Hey there pinksalmon. Just started fishing for Chinook Sunday. Bite was slow for us, but saw some caught. We were on the Alsea River west of Corvallis in tidewater. Next shot of rain this week should get them headed up the rivers. We'll likely be on the Nestucca this coming weekend. Getting reports from Columbia in the Tri Cities area. They are doing well up there for Salmon and Steelhead. Got another report from a friend on the Sandy river over the weekend. He went 1 for 5 on Coho. I also just got back from the NF John Day on Friday. Small Mouth were biting well for me. I came back by way of I-84. Quite a few guys fly fishing down by the mouth, but I didn't talk to anyone. Gill Nets were in all the way down the river, at least on the Oregon side. If you get on this side of the mountains, give me a holler, I can probably get you to some big fish this time of year.

Nice one boomer. Tell us a little about it. Weight, bait used and whatever.

Originally posted by: Boomer99323 on 11/7/2007 7:10:06 PM

I cought it at the mouth of the Snake River in the Columbia trolling for Stealhead in 15ft of water on a metallic red wiggle wart tipped with a schrimp. It 19.5 in. I didn't weigh it before I let it go.

Sorry the pic is so big I'm learning how to post pictures. The tail you is is a 30in Walleye cought 4 miles upriver from the mouth of the Snake I let that on go to. I'll try to post that one next.

Boomer,
You can edit the post. When the original post comes up, put your cursor between the two copied pics and hit enter to put the second pic on a new line. The size is ok, I think your copy is just a single line in the post.
They are too nice of fish not to see.
JustDave

my wife is goin to AR for christmas to visit her siss, but i'll be @ home with the kids....

 i still wana come up , but  dout i can!  dam it! MG one day will meet up....

i hope you all do well...

I'm back sort of.  Home computer is TU so I have to go to the library.  Doing pretty well.  We're consistantly banging the Chinook now, even though the run is pathetic.  Steelhead are just getting here in some of the rivers, so we'll have some to go after when MG gets here next Thursday.  Looking forward to her trip.  We'll  be fishing Steelhead through the end of March, so if you can make it, we'll get you into one or two.  We'll provide lots of info on her trip, don't worry.

JustDave

HA JUSTDAVE WANT RIVER,S OUR STILL OPEN IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOOD,S ISTILL GET MY STEEL HEAD AND SALMON TAGS HOW THE WEATHER IT DON,T LOOK GOOD HA I SEE THE M.G. IS COME TO OREGON THAT COOL

Pink,

All the rivers are still open for Chinook (til Dec 31st) and clipped Steelhead.  Chinook run has been disappointing so far (hoping for a late push of fish) and Steelhead is just getting started.  Muskygirl will be coming out next week.  Members of the BB have donated for the airfare, etc.  She'll be here fishing for six days for Chinook and Steelhead..  Looking forward to being her host.

I sent Just Dave some pics to show what i was doing here @ Burbank and he emailed me step by step how to do it.  as you can see I'm not very good at it with all of the pics just sent in the two.  Had agood year about 30 walleyes and to many small mouths to count.

Darn nice lookin fish you caught there boomer. Great job.
