yours will be a lot stronger than mine. Also, I'll bring a couple litter pickers - :tongue: JL :wink: - and buckets.

Hey Pilar, those gloves are NEW and not recycled from your doctor's office right. :shocked: :grin:

[Drachir]

Sorry to say but you're going to have to scratch me and the wife for Sat. Looks like I will be working that day instead. I think I'd rather make a couple hundred bucks, rather than clean up the creek banks. You All Have Fun Though!!! :cool:

[BigSpinner]

I think I can make it but I dont want anybody waiting on me or anything. I have a 60% chance of showing up, I really want to help out and meet some really cool people. I have never been to eagle creek but I can make it I think.

Jeremy

[blacktail]

I'll be there. 7:30am at Carver cafe. Are we going to plan what area we are going to clean beforehand, or that morning when we get there.

Mike

[Artwo]

I'll be there as well, probably a little early for some breakfast.........anybody want to join me. Does anybody know what time the cafe opens ?

Thanks,
JK

PS, Blacktail....I got your e-mail but haven't had a chance to get back to you, see you Saturday.

[wiser]

I'll try to be there early too. Need that breakfast. My favorite meal out. I don't know what time the place opens but hope it's early. Dogfishboy, go ahead and bring your garbage bags too, you never know if they might be needed. We can keep them for the next ifish cleanup if they aren't needed that day. Hope you can make it BigSpinner.
We all have plenty of opportunity to enjoy our natural resources, one way or another. These easy and potentially fun opportunities to give back are really few and far between. I hope others will join this effort.

[ 01-29-2002: Message edited by: Wiser? ]</p>

[birdhunter]

Artwo makes a good point. Will someone check to see what time the Cafe opens? It was always closed when I drove by in the am to go duck hunting. Wouldn't want to show up at 7 and not have anywhere to eat. Thanks.

[BigSpinner]

Hey artwo and wiser what time are you guys getting there. Do you guys mind if this young buck grabs a bite to eat with you guys before the clean up. I will be there if I can find it. I can find it.

Jeremy,

[wiser]

I'll be there 6:30 or at opening, whichever is earlier. Big, you're welcome to join me. I'm really not that old. Six grown kids and nine grandkids generally say otherwise but I sure don't think old. I'll be wearing a Willie Cap and you may have to sit next to one of the grandkids but I'm sure you'll fit in like big brother.

[blacktail]

If they aren't open early enough, those of us that want to meet for breakfast should meet somewhere else earlier.

Mike

[BigSpinner]

well I am only 19 years old. And will be wearing an oregon ducks hat. I love to fish have been doing it from a very young age. And just want to meet some other fishermen and help out a river in need at the same time. Sorry about the old thing.


Jeremy,

[Phish_on]

You guys ROCK - you are super-heroes!

I have an all-day Boy Scout event on Mt. Hood, or I would come out also - I haven't fished Eagle Creek in at least 15 years, it sounds like a nightmare to me.

Keep up the fantastic work, you are AWESOME. Someone should tip off a TV station or two ... hmmmmm ...

[Pilar]

FishinFinatic, welcome to fish heaven. You can only get here through regular church attendance, see also 'Church of the bent rod'.

Mofish and others have instigated a cleanup effort on the Clackamas, Eagle Creek this Saturday Feb 2. This is a volunteer effort by a few Ifish members in response to the garbage left by some less concerned fishers, probly snaggers to boot.

Although picking up trash is something alot of us do in the process of stream walking and fishing, it is more fun to have a group effort. Also there is the effect of the group on the inconsiderates who may witness the effort and maybe pocket that *****ie wrapper or used syringe next time.

edit::: for pete's sake t.w.i.n.k.i.e. is a bad word?

Y'ont to?

Meet us at the Carver Cafe on 224 at 0700 on Feb 2. E-mail Mofish or myself for details.

Thanks MoFish for your concern and cleanup instigation.

[ 01-29-2002: Message edited by: Pilar ]</p>

[Bounty Hunter]

Since it looks like we can't fish ahead of time, I'd like to be there for breakfast too. If someone finds out when they open, please post. See you there.

Wade

[Pilar]

Ok its called the 'Carver curves cafe'? If so the number is 503 658 3206. They did not answer when I called. Another place to meet is Harmony House a little closer to 205 on Hwy 224 at 135th ave. 503 655 9547, they don't answer the phone either.

One last possibility is Mumpies right at the Carver bridge. I can't find a ph# for that.

[ 01-30-2002: Message edited by: Pilar ]</p>

[Pilar]

Here's another thought. Is there snow on the ground at the park? It is up above 500' and it has been snowing. Is there someone who can tell us what the conditions are at the site?

