white43, you'd get to fish the Umpqua River mainstem and also the S. Fork Umpqua for good smallmouth.

MontanaMoose,
S. Fork Umpqua??? Where does this Fork come into the Umpqua? Is it very long? Where does it originate?
Do the Smallmouth migrate into it from the main river or is it stocked?
Thanks,
Doug :D
Doug,
Yes, and at the junction of the N. and S. forks, forming the mainstem...oh, about 20 minutes from the house.
Counting all the bends, I'll guess the S. Fork is prolly 40 miles to where one can't fish anymore....there are resident smallies plus more move in from the mainstem in a couple of months.
The S. Fork originates in the mountains to the N.E. of Canyonville if I'm not mistaken. I don't believe anyone would go to the trouble of stocking this drainage with smallies since it's becoming overrun with them. Pods of 1,000 have been sighted. Nice river. Needs fished by you.

It sounds kinda SCARY! Like a bunch of Pihranas!!!!
I'll tie a rope to a tree and attach it to my waist, so if I fall in they won't GET ME!!!! :shock:
MontanaMoose, WHICH species of fish do you think is the best breeder, Brook Trout or Smallmouth?
Thanks for the information on the S. Fork!
Is it snowing where U R??
Doug :D
Good grief, it's snowing there? No, not snowing here..I wish it would though.
Careful which tree you tye yourself too...the man eating squirrels will just use it to drag you up into their nests to feed to their 12 lb. (at birth) cubs.
When you say best breeder between brooks and smallies, do you mean like technique?
:))
SQUIRRELS???? :shock:
WHICH FISH MAKES MORE BABIES????
Your not getting me in trouble!
Doug :oops:
My vote goes to the Penobscot, family has a camp ten minutes from there. We'll just say that it has been a while since I have even bothered to try and catch a trout in the state of Maine. Lots of fiesty fish, big and small.
Yes, I would take you personally or mark the best FF areas on a map.
What I would not do is publish an article in a magazine or on a web site.

It's a three hour drive but it has to be the Current River
Smallmouth I would guess...and you were born in trouble... :))
