[cool][#0000ff]Ah, yes, the good ol' Willamette. I have had the opportunity to fish it north of Salem and those backwaters hold some good bass too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Had a good friend that lived in Salem and we would throw flies and lures for the bajillions of squawfish (pikeminnows) in some stretches of the river. Some evenings they would be jumping and boiling all up and down the river.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have checked in a lot of websites for carp fishing. They have a pretty good following. Some of them offer good info on tying flies for carp and fishing them too. I used to have a link to a video on fly fishing for carp, but it is not working now. I can pass along this link to an article on carp flies.[/#0000ff]
