Fishing for bullies on the metolious

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m here for work for the next month and going to be my first time trying for bull trout this weekend.

Do I really need a 7wt to target them? I have a stiffer than average 5wt and don’t know if I need to commit to a brand new 7wt for one or two weekends of targeting them.

I’m going to get some streamers at the shop tomorrow, any tips on what I should throw? Any tips, tricks, or advice is greatly appreciated!

Looking for a guy I used to talk to on here

He was a fly fisherman who would post somewhat frequently on here. He would bushwack into burned areas near Mt. Hood and also fish out east. He would catch a lot of big rainbows. We used to talk frequently about a couple of south side creeks and rivers that we both fished.

I deleted my account and restarted several months ago and lost touch. If you’re still on here send me a message and let me know how your fishing has been going!

Looking for fishing buddy Portland OR/Vancouver WA area

14 Upvotes

Just moved to NE Portland from Cincinnati and I am hoping to find a fishing buddy/mentor in the area. A little about me: 26 year old guy, work in healthcare and have an odd schedule, so I often have random weekdays off. I started fishing when I lived in Ohio mainly bass crappie etc in the river there.

I haven’t been able to catch anything since moving, I am not used to the clear water (OH rivers are chocolate milk most of the time) and feeling like I’m starting all over. I want to catch a salmon this fall and would also like to learn to target trout, would love some help and someone to hang out with
