Does anyone have any reports of the salmon fishing at Winchester? Also is there any Tuna being reported within 50 or so miles of the coast? Sure would like to find some info. Thanks, Propwash.

I have an aunt down there and she says the fishing has been real good, it is also good in the Umpqua. I am headed down there in the morning.

Fish_on, How did you do at Winchester or the umpqua? I would like to know if it is worth the trip from Bend. Thanks, Propwash

Both places would be worth the trip, we had some pretty fast tides this weekend but managed to pick up one fish. Saw lots rolling in the river I think we would have done pretty good had the captain of the boat stayed in the place where we got take downs. The hot spot seemed to be were the Smith dumps into the Umpqua, they are killing them in the bay. Good luck if you go, also take your crab pots to the ay they are getting some of the biggest crabs tey have ever seen,
