WATER

Sorry Greg, could'nt resit.

your briliant barry.

There are a lot of drift boats in that river along with the water!

Should've known that I was going to get a bunch of smartass answers instead of some true help and info... Guess I'll ask people on Ifish... Maybe then I'll get some help.

ifish to.

I fish too.........LOTS!!

Every chance i get Ifish.

Greg, Curtis tells me by the end of March the steelhead fishing is about done. Maybe still a few
fresh fish but lots of downers. Possibly early springers in the lower part of the system.

I'm sure somebody on Ifish will get ya all lined out on it.

So Greg, are you asking for the address of the put ins and takeouts ??

Go to ifish, the people there will tell you you are holding your fish to far out of the water!

I just recently heard there are good numbers of fish all through March and into April some years. You going to float it with an inner tube? Thats about all I have to float with.

Now Greg, the boys are only having a little fun. Take a deep breath and put on a smile...

True but how hard is it to answer a cpl simple questions, Mike?
Only took a half hour to get the info I needed on another site.

Osprey and James Wood are located on Tyee Road. I don't know the exact address. I believe they are county ramps so maybe check with Douglas County Parks for address.

The take out on Page Road is an unimproved sandy ramp/pull-out but not really steep hill at all. It can be a mud hole though.

Whoever answered your question Greg does not know you. We do know you and know that any good information that is sent your way goes in one ear and out the other so most of the time its a waist of time to answer every one of your questions. The other reason might be that no one on here really knows the area that well so we do what we do best, joke around! Show us pictures when you actually float that area.

Its kinda hard to listen to anything you guys say when all you do is pick on me.

I have been fishing with my float rod alot more this year. I've been fishing ROBERTSON as Jon told me to. Applegate hasnt been worth a damn this year. In fact Chad, I've thrown your jigs most of the time and haven't gotten anything yet. I've been adjusting my float depth every couple casts... And you say I don't listen?

I think I've been listening if you ask me.

And I've been fishing the rig Jon told me that he and alot other people have been getting fish on also... I sadly got a trout on it this weekend.

So if you think I haven't been listening thru all the bullshit you guys have been saying... Think again.

I love this site... But I HATE every one picking at me EVERY single time I ask a question. Just because I haven't caught alot of steelhead doesn't mean that I haven't tried... In fact... I've fished more already this year for winter steelhead than I have any other year.

Greg I am glad you are starting to listen and fish the way you should be, it will pay off. But that does not mean that you did not listen to any of us for years because that is the case. Also, everyone here gives each other crap. Jon always says Daniel catches all of the fish and on and on. We all make fun of each other here and on the water. Maybe its easier for us to take crap from each other because we are catching steelhead but don't think for a minute that you are the only one being made fun of.

Greg, sometimes it's a little hard to take you serious, especially when you ask for things like the address of the
put ins and take outs ?? That one blew me away. We're not pickin on ya buddy it's just a way of encouraging
you to keep at it. You're a good kid and as long as you keep hiitin it hard the fish will come.
There's lots of season left so maybe we can get ya out and float the river before it's over.

well put k-steel. words from a very wise man. all kidding aside. quit trying to be something you are not, and just be yourself.

Sorry for asking for a lil help guys!!! Guess its time to start fishing the pond next weekend... And get out the next weekend for the last time this season. Thanks for the help guys...

And just to put it into a lil perspective... I just graduated high school... Throughout my freshman, sophmore and junior year I was picked on quite a bit... I know.. It sounds stupid.. But everyone knew I wasnt going to fight em... My dad taught me better than to fight. So I kept getting picked on... All these topics on here when you guys pick at the dead horse... Feels like high school again... But on the internet. Ya know... Testosterone gets running, and I get ticked off because I can never catch a break with you guys. I've been listening to every word you guys have been saying... Just haven't had much luck with steelhead.

So just put it into perspective and remember that...

I am truly sorry guys.

See ya!

Oh and I wasnt asking for the exact address.. Kinda like the proximity because Im trying to get an idea of where we are going and all that.

Greg, they (most) didn't make it past the 8th grade on ifish hang in there!

Greg,

Less talking and typing. . . .more fishing and observation on the river.

Well said Slayer. Greg, get out there man. March is the month !!

Keep at it Greg, it will come , lots of fish in the river, (the little woman) caught a close to 5 lb smallmouth last weekend, steelhead are in the river, look around for where they will go when they are tired of having stuff thrown at them, in a heavily fished spot look around the edges for places to hold, I know it's hard to believe but steelhead DO bite on other things but jigs! Mix your bait up, try something dfferent than what you see everybody else "not" catching them on, good luck man, good fishin!
