Standard issue bluegill looks like.
Have never been to Oregon. Flew in & out of the Seattle Wa. Area several times... Naval Air Station Whidby Island. Never there long enough to do any fishing. Same with Adak Alaska.
The northwest has a lot of beautiful country...at least from the air.😃
I was stationed at NAS LeMoore, south & a bit west of Fresno in the 60's. The Kings river was excellent bass fishing at the time. The coast was about 3 hours away (on the roads at that time) surf fishing for strippers was productive, so it was worth it.
Then went to San Diego for a few years. Really enjoyed the fishing there.
Then to Maryland for 3 years. The Chesapeak bay was awesome for fishing.
Then back to Calif. Near San Jose and the delta was an easy drive. Caught a lot of strippers. Didn't even know there were salmon in the same waters😂🤣
Then to Corpus Christi Tex. For my last tour. Ran shrimp boats there for a short time, did a lot of fishing.
Retired & find myself in Wy.
So I'm game for just about anything. Would genuinely like to see some of your state. I've heard nothing but good things about it.
😁
After the last two winters, it might not take much to make me not want to come back!
I'll definitely keep you in mind.
Am a little enamored with the hunting here though...🙄
Retired US NAVY 1983. Had heart attack Dec 2018. Am on a restricted diet. One of the things I can eat is salmon.Fortunately I love salmon, and fishing. However I live in Wyoming where the salmon fishing is skimpy, and am looking to take a couple of trips to the west coast each year to fill the freezer. Any assistance, advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
