Any body gearing up? Looks like the fish counts over the bam have took off the last 3 days.  Looks like ill be in Oregon this weekend might have to bring some gear and look for a place that's open to fish.

[D-Rock425]

Ill be in Portland Friday but will have the weekend for some fishing.

I carry a big stick and soil myself so no one will stand next to me.

you sound like most of the guys I have fished next to down there....   

To fish there... you will need a good casting or spinning rod 8.5-9 ft.  loaded with 15-17 lb. test.... and some Mag Warts.. color is not important as long as it is Fluorescent Orange, Tiger Strip w/ Fluorescent Orange, or the previous mentioned Fluorescent Orange with glitter (my favorite, and I have one lure that has caught 30 fish)...    Cast and retrieve non stop for hours, and wait for the freight train to hit the end of  your line..   Brad's Mag Warts are great.....

Thanks for the info.

    That's a good idea, maybe I should try that this year!

[Huntbear]

Thanks for the info. 

Make sure you check.. but normally Drano is closed from Tues. at dark till Wed. at Midnight for netting...

Some are around the lake.
You bank guys are lucky they took down the platform at the bridge.

I fished there for a few hours last sat. and there was 3 people there that had fish. 2 people got there two fish limit. They were using maglips (dill pickle I think it is called)  with sardine wrap and the other was a flasher with a cut plug died blue.
