Newbee on Board

Hello fellow Fisherman!, and greetings from So. Oregon.
I have a drift boat, and primarily fish for Salmon and Steelhead on the Umpqua & Rogue rivers.
I look forward to "chatting" with all you experts, and exchanging fish stories. :grin:

If you need me this Saturday, I'll be on the 45 yard line in Reser Staduim.
GO BEAVS!

P.S. For all you Duck fans...I promise to type slow

If you're a Beav's fan, I think slow typing would be unavoidable. Welcome. Where's the story? No free passes in this joint. :grin:

Welcome aboard, StickyHook! As you may have noticed, we've developed a little tradition here-a-bouts ... the initiation "Fish Tale". Maybe you can give us some sense of where you like to fish or a particularly memorable moment in your fishing life. We hear there's some nice catches from the lower end of the state!

Welcome aboard. Hey Keta, this guys your neighbor, practically across the street from ya. Maybe you can loan him a story. I'll get the hip boots on if ya do! :grin:
All in fun Sticky- Keta's in KFalls but you still have to come up with a story :smile:

Unlike most of the stories I've read on this site, mine is actually true! [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
For years I had suffered the plight of the lowly Bank Fisherman. Constantly loosing tackle, and always having to "re-tie and egg-up". For all my efforts and expense...I had very little success.
Last winter I was invited to float the S. Umpqua in a DriftBoat. This was my first trip in a DB, so I had no idea what to expect.
Well...let me tell ya'...after only six hour of fishing, we had hooked 17 Steelies, and landed 14. This was more steelhead than I had caught in ten years of being a Banky.

Long story short..within a few months, I had my own DB

Welcome aboard. It must be nice to have a boat of some sort, I'm still stuck to the banks unless I bum a ride.

skrimmy · 11-21-2002, 04:36 PM

Now that's a story any of us would love to be able to tell! See, it wasn't that hard, even for a Beaver! :grin: :grin: Welcome aboard!

Welcome to Ifish StickyHook. I owned my first fishing boat at 14; a little10ft pram I used in the river behind our house. I'm sure you would agree Boat Bucks in any amount are always well spent.

Welcome aboard, StickyHook. My brothers and I built our first boat, a raft actually, when we were kids. It was for a creek that ran by about a quarter mile from the house. By the time we got all the wood nailed together and tossed it in the creek we darn near had a bridge! It was just bouyant enough to float my youngest brother. Put anybody else on it and it sank to about 10" below the surface. Submarine!! Oh well.
