Above I-5 Hog lines?
This will be my first rather serious attempt for spring fish in the Troutdale area. Do springer lines usually form in the same areas as the fall lines I saw last year?

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
From what I have seen, depth of 10-30 ft is usially targeted. With clearer water and dry spring month that might change.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Yes, people will still fish those same spots.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Nemo, I am guessing you will probably be fishing the same spot as last spring! :grin:

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Best spot on the river for pikeminnows :grin:.
I'm actually going to give it a try tomorrow. Heard about a couple sea lions that were munching down on some chrome in front of the saw dust pile today.
I'll save you guys a spot!

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
18mph West wind predicted, I think I'll wait for a day or so.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
If the wind is blowing I like to use jet divers instead of lead. At least then as the wind is blowing you around on anchor your lures are following and covering more water. Also I did pretty well using Kwikfish behind jet divers a few years ago out there.
I would be there tomorrow but work calls. I saw a dredge working the 205 area about a month ago so I may need to scout some areas to see what the changes look like.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Skybuster, were the dredgers on the Gov't Island side? And if so how far up or down the island did you see them go? I hope my favorite spot has not changed. I have them saved as waypoints and hope I don't have to reconfigure the whole thing...

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
They only dredge the navigation channel, that should not effect your fishing.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Nemo- be sure to post what you see happening above I5, I'll more than likely hit the government island area come Friday. Thanks, TOC.

Re: Above I-5 Hog lines?
Most of the dredging activity was located between Chinook Landing and the power lines. (Seems like they do it every year).
I have seen them down lower, but it did not look like it was an operational event.