[Jennie@ifish]

Darn! Am I slow? I have so much going on, that I didn't even see this thread until Pilar sent me a memo!
OK, I'll be there too!
:smile:
I'll try and bring the boys.
Jen

[dogfishboy]

Here are a few other options for a meeting site.
Barton Store or Barton Park. It's just a little further down the same road, or the Jackpot/Chevron station at the Hwy. 211 turnoff, also a little further down the same road.

If we meet at Barton Park we could get about 45 minutes (6:45 to 7:30am) of fishing in above the boat ramp....just a thought :grin:

Carver boat ramp is another possibility.

Whatever works best for everyone.

[BigSpinner]

when I fish something happens, I think I only was fishing for 30min and it was really 3 hours. Time speeds up or something. But what ever the plain is I am game.

Jeremy

[wiser]

I talked to Curt, the owner of the Carver Cafe, tonight. He said he opens at 7:00 but would open early for a group like ours. I told him I would pass this on and get back to him with a time. If anyone else is interested in having breaffast or even just coffee I'll call Curt with some idea of what to expect.

[ 01-30-2002: Message edited by: Wiser? ]</p>

[blacktail]

I'm easy. I'll meet whenever, wherever for breakfast.

I've heard the Harmony House has excellent omlettes? If all else fails, there is a good old Denny's right off the 205/212 exit.

Mike

[Artwo]

I'm planning on being at the cafe at 7:00am if the departure time is still at 8 :blush: oam, an hour for breakfast should be plenty of time I would think.

JK

[dogfishboy]

Yes please...black... thank you. overeasy... bacon... and can I get some Tabasco, but wait...ya know...those biscuits and gravy sound good too?... decisions, decisions :whazzup: ... I know, I'll take both, thanks :grin:

Hate for them to open early and then not very many people show. Maybe we should just do it at 7 AM and then start at 8 AM like Artwo mentioned.

[Catch 22]

7:00 sounds great at Carver Cafe. Ya know, I've lived out here for 20 years now and have never eaten there. Good excuse to give it a try.

[wiser]

Okay, I'll stop being difficult. If 7:00 is the choice I'll call the owner and give him a heads up anyway. DFB, you sure an hour is enough for you :smile: ? I'll be there by 7:00 waiting for the doors to open..

[dogfishboy]

That’s why they make doggie bags :smile: . In your case, it would be a doggie bottle...seeing that grandpa Wiser? can only eat through a straw. :shocked: :grin: See, it's Gizmo's fault ... I gotta stop reading that darn F4 thread :rolleyes:

See ya around 6:45 Wiser? :smile:

dfb

[Game Chaser]

Hope to see you all there in the cleen up on Saturday... I will be bringing my dad along or shall i say he will be bringing me... :tongue: I will see you guys at the cafe at 7:00...

GC

[wiser]

I got the 100 large SOLV garbage bags and talked with the owner of Carver Curves Cafe to let him know there wuold be 12 to 20 people in for breakfast/coffee. He said the cook will be in at 6:45AM. See you all in the morning.

[will_e_fish]

Sorry fellow anglers but I had a trip planned to the coast for some time. I wanted to do both not enough time. Well I am glad Eagle Creek is getting the atention it deserves. I take stuff out every time I am there and it amazes me how much and what they leave. I actually have seen fishing people take stuff out too but then it always come back.

Heard from several sources that the state and local cops close their eyes to the kids partying. Why? I guess the underage need a place to pary til they **** .

Keep up the good work. Wish I could be there.

[Mofish]

I am Back Just got home from a 1600mile drive. Guess what was the first thing I did?? YEP Ifish.net I can't wait to meet you all, see you at Carver cafe. I to will be there at 6:30.

[Pilar]

Eggs? See you at breakfast ...

[Artwo]

Back to the top, come help out if you can everyone.

[Pete]

Mofish is the man! Imagine everyone's surprise when Todd stepped up and covered the tab for everyone's breakfast! WOW! He organized a great service event, brought a huge drop box and helped make sure that folks were distributed on the river and that newcomers to Eagle Creek had the opportunity to work/fish along side people that had some knowledge of the stream. Thank you for an outstanding, above-and-beyond performance, Todd!

[Jennie@ifish]

Sounds like Mofish is an outstanding kind of guy!
Here are some pictures sent to me by Jim.

