If you're not a Steelheader, then get the fuck out, NOW! We get up early, drive on icy roads, stand in the rain and snow freezing our asses off, hoping the fukin grey ghost comes to life and rips 70yrs of line off. We are the same Doogs that go watch Larry Scott's night gaymes even if it's raining. I will yell at your yuppie ass for leaving early or sitting on 3rd down.
If your going to low hole, start slow, even if it's not consensual
Pup dont get up early, he's on deck enjoying baileys and coffee by a warm fire.. Pup lets all the gapers overfish the river with their faggy floats and jigs, loading the bases with spooked fish...then pup comes in at 11am, well rested and cozey warm batting cleanup , pulling pups mangled, teeth worned plugs and drifting the finest kenai sockeye eggs. From his heated lavro from his private launch Pup enters the batter's box and clears the bases.
If there's a real steelheader here, Youve seen the silent assassin in the green lavro with the steelhead graphics on each side of the bow. Hes not hard to spot, just look for the net up...
Floats and jigs are training wheels for stupid Coogs or Duck fans who can't bottom bounce.... Catch a 20+ pound Winter and then pop off!
If you fish in Oregon, any steelhead over 14 pounds is a 20 pounder.
True because a Sea Lion has already took a hunk out of it.
May we call for Sea Lion genocide? FTSL's!
The dumbshit ODFW traps and tags them and then dumps them out at either Astoria or Newport if they're feeling real industrious. A few days later they're back upriver munchin on Steelhead again. There was a story on the local news last night about it. They still haven't grown a sack to do what needs to be done due to PETA and like organizations AND becausse TD Oregon!!!!.
However what they ARE proposing is draining Detroit reservoir and putting a cooling tower in it just behind the dam. Granted this is about 100 miles upstream Willamette Falls where the sea lions are doing the most damage. But they want tp control water temp downstream a few miles. This will kill the marinas, resorts and the whole town, cost over $200 million and has no precedent of working. As they did more or less the same thing at Lake Billy Chinook that yielded minimal at best results. And even if it does work, the run will be extinct anyway due to the Sea Lions.
Before whitey built all the damn dams it probably never mattered- i.e., there was enough biomass of trout and salmon for all including stupid sea lions. I blame the Nissan Leaf owners.
