Default I can stink\'em up with the best

Had the extreme pleasure of fishing all afternoon with Fishin Mission and his wife. What a couple wonderful people. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] We worked over the Willamette in the Milwaukie area. 6 hours and all we saw was one fish caught. My 38th day on the Willamette this spring and not a bite on this river yet.

This is really getting old, the Willamette fish gods are using me for there outhouse this year.

You would think a guy who has been stacking them up like cord wood could get me into a fish. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Little did he know how difficult a chore that might be. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Maybe monday, maybe tuesday, maybe 2002

Roy,
I'll be on the river Monday and Tuesday ... I can't guarantee fish, but at least we can talk about Dream Casters. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I'm right there with you BOE. Lot's-O-Time and nothing to show for it. For me the Columbia included! One more day of Salmon abuse this week and then I'm hitting the Craine Prarie opener on some good ol power bait. God knows I need a morale boost.....

Hang in there!

Because I dont think it is dead yet!! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I think I heard a whimper last week.

Actually it is about all I can do before work, except maybe bank fish part of the lower clack for steelhead.

Gonna turn it around this week. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Got a couple things I want to try yet.

One of them is to try fishing a doughball under a bobber at about 8 feet. And the doughball I want to start with fishes from a 16 foot alumaweld, no paint. He knows who he is, he was acting like he owns the river last week. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