I just wanted to thank you guys for cleaning up a river. That is a lot of work on most of your days off!
You are all awesome!
:smile:
Jen

[Game Chaser]

DITTO that Pete! Mofish, ya done good! Thanks for taking the time to put this event together. It was a great day on Eagle Creek. Thanks also for showing my son and I your HOT spots. :wink: :grin:

GC and Ryan

[wiser]

FYI,
Thanks everyone. I'm sending a copy of the note that I sent to Jennie when I sent pictures.
Jennie,
These 12 pictures were taken during the Eagle Creek Cleanup. About 25 people showed up at he Carver Curves Cafe. Mofish generously picked up the tab for breakfast. This was something no one expected and was greatly appreciated. Mofish brought the big trailer pictured and we did a good job filling it. Tires, a couch, old tent and smaller trash was collected from the creek side. It was great meeting everyone and giving back a little. Several folks stayed to fish and others went over to the Sandy. Better watch Pilar and dogfishboy. They found a couple items embedded in the creek and were talking C4 removal and had their rods along when last seen.
I thought it was great these fishers all got together to do this. Sometimes it's hard to get 20 people together to do almost anything but everyone who committed showed up. Put a little rush on the waitress and cook at the restaurant. I don't think they usually have a group of 25 show up at one time.
Go ahead and post what you feel is appropriate

[dogfishboy]

What a great day! A BIG THANKS to Mofish for organizing a great event and a VERY GENEROUS breakfast surprise. Dude, you ROCK! Enjoyed meeting and working with other Ifishers. A lot of trash removed and some good fishing fun with Pilar and Jennifer. Pilar, if your not careful she will soon be out fishing you :wink: Thanks to both of you for a nice walk in the woods. Pat, a big thanks for the holdzit (http://www.holdzit.com) file saver.

Hey Pete, ya know we should have taken Pilar up on his offer to use C4 to remove that toilet and stove from the hillside :shocked: or maybe not :rolleyes:

Thanks guys and gals.

I had a great day mofish you are a really cool guy for putting all this together. And to all the other ifish memebers you guys are great. After the clean up we went fishing on the sandy blacktail artwo and myself. I had a nice fish on it jumped a few times then the hook came out. I almosted cryed, artwo broke a fish off, and blacktail caught a chrom native. Great day thanks to all that showed up and helped out. I am looking forward to next time. thanks for the shrimp and corkys wiser.

Jeremy,

[blacktail]

Had a great time. Thanks Todd for breakfast and coordinating the clean-up. My first ifish "event". Also had a good time afterwards on the Sandy with Artwo and BigSpinner.

Mike

[BigSpinner]

Hey mike did you guys hook any after I left. I had a great time we need to do it again some time.

Jeremy,

[Mofish]

I would like to give you all a big Thanks Too. When I got up at 5:00am to feed horses I looked up and saw the star, and I said to myself that we may not have that great of turn out, but by 6:40am we filled the Carver Cafe. Buying the meal
was my way of saying thanks.

It truly was great meeting all of you and what a great bunch of people to take time out of your weekend.

A heart felt thanks to all.

Total Weight of all the Garbage 1095lbs.

After the dump I did dip my line in. 1 native = 1 release.

MoFish,
All I can say is thanks and you deserved even more. Fish, Fish, I mean more fish.
Say, where was birdhunter? Hope I didn't scare him away.

[ 02-02-2002, 09:02 PM: Message edited by: Wiser? ]

[Artwo]

What a wonderful day, Mofish you da man. Thanks for all the effort to set this up, it was a fun time had by all. Also got to spend the day fishing with some new found friends, really enjoyed the company Mike and Jeremy. Like Bigspinner said it was a exciting day for us on the Sandy afterwards with two long line releases and real nice chrome nate. Also thanks to Wiser for his generousity and fellowship as well today, look forward to running into you some more. How did the people that stayed and fished the creek do today, any fish?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend all and have a safe Superbowl Sunday.

JK

[Bait O' Eggs]

Mofish, you the man. Very well organized event that was fun for my whole whole family. Very nice gesture picking up the breakfast tab, Thank you. :smile:

[Drachir]

I wish my wife and I could have made it out there Sat. sounds like you all had a great time. A Huge Thank You to MoFish, for organizing the event, and picking up the check for breakfast. Another Huge Thank You to all who attended and helped clean-up the creek.
I have participated in many such events w/ other clubs. It just shows how a little bit of effort, and a lot of compassion for our resource, can have a huge impact. WOW :shocked: 1095# of garbage, that is impressive!!! THANK YOU ALL!!! :grin: :grin:

[birdhunter]

Where was birdhunter??? :shocked:

Out there on the river picking up trash instead of dining in a cushy cafe, that's where!

Seriously, I got a later start in the morning from Corvallis than I had wanted. Stopped on to do some fishin and pick up some trash. I was there at Eagle Fern to dump off my load and say hi to some of the guys. Artwo and Mofish can verify. I didn't get nearly as much as you guys did that first hall, but we went back out in the afternoon and filled up the back of my truck w/ some stuff from below Carver.

Glad to hear some of you got some fish. Saturday was a bust for me. I did get one nate this morning though. Thanks again Mofish for setting this up. Sorry I couldn't have helped out more. You guys did great.
