Okay Bernie--I'm sure we all want to know which place you followed the hatchery truck to for the catching of this lunker (we need the details, you know where, when, and what you were using).

Confidence in Fly Fishing by Cameron Larsen - Fly Fishing Articles:
by Cameron Larsen
For those of you who, like me, have memories of fishing that pre-date memories of school, think back to as many fishing partners and trips as you can. Even those people you only went fishing with once. Then try to recall times where the success or failure of a fly fisherman seemed to lie strictly on the fly fisherman's confidence. If you think about it in these terms, I bet you can remember numerous times when an angler's confidence, or lack thereof, either doomed them or buoyed them until they started catching fish.

From Phil Reed..
Last Monday fishing on the Siletz, fishing was good, but the catching was very slow, 10 miles of hard fishing and back breaking rowing, but good water and weather was with us.

Judge weighs in on side of salmon:

Courts - A ruling orders an immediate plan to manage water in the Klamath River Basin .......
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge has ordered the government to institute a Klamath River management plan immediately instead of waiting five more years, which means farmers could be deprived of irrigation if water levels drop low enough to threaten the survival of coho salmon.

"COOKING TIP........."

Aldered Smoked Salmon: Main Ingredient - One successful Salmon fisherman
who has prepared Salmon filets at least 1 inch thick. Rub filets with a thick Garlic Salt and Brown Sugar mixture. Let marinate for 6 or more hours.
Overnight is good. In a smokehouse or Cooker build a smoldering fire from fresh (green) Alder limbs. Fire should not be allowed to flame and will need to be tended for 6 to 8 hours. Spray bottle or squirt gun work great keeping the flames out. Place Salmon filets on racks above the open fire and allow to cure 6 to 8 hours.
Desired doneness, filet size and practice will make your Aldered Smoke Salmon very special.

Just For Information.........

I've been catching a few trout up at Big Creek in the upper lake. Itseems that no one is catching much up where the creek comes in but I've beennailing a few at the boat launch. Not as big as Bernie's (no Truck around)but they are real nice.

The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA:
Tie your flies, or egg on a fisherman with these books
By Gary Lewis For The Register-Guard

When I was a kid I read an article in 'Salmon Trout Steelheader' magazine about egg flies. Interested, I decided to ask about egg flies the next time I rode my 10-speed to Greased Line Fly Shoppe in Vancouver, Wash., my favorite hangout.
