00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.500
It's the Terribullet Fishing Radio Show on Gold

00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:08.679
Country Radio. Here's your fishing expert and

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:17.320
host, Michael Ruffino. Welcome back to Terribullet

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.920
Fishing everybody. Alrighty, well, this is a

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.940
special weekend here in Oregon. It is really

00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:29.269
special. In fact, for Klamath Falls. it's even

00:00:29.269 --> 00:00:34.170
more special. What makes it special? Well, it's

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:38.530
because it's free fishing weekend. That's right.

00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:43.429
You get to fish free. That means you don't need

00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:46.189
a fishing license. You don't need a multipole

00:00:46.189 --> 00:00:48.570
license. You could just go out there and have

00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:51.890
fun. And that's the point of it, is to go out

00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:57.350
there and have fun. And we, here in Klamath Falls,

00:00:57.710 --> 00:01:01.630
are surrounded by water. You got Yawani. You

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:05.230
got Link River. You got the Upper Klamath. You

00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:08.629
got Lost Creek. Was it Lost Creek? Lost River?

00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:13.090
Anyway, it's not very lost. Because I found it.

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:16.129
We've got all sorts of stuff. We've got the Wood

00:01:16.129 --> 00:01:18.569
River. We've got the Williamson's River. We've

00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:25.349
got the Klamath River. We're pretty gifted here.

00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:32.670
We are a gifted people. Also, what makes Klamath

00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:39.409
Falls ultra special this weekend is the fishing

00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:45.790
event at Lake of the Woods. And I think I've

00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:48.650
told you guys over and over again about the fishing

00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:55.769
event. But at the fishing event, this is designed

00:01:55.769 --> 00:02:00.670
for kids. Kids Free Fishing Day. It's tomorrow,

00:02:00.730 --> 00:02:09.909
Saturday June 7th from 9 a .m. to 2 p .m. Now

00:02:09.909 --> 00:02:15.030
the kids will catch a fish. Dad will become jealous.

00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:18.810
Mom will be happy. Everybody's going to be enjoying

00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:24.550
it because they put in thousands of fish. And

00:02:24.550 --> 00:02:29.349
they do it in two very specific areas. One, they

00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:32.849
put it in a big giant -like pool. You know, it's

00:02:32.849 --> 00:02:38.729
basically a holding tank. And what happens is

00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:42.689
that that holding tank is for the children six

00:02:42.689 --> 00:02:46.250
and under, and for those with special needs.

00:02:47.389 --> 00:02:51.969
And you can bring your own rod if you want, but

00:02:51.969 --> 00:02:55.780
they'll have sticks with you know, line on it

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:59.240
and hooks and you'll be able to catch with what

00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.699
they have. To watch a two - or three -year -old

00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:12.439
catch a fish. To see, you know, a child with

00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:19.680
Down syndrome or autism catch a fish. Now, you're

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.599
going to hear a lot of joy and... You might hear

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.879
some screams. You'll definitely hear some screams.

00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:42.000
It's magical. It's the best. This is such a well

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.039
-done event by Lake of the Woods. They have ODFW

00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.819
there. Smokey the Bear will be there. The Boy

00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:51.599
Scouts will be there. They'll clean the fish

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.240
for the kids. So after they catch their trophy

00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.000
size fish, because they put the big ones in here,

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.560
and they can take it over to the Boy Scouts at

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.800
the cleaning station. They'll clean the fish.

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.120
Then they can take it over to the cooking area

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.780
where they'll cook the fish for them. This is

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:22.629
a true catch and cook event. Really, I mean,

00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:27.970
it's a party. Saturday at Lake of the Woods is

00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:39.490
a party, and it is a happy party. Can you imagine?

00:04:39.589 --> 00:04:43.449
I mean, just for a moment, wherever you are listening,

00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:49.949
you can hear the children's laughter, their screams.

00:04:50.649 --> 00:04:56.949
the parents' joy. If we had shutters sounds of

00:04:56.949 --> 00:04:59.870
cameras nowadays, you know, like we did in the

00:04:59.870 --> 00:05:02.449
old days, you'd hear a lot of shutters. Click,

00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:10.269
click, click, click, click. It's amazing. And

00:05:10.269 --> 00:05:13.610
the kids get to, I mean, you want to have to

00:05:13.610 --> 00:05:15.250
buy lunch because the kids are going to be catching

00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:19.110
lunch for you, right? So they'll catch it, clean

00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:24.170
it, cook it. It's a free day. It's a free day.

00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:28.209
You can't go wrong. You just can't go wrong.

