The presentation will cover tackle, techniques, and helpful hints to make your time on the water more productive. This program includes fishing Chironomids in the Cascade lakes.

OUTING!!
WHEN: April 10, 2016
WHERE: Lost Lake - CLATSOP County
WHAT TIME: We don't try too hard - maybe mid-morning? Boat ramp by at least 10....
WHAT to EXPECT: First day trip of the Season - Lost Lake is less than 30 feet deep and is divided into two parts by a small passage; it is a 15-acre natural forest lake nestled in the mountains. The lake has stocked rainbows as well as larger holdovers - the bonus? A few steelhead. The lake is best fished with a pontoon boat or float tube.
Directions: drive west on highway 26 and turn off on the road to Henry Rierson Spruce Run Park on the Nehalem River. Just before entering the park, a gravel road (unsigned but known as the Lost Lake Road) takes off on the left. This road travels 5 or 6 miles to a parking area on your right. Just past the parking lot is an unimproved boat ramp. Andy hopes to be at the parking area by 10 a.m.

REDD SURVEYOR
REDD SURVEYOR
WHAT: Salmonberry River Redd Surveying
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHEN: April 17; May 1, 15, & 29 for 2016
WHAT to EXPECT:
In 1996, the Salmonberry was identified as the only river in Oregon
with a healthy run of wild winter steelhead. And, despite massive damage
from a 2007 storm that saw significant road failures and landslides,
the river still produces some of the best runs of wild steelhead.
Volunteers from NW Steelheaders and Native Fish Society have been collecting steelhead spawning survey and temperature data from the Salmonberry River since 1993, complementing and expanding on ODFW's data that goes back to 1973. Without all the hours put in by dedicated volunteers, there would be a far less complete picture of abundance cycles, run timing, and fish distribution in the Salmonberry.
