I learned bass fishing from my ex father-in-law back in Maine sometime in the 60s [yeah, I'm an old fart]. Reared in the Pacific NW on creek [or crik as we call it in the NW] trout, bassin was a wonderful revelation. I still have a place in my heart for a fast flowing stream but creaky old bones are not made for crawling in and out of canyons.

Water in So Oregon is a somewhat rare commodity and vegetation even more so. Lakes for the most part are reservoirs so we fish rocks, rocky bluffs, rocks, rock piles and rocks. One reservoir has abundant willows at each end at full pool.

I have an ancient 16' 9" Tracker, '88 I think, which is handy because anything under 17' doesn't have to have a trailer license in Oregon. For 17 years I sported a Yamaha 50 jet because I did a bit of steelhead and salmon fishing in the Rogue River. I've given that up and 2 or 3 years ago put on a Yamaha 60 prop.

This is a terrific sight and I've already picked up a few pointers. I'm really interested in what you folks have to say--especially if its about rocks.

Welcome. I'm from southwest Oregon myself. I fish all the rocky reservoirs too. Are you talking about Emigrant Lake when you say the lake that has brush on each end? That's where I do most of my fishing.
