[#0000ff]Hey Cliff, good to hear from you. Sounds like you miss your old "buglemouth bass". I'll be happy to put a stamp on one and mail it to you if you give me your new address.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There are carp in some areas of Oregon, but the major "rough fish" (anything not salmon or trout) is the "pikeminnow". It was formerly called squawfish but the name was changed to be more politically correct. Since they are serious predators on salmon and steelhead...eating eggs, fry and smolts...Oregon anglers have some more colorful names for them.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]This is a pikeminnow. Are these the fish you are referring to?[/#0000ff]
