I will make this a simple post. :smile:
Me and my friends love to fish the Willamette above the Falls...Wheatland Ferry area to be exact. We usually will go after work and get a good 4 hours of fishing in. We really love to be out and enjoying the trip but a fish every now and then would be great... We logged over 148 hours on the river last year and caught 20+ chubs and that is it :shrug:
We saw many fish caught the majority of them being stealhead but we just can't seem to figure it out. I beleive fishing is a learning sport if you don't get the knowledge from trial and error then you try to learn from those who have had success. I feel my trial and error period is over so now I'am looking for a few hints on gear. I run a salmon splitter with an 18" dropper and 4oz of lead then a 54" leeter with a prawn riggin. I just let it sit on the bottom I'am not sure if I'am to deep or if i should lighten up my lead and let it be farther off the bottom. I love to kwickFish but it seems the current is to strong I tried it but I'am not sure if i should let it go the bottom and sit or if it is just impossable to do because of current. I'am too the point know were I feel I just don't know what to do.. :shrug: I would like to find one thing that works and just stick with it seems like I'am changing gear all the time and trying everything in the box from small to big.. If anyonw has a riggin that they would like to share i would be more than willing to listen and give it a try. WE anchor up and enjoy the rest of the day on river. You can email me at [email protected] or simply reply to the post. Any help will be appreciated. :cheers:
So much for a simple post lol
