The dory is ready to roll at the cabin.
It was a busy day on the beach at Pacific City while we were launching in the morning.
I had the opportunity to troll bucktail flies out of Pacific City with friends a few days ago.
We fished from about 0630 to 1300 hrs – hooking 9 silvers, and brought 3 to hand. Two were wild fish released from barbless hooks, one was a hatchery fish put in the box by friend Ed Bowles.
Headed to the salmon grounds.
It was my turn to get a fly line destroyed in the prop. Last week it was Rob Perkin’s misfortune. Oh well that’s how it goes.
Rob Perkin is ready for a coho to grab with the sun rising in the east.
overall we had a very nice day. By the way the bass were there but not on the bite to the extent we usually find them. Still, we managed to catch a few to finish out the day.
Crab Spawn from the stomach of a hatchery coho caught in the ocean off Pacific City in July 2017.
Our one hatchery coho had been feeding on “crab spawn.”
Enjoying the aftermath of a good fishing day and safe landing on the beach at Cape Kiwanda.

Man, that looks amazing. Headed down to Pacific City on August 24th. Think a few coho will still be around?
Thanks…love your work

Hey Josh – I’m not sure about the regulations but the silvers should still be there and considerably larger too. Check the latest regulations with the ODFW office in Tillamook or their website close to your visit. Hope you have a great time in PC. JN
