Here goes. I began my fishing life this spring 0 for 3 or was it 5 on the lower Columbia. still being on the river was a thrill and my friend taught me how to feel the tackle working, how to count out my line, so when we went to Green Peter to hunt for kokanee I had some small skill with the line, but still not a bite that day. (I did spot my first wild orchid however and that was the catch of a lifetime!) On my next visit to Green Peter I caught my first Koke. Our next trip took us to the Metolius arm of Billy Chinook, where we found the kokanee college and fished out that school to a happy 24 over two days. My friend continues to help me learn new skills, and recently let me row the drift boat. I am one happy water baby. Kokes are liquid silver motion---with eyes of pure gold. The best thing: seeing a steelie jump mid air in the early evening light while camping on the North Santiam. Life is good. Thanks for all your support while I have been lurking on line. You caught me! Euphrosyne 2

"Fishing gives you a sense of where you fit in the scheme of things - Your place in the universe...I, mean, here I am, one small guy with a fishing pole on this vast beach and out there in the blue expanse of ocean are these hundreds of millions of fish...laughing at me."

Re: first post
Welcome aboard!! Kokanee fishing is a lot of fun. Been a long time since I've been able to enjoy it, as I've been on the salt these last several years. Maybe one of these days I'll head inland for a bit of fresh water fishing on a more relaxed pace. :smile:

Re: first post
:smile: Welcome...This is a nice place to, uhmmmmmmmm...Nest! Yeah, that's it...Nest. You can wake up in the middle of the night, 2-3 hours before it's "Really" time to go fishing, and find some other 'IFisherFolk' to talk to, or just start a new thread! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
Keep the stories coming in and welcome!
