Hi everybody,

My name is Bill I started off as a charter member then joined for life in the earily part of 1992. I grew up in the mid Willamette valley and now reside in Central Oregon. I fish for most types of fresh and salt water game and non-game fish.

nice to see you mustang bill.

Hey Dave, I don't spend much time on this forum, I'm usually on the other one!

I spend more time there as well, but they are getting this one back in shape, and I think you'll see a migration again.  Don't know this one will regain all it's past glory, but we'll see.

Hello Gentleman,

Is there a different NAFC forum?  Last time I was on these forums was 3 or 4 years ago. Everthing is different now. I remember the old forum had quite a bit of traffic. Its nice to be able to correspond with local people who know our waters rather than a blanket answer which could be applied to any water.

Regards,

Bill

One of the members got us to his site a couple times when this board went down.

Hi James,

Welcome. My name is Bill; I lived in the mid Willamette valley (Albany, Jefferson, Scio area) for over 26 years. Now I live n central Oregon. I fish for most varieties of fish and I have several different boats. If you are ever interested in an fishing trip in the high cascade lakes area when the weather is better and the season opens let me know, although it seems whenever I mention boats no one wants to talk to me anymore. Once I finish some repairs I will have my Columbia River / Ocean Boat ready again then I’ll hit some walleye and sturgeon fishing.  Aside from the guys at work that always want to go along I would like to hook up with other club members. When the snow files and the weather is bad I spend time making fishing gear for the next season and fixing equipment. Today I am casting fishing weights and downrigger cannon balls. To be completely honest I don’t get out much during the winter my job keeps me tied up (I am a machinist and metal fabricator) and when the weather is really bad. It’s too dangerous to pull a trailer when everything is iced up. Hopefully there are club members close to you that fish all year long.

Good Fishing,

Bill

Welcome James,

I'm in Wilsonville and do quite a bit of Stelhead fishing.  We're in prime time right now, so we'll have to get together and I can show a little bit probably.  I'm starting a couple new jobs this next week, so I'm not sure how much time I'll be having, but we can likely find some time.  PM me with your schedule and we'll try to work something out.

I've got my drifter in the garage right now, but it should be time to float again soon.   I also fish from the bank quite a bit this time of year, a lot of times because boats aren't welcome on the rivers I like to fish.

Ogre and Bill, I'll fish you with guys when the snow melts.  We attempted to go this morning, but the freezing rain turned us around.

I joined today so I want to say Hello to all the Ore. Fisherman!

I live in Portland & have just started fishing in Or. & Wash. I have a place at Lake Merwin in SW Washington & picked up an older boat so I am trying to figure out the lake & Kokanee.

I am planning on retiring in the next year or so & would like to do a LOT more Fishing in Or. & Wa.

Welcome aboard Richard.  Good info and people on the board.  The club changed the format of the Board back in November.  A lot of the members quit coming to the site for a while, as it was slow, different, and hard to get around in.  They are slowly but surely coming back.  I live down in Wilsonville, so maybe we can get a coffee sometime.  Cruise around the board and join in when you feel like it.  You may also want to go to the "New Member" forum and introduce yourself.

My name is Brian, I have been a life member since 99. I live in Portland now, but I used to live in Eagle Creek for 18 years so I know the waters there pretty well. I am also a member of the Oregon Fishing Club for almost 8 years now. I fish for trout/steelhead/salmon for the most part. Most of the OFC properties have bass/bluegills/crappie so from time to time I fish for them too.

Mostly a bank fisherman, but I do have a float tube for use in the OFC lakes and ponds. I also like to go to Harriet Lake or Clear Lake in the cascades for trout from the float tube. Would like to hook up with someone for sturgeon fishing. Would be willing to help pay for bait/gas for the experience. My email is: kc7hsq at comcast.net  Feel free to contact me if you want to go fishing if youre in the portland area. I would be more than happy to share what knowledge I have for fishing.

yer pal Brian

Welcome to the board Brian.  I don't sturgeon fish, but I think Ogre does.  I mostly fish Salmon and Steelhead these days.
