Title: Fish from the Ronde...my second largest fish on this river
Post by: huntnnw on March 04, 2012, 09:37:47 PM: I hit the ronde thursday afternoon and fished till this am...fishing was pretty good, but a lotta people down this weekend. Lots of old friends and family down too. We didnt get much fishing done friday and saturday :chuckle: This am I hooked into what I thought I had foul hooked a fish....couldnt move it. then 30 yards of line burning off. This went on for over 15 min by far the strongest fish I had the pleasure of ever hooking on that river. This fish is a close second to the largest I have landed in 24 years of fishing the river

Title: Re: Fish from the Ronde...my second largest fish on this river
Post by: huntnnw on March 06, 2012, 10:09:49 PM: that really depends on time of year..winter thru mid feb I would want water under 3,000 after that I have had some great days fishing up to 8,000 cfs near the hatchery as the fish begin to stack up below hatchery and the fish just get closer to shore when it gets high. This year and last year are much the same, we have had way to much water in Jan and Feb and caused all the fish to race up the river making what is usually prime time in March more of a fizzle
