Their full intentions by doing that, via constantly aiming and shooting off water cannons at the boat, were quite obvious. http://salem-news.com/articles/january072010/whaler_dp.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january072010/whaler_dp.php Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:33:00 PST In an unprovoked attack captured on film, the Japanese security ship Shonan Maru No. 2 deliberately rammed and caused catastrophic damage to the Sea Shepherd trimaran Ady Gil.

The sea along its coast has always been a good provider, and the most important gift that that sea has offered up is the Pacific salmon that once filled its rivers and streams from far west of Alaska to Central California. That is changing. This year the return of Sockeye to the Fraser River collapsed and finally the Canadian government is ordering judicial inquiry into why this happened. http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:07:00 PST Creekside Flyfishing will be hosting a winter steelhead seminar this Saturday, November 21st.

The first good push of fish usually arrives here in early November. This year’s returns are so minimal that Chinook fishing in this section of water is totally closed. However, my love for this section of water is far more about the experience of being there than putting meat on the bank. http://salem-news.com/articles/november052009/outdoors_gr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november052009/outdoors_gr.php Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:47:00 PST Boaters with registration decals for “08” or “09” on their boat will soon be getting their courtesy registration renewal notice in the mail.

As a kid (and as a young adult) I can clearly remember spending ocean trips leaning over the rail feeding the fish. That exhausting queezy feeling just wasn’t something I looked forward to repeating. However, I also like fresh fish in my freezer, so a compromise had to be made. My buddy Scott recently organized a tuna trip off the Oregon Coast. This caused me to face my fears head on. I learned that the days of Dramamine are now over, and the new anti-motion sickness drug of choice is called Meclazine. http://salem-news.com/articles/august282009/ocean_fishing_gr_8-28-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august282009/ocean_fishing_gr_8-28-09.php Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:20:00 PDT Anglers may keep an additional coho salmon on the Willamette River and its tributaries above Willamette Falls under new rules adopted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
