What a FANTASTIC city - Portland, OR!

Wish I could get some fishing in while I'm here, but all WORK. The salmon run is behind schedule nevertheless. Oh well.

Good fishing CorpusFishing.Com fans!

God Bless.

Tell us about Portland, Redfish Chaser! I hope to visit there someday, but I don't think they do much drilling up there.

I've been to Rock Springs. For me it's just the airport and hotel center. I'll be working in the mountains about an hour from Rock Springs. Beautiful country. Lots of Antelope up there. Prairie dogs everywhere too. Wyoming is like going back in time about 25 years. They have a drug store up there that sells beer, liquor, guns, ammo, and fishing gear in addition to the usual pharmaceutical items. My kind of store. Cool

Been there 3 times. Gorgeous place but was raining all but 1 day. Saw guys out playing golf. Asked my business associate what's up with the golf in pouring down rain? He looked at me like the idiot I probably am and said "it's not bad out today." Gorgeous spot but too much rain for me. All that rain almost drove our buddy Tyler to the nut house when he lived in Seattle.

Hope you have lots of sunshine while there!

10-4 on the the drilling up there chad, to many tree-hugger liberals for that. Just as bad as California!

That's where I live. It's alot drier, warmer and closer to PINS than Portland, Oregon.

I got turned around right before I entered the terminal building at CC airport. The job has been postponed, but no one knows by how much, so I have to remain close to the phone and get to stay home a little longer.

I saw your vehicle there, Mr. C. Smile

I lived there for 5 years before moving back to Corpus to go to school. My mom still lives there, and I am going up for a visit in the summer. The oversize sturegon (5+ feet) as well as the salmon are starting to bite. My mom said further down south an sea lion go into one of the fish ladders and chowing down on them. Only 46 salmon have made it past him, but theres nothing much the F&W people can do. If your heading up that way I can tell you where to go, where to fish, and what sights to see. Jason Slocum

My mom told me that they apparently swam up from coast all the way to bonnivle dam (about 80 miles) from the coast! They have gotten into the fish ladders, and are picking off the salmon quite easilly. I think its funny that they swam all that way up river, but if the food is there you cant blame them. Theres not really any solution to the problem. Would be nice if some Great Whites came in and thinned out the local populations on the coast. As far as fishing goes all they can do is either move, or deal with them stealing your catch. I never fished on the coast so I never really had any problems with them. Jason Slocum

They had a problem with sealions eating a rare run of steelhead at the Ballard Locks in Seattle and tried noisemakers, relocating them etc. It is a shame as I think that run no longer exists mainly to habitat loss and those pesky sealions. I am sure they really can't kill them as some of them might be on the endangered list as well. It would be like shooting bald eagles to save them from eating steelhead I guess.
There has been talk of dismantling those dams along the Columbia but so much industry uses the deeper water for barges and hydroelectric power those dams provide that no politicians can take that stance due to economics. Some of the sockeyes and other salmon that used to go all the way to Idaho became extinct. I think there is a river in Idaho called the Salmon River that no longer has any Salmon in it.
That's a tough balancing act with all of those farmers in Eastern Washington and Oregon that use water from the Columbia and Yakima Rivers for irrigating desert lands in those areas.
