Oregon Bass and Panfish club were the ones that showed me the way when I was young. It didn't take though. I moved on with the pursuit of salmonids the rest of my life.

I have used under 12 lb test for coho in the past. Even landed a few big Chinook on the bank. But you definitely need room to fight them. And if you are not maniacal. Best to go with the 20 lb test. 😊
And I should add. 20 lb test could still be deemed heavy for certain River conditions. So I would go with fluorocarbon leader or drop shot.

I wonder if they have restored public access to the holding ponds?

Well, they sure have hit the Cedar Creek hatchery.

There were many of them holding in that area a month ago. You might consider further up Eagle Creek.

So much change will continue to happen out there as the temperature of the oceans continue to rise.

Just saw a news report from Alaska. I think it was snow crab, they were talking about 1 billion of them gone missing. Season is shut down. WTF?

Willamette River. I've seen many people on Fishbrain showing smallmouth bass they have caught in and around downtown. We used to go down along the railroad tracks behind the Oaks Park skating rink to where a pipe is under the dike. It fills the Oak Park bottoms on the other side. Carp go through there and spawn in the spring. If you want a good fight on light tackle. Use corn. There are some massive ones there. Also lots of panfish to be had and catfish.

Gotta figure that from these dry times. One would think there are plenty of fresh ones waiting in the wings? He did catch a number of bright ones earlier on.

My buddy lives there. Fishing out of his boat trolling Colorado spinners. He talked to fish and game to inform him that this is the best run of Chinook in many years. They are stacked up in the river.

Coffenberry lake is more in the Seaside area. And there is a smaller lake below that. Both were receiving trophy trout about a month ago.

If you are into scrambling out onto the jetties such as Newport or Columbia, you can get by with a standard steelhead setup casting into the ocean side for delicious, tasty surf perch.
