any idea what it might have been???

On Tuesday we where out on the willamtet just down river from the M.C and we anchored over a bunch of what looked like old pileings that had fish all over the bases and up off of the bottom. I guess they are only shaker sturgeon? one guy thought they might have been walleye or bass?

any ideas of what they where?

bass, walleye or pike minnows

yeah I was thinking the same thing. would any of you eat the walleye out of the willy :blush: the pileings where so loaded with fish I think I will just go back and see what they where tomorow this time with a rod.

to me yes :grin: I can almost justify eating a fish that is just passing through the raw sewage and be ok with it( salmon) but I do not eat any sturgeon from the willy because they spend so much time in the river. I however thought that the walleye where more migratory and I tried to tell myself that they passed in from the columbia and maybe go out on ocassion to get the sewage out of them [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Crappie. I've caught kajillions of them in the Willamette. Not sure I'd eat them anymore - they're resident and towards the top of the food chain. Try small rubber tailed jigs, and report back.
