Not to say there aren't any other swimbaiters there, but one of the best on this site is Colby. I'm sure he could help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like youll be up by the Columbia, world class smallie fishing there used to be a topshelf swimbaits video shot on the big C, small swimbaits but toad smallies. Most lakes/ponds OR offer fish over 5-6lbs, some even bigger 8#+. I have heard of some lakes a ways into WA with good tiger musky fishing too.

FishStalkerDave Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm also relocating to the Portland area, from Phoenix, AZ. I was wondering the same, and now I know. I haven't been into swimbaits for long, but they are quickly getting more used from my backpack. Maybe we can all hook up and noob-fest it.

jcolo4sho Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Oregon has some great salmon steelhead fishing. Some big sturgeon too. Some good smallmouth fishing too over by John Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbypearson Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 ssooo creeeepy.... lol Oregon sucks! There's some 10's not a lot. If you're North fish smallies, or go to Washington (better fisheries), if you're South fish green. Oh, and more importantly don't call it a 'scene'.
