[cool][#0000ff]Interesting about Oregon's shift in their propagation program. Hope it ultimately works out well for all...except the sea lions. They get more than their share anyway.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I was remembering that when I used to fish Oregon a lot that I would start getting into the steelhead on the Alsea anytime after the first of November. September and October were good for silver salmon. They used to stack up in some of the holes waiting for the fall rains and I wore my arm out with a flyrod on those acrobatic babies. Some of them jumped clear up into the blackberries.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I understand the silvers have diminished a lot too. My fishing for them went back to the early 70's. I had some days of over 50 fish hooked...mostly legal.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Thanks again for the great report. Don't think that we discriminate against reports on non-tubing trips. Heck, we love 'em all.[/#0000ff]
