That's awesome! My Grandparents used to have a house within a few blocks of the lake so tons of good memories there.

I’ll be in Portland for a few weeks, got me a little set up to catch whatever. Would like to get on some crappie but I’ll definitely be checking these spots out.

Awesome! Good luck to you! I've seen people do pretty well on Crappie out at St. Louis Ponds.

Whats up Danny. Not much of a lake fisherman but I will have to give some of these a try. Next time you go to Clear Lake you got to check out Sahalie Falls. Its super close to the lake. I have been researching Central Oregon fishing, tons of lakes with monsters.

Yes! There are lots of lakes that didn't make the cut in this video.

I didn’t know they put broods in Waverly lake (Albany). I hooked into one last spring using an ultralight with 4lbs. line. Thought I hooked into a giant Bass. I took a few minutes to get it in. Was using a pink Rooster Tail.

Yes, Detroit definitely stays very well stocked with fish. 🐟 Thanks for the suggestion!

How do you get stocking info in Oregon?

@northwestweekenders

Google "Oregon Trout Stocking schedule." ODFW has a proposed schedule. It is as accurate as they know ahead of time but not all of the stockings take place due to factors out of our control like water temperature.

No Cutthroat fishing ? Kokanee ? Dolly Vardens ?

This video was meant to show our favorite rainbow trout fishing spots so that people can get into some fish around here. It doesn't mean they are the literal best spots because that's very subjective, but they are some of our most fruitful trout fishing spots. We haven't done any cutthroat or Dolly varden fishing.

None of the fish you are talking about are "nice" or "quality." Every single individual featured in this video is hideous. Do you fish for anything other than stocked (i.e. farmed) trout?

@northwestweekenders

Ай бұрын

Thanks for your opinion. You sound like a very kind individual. We have caught Surf Perch, Rock Bass, Ling Cod, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Catfish, Yellow Perch, Sturgeon, Shad, Red Rock and Dungeness Crab on our channel, so to answer your question...yes. 😁 We sure do enjoy trout fishing because it's relaxing and it's what we have time for in this busy season of our lives.

I want to complain that not a single one of your trout or the places you fish are wild trout, nor can they support a wild trout. These are just brood stalk that were dumped in an algae pond, but its a good thing because then every spinner fishing goof would be out in the wild nice places baiting wild trout to near extinction.
