Central Oregon Camping Trip - July 20-24, 2010

Fished in Lake Billy Chinook with Bonnie.
She sat in the shade reading while I fished. It seemed perfect.
Wednesday July 21st.
Caught 4 Bass using worms, kept 2 and had them for dinner. Small but tasty.



Bass- They were quite small.


 I also fished in Lava Lake southwest of Bend with Bonnie in a rented canoe. It was an extremely nice day but the fish were not biting. The water is super clear. Central Oregon is paradise. I was really happy.

Fishing with Steve at Chamber's Creek Saturday September 11, 2010


Once again Steve and I go to Chamber's Creek. We had a few nibbles and one strike, but no fish were caught.

 Lots of trees overhead make casting a bit tricky.


Catching Pacific Razor Clams with Ellen and Patty

Clamming with Ellen and Patty north of Seaside, in March, April and May
We did about about 8 clamming trips this year.
The limit is 15, we usually get about a dozen per person
Yes I know clamming is not fishing, but it's my blog and I'll do whatever I want.


 Part of the fun is a beach fire


The perfect meal, except no fried clams.


Here is one nice bucket of fresh Pacific Razor Clams. Plump and Juicy. Over the course of the summer Ellen, Patty and I got over 160 clams. We also went clamming with H and his step-dad Ron.

Fishing In Willamette Park, Saturday morning, November 13, 2010

Your typical Carp. A perfectly respectable fish, but I wouldn't want to eat one.

Fishing with Steve in Scappoose

Fishing in Scappoose under the tree house, at the confluence of Lizzy creek and the North fork of Scappoose Creek (which happens to occur just past the bridge, near the base of the tree house).
 The first catch was a crawdad, which makes excellent bait.

 Steve caught a perfect trout under the overhanging bush, at the base of the tree house

 And then he caught another one.

It was a very good day.

Tom and Steve's fishing blog - up and running!

This is Tom Houha's and Steve Lehman's official fishing blog.


This Fine looking carp was caught off the dock at Williamette park on Monday November 30, 2010, using nice big plump nightcrawlers.

 Here is the dock at Willamette Park. An ideal place to fish.

American Lake in Tacoma. Steve and I fished there Wednesday Nov 10, 2010.  

We thought it was a small trout. turns out its a baby salmon

 Steve is a happy fellow

 Not a bad place to hang out.
