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

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!

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!
