Bend, Or.  Never fished the Deschutes for red sides before.  Anyone offer some access advice?

i've only floated from warm springs to maupin. it's some great fishing. the fish are on the banks and eating BWO's probably. the wading is treacherous on VW sized boulders.

Sekiu. The annual fishing trip with my father-in-law. He was up there last weekend and boated 101 fish but only 11 keepers.
Sounds like we should have a blast this weekend.

Ya might as well come on up here an hit the kenai.  Call it a true suicide run.   :yike:

Let me see, 43 straight hours by truck to Anchorage, 16 Mountain Dews, 24 energy Drinks, 12 No-Dozs and a Case of Energy bars........ Heck yea I can do it.....   2.5 hours from there to the Bing's Landing, 45 run up to Skilak Lake area.  Shoot I could be there by Friday evening, but after I get my limit will have to head home..... for work on Monday morning....  Save me a spot if you don't mind...

When you put it that way that seems really doable.  I'll see ya at Bings at about 7pm on Friday.  We'll get a quick limit so you can get back to WA.

Oh so tempting for sure........  If I only had an extra week of vacation, I'd be calling in sick right now with the "Flu Friday" and filling up the truck...

Family is camping at Sunlakes State Park, I will be fishing at Blue lake, lol

Is bad taste in Forum etiquette to quote your own post,  :dunno:

I am amending my post, I am going to try to sneak off the Roofus Woods Saturday morning instead of Blue lake (do not want to deal with the skiers/jet skiers) The wife's Birthday is Sunday so I figure I have a good chance of sneaking out on Saturday.....if I keep a low profile, lol

Probably up the Tucannon River and then hit one of the ponds. I am teaching myself to fly fish so I might walk in to the fly fishing only lake.

Anyone know of any goods spots around Walla Walla/Dayton/Tri Cities? Something within say an hour or so driving?

You didn't miss anything at the Canal. Fished it Friday, and caught one shaker and a flounder. There was 15 or so boats out there, and by 9:45, everyone had either left or went to fish for Humpies in front of the hatchery.

Fished Sturgeon today and boated 14 shakers. Two closest were 34 and 35. Found out my new favorite Sturgeon rod is the G Loomis SAR1265C. If you've never fished shaker/keeper sturgeon on lighter gear, you need to try it.  :IBCOOL:

Headed back to MA12 in the morning.

Night fishing for steelhead on the CR on Monday night for Gobblerman and me.  On anchor with glow flashing plugs laced with shrimp oil.  Results on Tuesday

How did everyone do? My dad and I went to Point Defiance on Saturday. What a zoo but I expected it. We fished Dalco for a couple hours first light without even a tickle. Headed over to the point and my dad nailed a nice 13 pounder. I had one hit my jig rod and just about tear it out of my hand but it came off. My dad landed another small chinook that was under 22". For seeing about 150 boats, we never saw another fish caught, and only heard of a couple others that guys had. The tides are looking better this week though so that should help.
