Choosing The Proper Fly Fishing Leader and Tippet by Cameron Larsen - Fly Fishing Articles:
by Cameron Larsen
Selecting the correct tapered leader and tippet for the type of fishing you are about to do is crucial. Nothing can spook fish quicker than an oversized tippet for the particular situation. On the other hand, and undersized tippet can result in the fly fisher losing their trophy before they even get a photo opportunity. We will start at the very basic of leader and tippet selection and then get more specific, and hopefully conclude with enough information so we'll always have the proper leader and tippet for all upcoming fishing scenarios.

Second season
for trout
Published: Tuesday, May 23, 2006
Memorial Day weekend marks the start of the traditional camping and boating season. This year it's also the opening of the state's "second" trout season, covering most rivers and streams that flow out of the Coast Range.
Those waters are kept closed for a month after the general trout season opener in late April so juvenile salmon and steelhead have a chance to migrate unhindered by anglers. The coast trout streams open Saturday.

"SALMON SOULUTIONS"
Fight for our families, and our future Each year fewer salmon and steelhead swim in the Columbia and Snake Rivers and their tributaries. Fewer fish means fewer recreational opportunities, disappearing jobs and less money for our businesses and families in river communities like Ilwaco, Hood River and Bend. Now, some of our leaders are blaming our fishing families for low salmon and steelhead returns. It's just not right. Dams are responsible for killing as many as 90% of our salmon every season — while all fishing combined approaches less than 10%.

"FISHING CLUB MEETING A GREAT SUCESS"
At the Thursday Morning Longview Hills Fishing Club Meeting we were honored to have a guest speaker Dr. Laurie Wehkamp, a NOAA Biologist who works out of the Hartfield Science Center here in Newport. She has been a Biologis for the past 13 years. She gave a very interesting talk about the research on the costal salmon and what is happening with the salmom under these present times. We thank her very much for taking time to come to our meeting and for those club members that attended. I know we all left with alot more information about the status of the coastal salmom. The bottom picture is some of the items retrieved out of the water ways.

Sea lions have chased anglers just about long enough.

Razor clamming opens north of Florence
NEWPORT State fishery officials today announced razor clamming will open May 11 from the north jetty of the Siuslaw River near Florence to the mouth of the Columbia River.
Other beaches south of the Siuslaw River still have domoic acid levels too high to allow digging. Recent testing of razor clams by the Oregon Department of Agriculture found domoic acid levels well below the 20 parts-per-million threshold at several testing sites north of the Siuslaw River jetty at Florence.

At our recent Club Meeting, prior to going on the Boat Tour, the question was raised, what is the difference between a Boat and a Ship??? This seemingly innocent issue soon erupted into a hot debate between a bunch of Old Fart's. Before we needed to call for medical assistance, I suggested I would put the "Question" before someone who could give us a definitive answer. Here is the response I got from the USCG Station Operations Officer. The "difference" is 65 feet. In the Coast Guard & Navy, vessels are called Boats up to the length of 65 feet. At 66 feet they are formally named and called Ships. If you really want to stump the guys ask them which 4 boats are the only ones in the Coast Guard under 65 feet that are named ???? (4 of our 52 footers are all named and 1 of them is here in Newport)

Calendar on top of your website.. Whoever takes care of your calendar will be able to put the events your club is going to do, sponsor, whatever here for 3 years in advance. Someone is going to have to maintain it and put in your activities. The calendar itself is automatic and changes days and months by itself.
The calendar can be made longer or it can stay this size.. All I need is for someone to tell me what you want to do. It can display a day, week or a month. Right now we have it showing a week only. RT
It can also be passworded so that only those with the password can change it. AS I receive instructions as to how you want it ... I will set it up for you. RT

Newport News-Times: The bears are awake:Every spring, the local bear population comes out of hibernation looking for a meal after a long sleep. Occasionally, they wander into populated areas to find food that might be left available - any food. These are not tame animals and they are potentially dangerous.
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will present the residents of Lincoln County with the opportunity to learn how to live with local black bears.

NEWPORT ...... The Pacific Fishery Management Council recommended lengthy coho and Chinook seasons for sport anglers, while closing much of the coast to commercial fishing.

Oregon Fishing Report from TGF:Oregon's most complete and accurate fishing update Updated for April 28th, May 4th, 2006
Willamette Valley/Metro - Although not much attention is being directed to the Columbia River, sturgeon has drawn the attention of many anglers and people are finding results. Anglers fishing in the gorge drew a keeper per boat over the weekend and the stretch from Portland to Longview is averaging about a keeper for every 6 boats. Effort was also higher in the estuary near Astoria but will likely drop after May 1st when a short term retention closure takes place through the 12th of May. Smelt remains the bait of choice in the gorge but shrimp rules the shallower mudflats in the estuary this time of year.
