Hope this answers what the river looks like in the dark.
Can you tell the color?
Found: 02/01/10 A nice pair of
prescription sun glasses and a case. Found in
our parking lot this morning. Call and describe to claim
them.
02/08/10 Boy we had a busy weekend:
The weather was good ,
the river conditions were pretty good, maybe a
touch on the low side, and fishing was just OK. The
problem for most was there were just too many boats.
When the water gets low, boat traffic gets condensed
into just a few drifts, because the upper runs aren't do
able. Most went from either 4th bridge or 1st bridge, ,
and Saturday we estimated about 50 boaters on the river.
That tends to slow the fishing. Add to that ,the water
was pretty clear, plus 50 boats , and that makes for
lots of spooked fish. In addition to that the Wilson has
been slow lately and many of the Wilson River fishermen
have been here on the Nestucca. If you were some of the
first boaters in a run, you did pretty well. If you were
the tenth, twelfth, fifteenth, boater you probably had a
tough day. Sometimes it's better to wait out the
morning, make an afternoon drift, behind everyone, after
things have settled down. Regardless there were many
Steelhead caught, just no big numbers for
anyone. There was a report of a 19 pound hatchery
Brood Stock Steelhead caught at the Rock Hole. That's a
pig.! Bank fishermen in the upper Nestucca were
finding lots of fish though many of those were dark fish
from Decembers run. Still their fun to catch.
This clearer water is a good time to run bobber and jigs or my favorite
for low water, spinners.
I had some interesting emails and , a couple of apologies, I accepted, and some
cries for "NO MORE GENERIC REPORTS".! I
heard you loud and clear !
One writer named Lance wrote "On
a more serious note, very disappointing to see the crap
being left behind at all the usual bank access locations
on the river. The other day I fished my way down from
well above the restricted tackle area down to fourth
bridge, and found myself at almost every stop picking up
empty cigarette packages, empty beer and Red Bull cans,
bait jars, ect., from both along the pullouts and down
by the river as well. Perhaps you could ask the readers
of your fishing report to consider doing the same as
well, as we all need to pitch in to counter the
MORON's who treat our rivers as their trash
bins."
Well Lance I couldn't have said it better. I too feel a little
shame when I see how thoughtless some folks can be trashing the river.
One thing to consider even if you are one of the
offenders( MORON's) , many private property owners notice too. If
you want to continue having these folks keep their
properties open to fishermen, we cannot leave behind our
garbage. Not to mention there are some very hefty fines
for littering. For anyone that is interested, we have SOLVE
bags here at the shop. If you are interested in picking
up some trash from the areas you like to fish, come get
a bag from us, they are free.
Pecan Pies: Last week a customer said," how come you
don't carry those little pecan pies?" "Well" I said ,"no
one has ever asked for them". I like them myself
so I though why not. I bought a little 12 pack display
and immediately sold out. Wow who would have guessed. My
point you ask......... sometimes my best new products
come from someone asking for it. So if there is
something you think we are missing out on, It never
hurts to ask. If I think it's reasonable and it's
available to me ,you just might find we have it the
next time you come in.
