Crowds Starting to Converge on the Siuslaw


Hello Anglers!

This past week has been hit and miss on the river. A couple of trips we caught fish, and a couple of trips we were skunked. Herring is still the ticket as its producing the most consistent bite.


A couple of things came up this week that you should know:


Boaters aren't showing much courtesy when it comes to anglers with fish on. Another angler had a fish cut off when the fish ran toward another boat. When someone has a fish on, steer clear! These fish are too tough to catch to have one lost because another boat just had to keep the course they were fishing.


Also, I was recently yelled at by some angry boaters who wanted to pull out their boat right as I was putting in the water. The lady yelled at me and the man used a derogatory term aimed at me. If you are the folks who yelled at me and you're reading this, you may want to think about taking up another hobby. At the boat ramp it is, and will always be, first come, first served. The ironic thing was by the time I parked and pulled away, they were still backing down the trailer! Just a reminder to be patient at the launch. Fishing is supposed to be fun and relaxing and if it isn't, try golf.