00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:30.970
And the kids are just going and it's going to

00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:36.050
be a beautiful day tomorrow. The water is beautiful

00:05:36.050 --> 00:05:40.689
and it's just the weather is gorgeous. You can

00:05:40.689 --> 00:05:45.589
have Mount Brown right there in front of you.

00:05:45.649 --> 00:05:48.490
To your right, you're going to have Mount McLaughlin.

00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:51.170
You're going to have it reflecting off of the

00:05:51.170 --> 00:06:01.779
water. And you will just, well, it is the happiest

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:09.920
day of the year, is tomorrow. And I'm hopefully

00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.220
going to be there. If I'm not, I'll be over at

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:19.519
Moore Park. Moore Park, the fishing club, will

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.300
teach us how to use our fly fishing. rods better.

00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:27.560
But either way, we'll either be at Lake of the

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:34.759
Woods or Moorpark. This weekend, hopefully I'll

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.660
have something delivered. You guys know that

00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:42.079
I don't drive now and because of my neurological

00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:53.189
issues and they cause, you know, events. episodes

00:06:53.189 --> 00:06:59.129
that can that that can put me and others in danger

00:06:59.129 --> 00:07:07.089
if i'm driving so i bought a bike i know i bought

00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:12.769
a bike so on my youtube channel you're going

00:07:12.769 --> 00:07:16.110
to see a new playlist and for those of you that

00:07:16.110 --> 00:07:18.649
have not looked at my youtube channel terrible

00:07:18.649 --> 00:07:23.889
at fishing I have thousands of videos. I mean,

00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:26.209
you can binge watch till your heart's delight.

00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:31.529
And I have a bunch of playlists from beginners

00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:35.709
to advanced to trips, specific lakes. I think

00:07:35.709 --> 00:07:38.269
I have a whole playlist on Southeast Oregon Lakes

00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:41.389
where I visited each lake and give you sort of

00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:44.709
a summary of all the, you know, of those lakes.

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:50.779
There's a lot of things on terrible at fishing

00:07:50.779 --> 00:07:55.240
So the beginner series we also put on the YouTube

00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.240
station or not the YouTube the Roku station Klamath

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.540
Community Television, and you can watch all those

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:09.980
on Roku so if you're if you have a Roku look

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:14.319
up Klamath Community Television And you will

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.410
see you know you know, that playlist. It'll teach

00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:24.230
you how to fish here in Klamath Falls or anywhere

00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:26.930
for that matter. It's actually pretty cool. I

00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:30.110
love that series, that playlist. This playlist

00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:34.070
is going to be called Bike Fishing. I know, Bike

00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:38.350
Fishing. And since I can't drive far distances,

00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:44.169
what I did is I got an electric pedal assist

00:08:44.169 --> 00:08:51.820
bike And so this bike will allow me to get to

00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:57.320
areas on the rivers and lakes that are local.

00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:00.460
So instead of going to Lake of the Woods all

00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:04.360
the time, which I miss them a lot. I have a lot

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.019
of friends. I know all the owners, the employees.

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:14.179
I mean, they're like family. I'll be sort of

00:09:14.509 --> 00:09:17.509
Working the area here and going to Lake of the

00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:19.330
Woods every once in a while because you know

00:09:19.330 --> 00:09:25.690
get catch a ride But that is going to be interesting

00:09:25.690 --> 00:09:33.710
so as I continue to I Mean basically this is

00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:37.110
bike rides and and and walking distance for all

00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:41.029
of us here at Klamath Falls That I'll be fishing

00:09:42.669 --> 00:09:45.029
You're going to actually, you know, it's going

00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:49.649
to change, you know terrible at fishing a little

00:09:49.649 --> 00:09:53.090
bit Where you know, I'm still a bass fisherman,

00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:57.950
but there's a lot more trout Okay, and you know

00:09:57.950 --> 00:10:01.490
as I learn fly fishing a lot more fly fishing

00:10:01.490 --> 00:10:09.009
So it's going to be quite the Quite the adventure

00:10:09.009 --> 00:10:13.830
for terrible fishing and for me So this new bike

00:10:13.830 --> 00:10:18.830
is going to arrive and It's big. It's a big boy

00:10:18.830 --> 00:10:24.289
Because I'm a big guy we need I Think I think

00:10:24.289 --> 00:10:28.450
I bought a bike over at I Don't know Walmart

00:10:28.450 --> 00:10:31.309
or someplace like that several years ago. It

00:10:31.309 --> 00:10:37.309
was like eight years ago and My illnesses were

00:10:37.309 --> 00:10:40.549
just starting and I was gaining weight and when

00:10:40.549 --> 00:10:46.210
I got on the bike and both tires exploded yeah

00:10:46.210 --> 00:10:48.750
that didn't make you feel good didn't make me

00:10:48.750 --> 00:10:53.389
feel good when both tires explode on you i mean

00:10:53.389 --> 00:10:56.350
at that moment you feel like you weigh a billion

00:10:56.350 --> 00:11:01.830
pounds so i got i got i got a i got a bike that

00:11:01.830 --> 00:11:08.289
can handle fat people saying i'm a big boy but

00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:11.480
i'm hoping i can lose some of this weight I'm

