I just read a summary on the PFMC website that reported both the Central Valley and Klamath River fall chinook are above the conservation floor for fall 2023. What this means is that there will be some sort of ocean chinook season for those of you that fish south of Cape Falcon.

I also had an opportunity to swing intruders on the mainstem Klamath with my grandson Chase. He's 19 and a full time college student (plus he has a job) so getting time on the water with him has gotten harder. He was my guide on this trip and we fished two of his favorite runs - both several...

Yesterday, I returned to a place that I haven't been to in the past 4 or 5 years. It's a freestone stream which has connectivity to the salt. It's remote, my buddy and I saw maybe 3 or 4 vehicles all day and no other anglers. That's pretty much how it's always been. In November after the...

I copied/pasted below from SpaceWeather.com - it's fairly certain there will be a geomagnetic storm sometime on the 19th. A G2 class storm could mean that the aurora will be visible to the unaided eye in parts of the PNW. AND ANOTHER CME IS COMING: A huge magnetic filament erupted on Sept...

Does anyone have any experience with the older version Sage Salt? I have a line on a 9 weight but I really know nothing about it.

The Oregon Coast got clobbered yesterday as that deep, cold upper level trough stalled and dumped for about 12 hours. NWS Portland issued a winter storm warning for much of the coast. We had 6" at our place just outside Lincoln City (elevation 160') and there was 9" in Tillamook. It sounded...

We just completed our second annual "Geezer Tour" on the Oregon coast. The three of us worked together and now are retired from long careers with a state resource agency. We fished two days in two different watersheds, both within a short driving distance from our place in Lincoln County. We...

Devils Lake (near Lincoln City, Oregon) is not a destination fishery for fly folks and I doubt that it ever will be. Thanks to ODFW, several thousand pounds of hatchery raised triploid rainbows are planted each spring. Some of the locals and a few out of towners troll for them until they are...

During the Pleistocene Epoch, Lake Lahontan once covered 8,500 square miles of what now is NW Nevada, NE California and SW Oregon. Pyramid Lake is part of what remains of the once vast inland sea and is still a very large body of water covering 180 square miles. The Lahontan cutthroat trout...

I thought to kick off my new membership to this Forum, I would provide an update from a few days of Oregon Coast tidewater fishing I made with my crew (we call ourselves "the geezers") this past fall. The three of us usually take turns hosting trips and buddies Don and Dan enjoy stillwater...
