southern oregon fishing portion for chinook salmon just outside the city of rose burg
with blue skies gorgeous green mountain site in crystal clear water let's join
makr and gary as they traveled through some of the most breathtaking
scenery deficient some of the premier waters of the beaver state
gary how do you want me to fish this area here
they way we fish this here
right in this real fast water here the fish kinda like to
congregate hang up right in here before they go up to this
these falls
you just want to cast up right into the middle of that
just bring a right on down through here
just thumb it out and just let it go right on down through there
did you see that osprey fly over
any day now they will take off and leave for the winter
and they say they go down the Argentina from here
