 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.
