Fishing for native redband trout has been good on the Chewaucan, Blitzen and lower Owyhee rivers. Anglers have been consistently catching trout in Malheur Reservoir using a variety of methods. Pole Creek Reservoir is holding some nice trout up to 18 inches. ...
In many regions, shiners are the most widely available type of minnow and are sold at most bait shops. Creek chubs, shad, and red tails also make good live bait for walleye. If you have a cast net, you can catch your own bait, but if not, head to your local bait shop and they ...
There are models with colored hooks, models for crawlers, leeches, 2 hook harnesses and now there are even new models for fishing with big minnows like Creek Chubs and Redtails. All I have to do is open one of the individually packaged rigs, trim it to my favorite length and start ...

North Fork Feather (Beldon to Poe) Flows are high below Rock creek. Wading will be difficult but warm weather will bring out hatches of mayflies and the start of stoneflies. Nymphing runs along the edges will find trout. Look for trout rising in pools and tailouts where the current is ...
Creek chubs are very aggressive for their size. 2 years ago while fishing the golf course in the spring, one pond was producing creek chub after creek chub for both me and the guy I was with. They were going crazy for a HJ-6 while constantly jerking it. ...
“river mix”. It is a blend of rainbows, dace, lake shiners, little creek chubs and even a few small redtails. I’ve been sorting out the best sizes for jigging and putting the larger ones in a sperate tank. I’ll use them next week when I have some big fish hunting on the ...
