Hear is a small sample of how our day went on the Willamette.

Wow, Chad must have had a good day cause we all know Daniel can't catch a Chinook, someting about a jinx i think he said.

Nice lookin groceries ya got there fellas.

I did have a good day but the whole boat did as well. I will make a full post with lots of pictures tomorrow.

The jinx is off Daniel. Well done....................H

Yea I hope so, Chad helped get me started by letting me take the rod from his rod holder and bringing in my first one. The second one I hooked back bouncing a shrimp cocktail. We were fishing with Wayne Priddy of Pretty good fishing guide service, and he said it has been one of the best years he has seen in 42 years of fishing that stretch of the Willy. So, if you had any inclination to fish for springers down there, this would be a good year to give it a try.

I've been watching the fish counts and new they had a year going. Priddy has been in the game for awhile and does a good job for his clients....

The Rogue is still high but some are still getting fish.... Staying close to the bank with high water conditions will get you hooked up. Last week before the storm fish were being caught anywhere on the river. In all my years I've never seen it like that. Usually everyone is shooting for the usual slots. They were really spread out. Just goes to show you, things change and so we must. .......................H

I had a Great day on the lower Rogue fishing with Chad and Daniel.
Everything was perfect. The tide, weather, Flow and Temp.
Just no fish.
It will be great to fish with you when the fish co-operate.

We had a great time with you guys today! We decided to blame everything on Hambone.

I can handle it buddy. Yep conditions were ripe for for a great day and a big no show. Another time, another day it will happen. RW and I had a good time catching up on fishing stories. Thanks for making the long journey guys.....H

We had a blast, thanks for taking us out, now if RW could only hook the fish that bit his line

He's very old you know
