THE HOOK

 

 

Charley Currey, editor of "The View From The Hill", has found it necessary to make some changes in the newsletter in order to cut down on costs of publishing. Unfortunately, "The Line" column is one of the things that must go. As I already had the column prepared for this month, I am going to publish it here. Thanks to all who took a few moments to read the column over the past months.

THE LINE

We had our first meeting of September with breakfast at the Agate Beach Golf Course. There was great conversation, some committee reports and, most importantly since we are a fishing club, some reports on where the elusive salmon could be caught. Frank and Brian gave a rundown on their fishing trip to Canada, and Wayde reported on his San Diego trip. Wayde Dudley will be the guest speaker at the meeting on September 20^th, talking about gun safety.

We had a work party on September 11^th at Hebo to help the Forest Service put together the new baffles that will replace the old ones we removed from the Schooner Creek Fish Trap last month. There will be another work party on September 28^th and we will need as many volunteers as possible at this one to “put the trap back together”. Hopefully, the fish will notice the difference and be happy . . .

MEMBER OF THE MONTH: As long as we’re talking about the Schooner Creek Fish Trap, I think it would be a great time to thank all the volunteers who have given so much in checking the trap this past year as well as those who have given their time and effort at the work parties. We should be proud of the effort put forth and the service we have provided. Good job, everybody!!!

A quick hello to The Hook, John Spangler. He is back up and running (well, almost) and we’re all glad he’s doing so well.

Be sure and come to our meetings – you don’t have to be a member to attend. Check our website or take a look at The Wall in the Clubhouse.

aka Barb Dudley

We had a work party on Tuesday (September 11th) at Hebo to help the Forest Service put together the new baffles that will replace the old ones we removed from the Schooner Creek Fish Trap last month. There was lots of measuring, lifting and hauling and our group didn't do too bad for a bunch of old guys. If you wonder why I am included in these work groups, well, sometimes I do too. However, they needed a "Shadow Thrower" which is someone who blocks the sun so they can see the marks on the boards to cut. I throw a mean shadow. Also, there is the cord holder to make sure the cord doesn't get in the way of the saw. I think I was good enough at this that I could put it on my resume if I ever have to look for another job (God forbid). Also, who else would be there to record our good deeds and keep us honest that isn't busy working? Anyway, that justifies my need.

A note, however. We worked really hard removing these baffles from the Fish Trap and we worked pretty hard yesterday. Everyone is in agreement that installing them will be the most difficult job. Hopefully, we will get a good turnout when the date is set for this project as the more we have on the "assembly line", the easier it will be for everyone.

newsobserver.com | Angler finds moving by kayak is way to go: "Jim Foct looked at the 2-foot waves blowing across Pamlico Sound and was undaunted. 'We're going to catch some fish today,' he said. A 20-knot headwind whipped his words away as he loaded a bright orange kayak with rods, bait, tackle, a cooler for the day's lunch and a stringer for the day's catch. Fighting the steady wind and washboard chop, he pushed his kayak off the beach at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center and paddled toward the Bodie Island Lighthouse. The weather was far from perfect, but Foct, 45, gets only one day off each week, and he spends it fishing."

Outdoors - StatesmanJournal.com: "The last day of April wrapped up a successful year at the Schooner Creek fish trap operated by Fish and Wildlife and the Forest Service with a lot of grunt work contributed by 16 members of the Newport-based Long View Hills Fishing Club, a representative of the Mid-Coast Chapter of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders, along with several nonaffiliated volunteers beginning the past November."

This in from Frank Stout (Ducks). We will look forward to hearing more about this trip at the Thursday breakfast meeting.

Hi Guys,

Here are few photos taken during Brian's and my fishing trip to Vancouver Is., BC. #1 is Brian aboard the ferry from the mainland to Vancouver Is. #2 is a shot of one of the multiple streams we crossed. They were beautiful and the water was crystal clear. #3 is leaving Tahsis. #4 is Brian upon our arrival at Rodgers Floating Fishing Resort. #5 Some visitors arrived by boat plane. There were as many as 20+ boats fishing the same areas at any one time. #6 is small but my first salmon. #7 is of a sea otter. We watched porpoises, eagles and otter play in the area. #7 is John, Brian's cousin, with his 17 lb salmon. Unfortunately is was the largest catch of the trip but we let the big ones get away for another day. #8 The sunsets weren't too bad either. #9 is a sail boat we passed on the way home. #10 shows one of several salmon farms that we passed. Had a great time and my sincere thanks to Brian for inviting me.

As most of you know, Brian and Frank recently went on a fishing trip to Vancouver Island, Canada. Here is a brief accounting of their trip. Don't miss our next meeting, September 6th, so you can see their pictures.

Vancouver Island Fishing Trip:

Brian Hudson, Frank Stout and John Staats (Brian's cousin) fished Esperanza Inlet about halfway up the West Coast of Vancouver Island. We stayed at Rodgers Fishing Lodge, a floating camp in Port Eliza Inlet just a couple miles from the Pacific. It was a "bring your own boat package for 4 days/nights. The group left Sat, 8/25, overnited at the Everett, WA Navy Inn, made the ferry from Tsawassen to Namaimo the next morning, spent another night at Campbell River, then drove to Tahsis where the boat was launched. We had a 21 mile run to the lodge through spectacular fjiord-like scenery, and were put up three to a room at the lodge. Day one we fished a couple different areas, lost one big chinook and caught a couple small ones, learned to run the downriggers,and learned a little about boat handling and keeping things upright on the way back through some 8-9 ft swells. John was relaxing in the back while Frank and I white-knuckled our way home! The next day it rained, we fished, and it rained, and we fished, and it rained - nothing stayed dry. Day three we had issues with downrigger wire and lost some equipment, Frank caught another salmon and rock fish and we hired a guide for half-day to see if we could improve our luck. Day 4 we made a high speed (well as fast as the boat will go) run back to Tahsis for some more anchovie helmets and down rigger clips) and John immediately picked up a 17lb Chinook when we got back. All in all the fishing didn't turn out as productive as we hoped, but the traveling up and back went extremely well, timing turned out to be about right for motels, ferries, boat travel, etc., and the scenery is second to none - absolutely spectacular. More about the trip at the next meeting - Frank has pics.

chinook salmon fishing

chinook salmon fishing: "Each fall, top fishing guides from throughout the Northwest tow their boats to Oregon's Tillamook Bay, where five of the world's most fertile salmon rivers empty into the ocean. Thousands of big, chrome-bright fall chinook stack up in the bay and stage until the major autumn rains draw them into the Wilson, Trask, Tillamook, Kilchis and Miami rivers to spawn. New fish continue to arrive in the bay for four months."
