Recap of 2006

Another fishing year is about to slide under the bridge and a new season is starting. As I look back on 2006 I can't help but remember the fun we had. Tom do you remember the 60 inch keeper sturgeon in Astoria? How about that ten fish day in Tillamook bay, wow! was that fun. Jeff will always remember the giant native Steelhead that tore him up on the Clackamas, I know I will. I could go on and on but back to the business at hand.
The winter Steelhead season is here and again this year I will be fishing the Clackamas River. This morning she is running high and muddy, about 1600 cfs but when she drops there will be lots of Eagle creek hatchery fish and some brood fish as well. Again this year we will side drift eggs and corkies with light spin gear. For those of you that haven't done this with me I can only say it is the most exciting fishing of the year. Much more fun that trolling or anchor fishing. Another plus is the Clackamas will produce Steelhead right up to the time when Spring Chinook season starts. If you want to get outside and enjoy a winter fishing day on the river give me a call at 503-318-5262--fish on!

Tillamook Bay Chinook fishing was very productive this year. These fish were caught on Nov. 20 in the bay.
