Finally I got my first Pike on the POR. Not a small Pike either it was 39''er. After Mushrooming in the mountians we stopped between Usk and Newport at small slough and pitched a variety of lures it was a small rainbow pattern Rippin Minnow that did the trick. It put up a hell of a fight. I lost another fish about about 10 min after that. No bass and later that eve we tried for Perch

What has happened to the Perch in the POR system. That has always been a good stanby for a bucket of Perch. We didn't even get a peck.

I am Camping up there all next weekend and fishing the sloughs by boat (hopefully). I am hooked, that was just to much fun.

Remember those pike that you caught eustatce? Now think about that perch question again... There's a few reasons why the POR is probably the best Pike fishery in the state right now.

I am camping this weekend with a couple of buddies. Where are we camping at, we have not dicided. I will report and let you know what I think of it, where ever we go.

As for the perch thats what I figured but that was an awfull fast of a decline. I never ever imagined a fish could decimate another fish species so fast. If this is this cause of the perch dicline, I may have to reconsider releasing the Pike from now on.

I highly doubt the pike have decimated the perch that quickly.