00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.320
working so hard on it, but with all the medications,

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.179
you know anybody who takes a lot of meds knows

00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:20.519
that some meds make you gain weight and then

00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.179
then you're fighting the meds, so But anyway,

00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:30.240
we're working on it working on it We're I always

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:35.139
say we it's really me. It's really me but my

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:43.620
My wife, she graduated college this week. When

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:46.039
I moved here and retired, everybody wanted to

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:51.320
get smarter. My wife is now a college graduate

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:57.279
with a bachelor's degree from OIT. I'm very proud

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.279
of her. She did really, really well. Straight

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.740
A's, except for one B. She got her first B this

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:09.740
last semester in advanced statistics, which I

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:11.899
remember that class in college, although back

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:15.299
when I took it was 1983. We didn't have these

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:18.980
really cool calculators. Computers were barely

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:27.259
invented. So, you know, it was harder. But I

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:30.059
took advanced statistics in college, but it was

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:34.860
1983, if you can imagine that. But Cathy, you

00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:42.960
know, she got her degree and she's got a new

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:47.860
job. So that's great. And then my sister's getting

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:52.879
married here in July. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:59.159
Oh well. Fishing this weekend. Yeah, we're going

00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.929
to go over in the next segment. stocking reports.

00:13:04.470 --> 00:13:08.549
And when we go over the stocking reports, I need

00:13:08.549 --> 00:13:12.269
you to think about the legal size stuff. You

00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:17.850
know, you got to chase legal size stocking because

00:13:17.850 --> 00:13:21.190
it's big fish that eat those smaller rainbow

00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:27.080
trout. And you're going to use bait. that mirrors

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:32.559
rainbow trout. At the Gun and Knife Show, I was

00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:38.419
there, and I sold out a spoon that I painted

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:42.779
in a color -shifting rainbow pattern. Spoons

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:45.820
work really well, and there's so many different

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:49.340
ways you can fish a spoon. But that spoon, ugh,

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:53.320
I had 19 of them I painted, and they all sold

00:13:53.320 --> 00:14:00.080
out. And it was definitely the magic lure, I

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:06.120
think, for catching these bigger trout. Whether

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:12.820
it be a rainbow, a red band, or a brown, those

00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:19.320
are great trout to target for this. Go to Four

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:23.379
Mile. Oh my goodness. This is going to be such

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:28.240
a great weekend. There'll be no state troopers

00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.620
on the lake because they're the only ones that

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:34.960
ask you about fishing licenses. Sheriffs, they

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.799
want to make sure that you're safe. But state

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.159
troopers, they ask you for your fishing license.

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:48.840
This weekend, won't happen. So, stay tuned because

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.159
in the next segment we're going to talk about

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.700
We're going to go over stocking reports. And

00:14:55.700 --> 00:14:58.019
I want you to pay attention to the legal size

00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:01.759
stockings. Alright? Take care. We'll be back

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:18.250
after these messages. One man dared to launch

00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:20.970
a burger joint in the void of space. I opened

00:15:20.970 --> 00:15:23.190
Galactic Grill. Flame broiled bliss and zero

00:15:23.190 --> 00:15:25.990
gravity. But nobody knows we're here. Not even

00:15:25.990 --> 00:15:27.889
the guy from Maintenance Deck C, and he lives

00:15:27.889 --> 00:15:29.950
next door. Enter Commander Jenny of the Gold

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.559
on Friday night. Terrible at fishing but it feels

00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.580
just right. Welcome back to terrible at fishing.

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:49.019
I know this is the part you wanted to, you know,

00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:53.179
you were looking forward to. Where are the fish?

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.269
All right. You know, it's amazing with this show.

00:16:56.850 --> 00:16:58.809
I want to keep it all about fishing, although

00:16:58.809 --> 00:17:01.830
you're probably going to hear about my terrible

00:17:01.830 --> 00:17:08.809
at mountain biking in the coming months and terrible

00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:12.609
at bike fishing, but we're working on it. It's

00:17:12.609 --> 00:17:14.849
going to be interesting. I bought a lot of gear

00:17:14.849 --> 00:17:17.049
so I don't hurt myself too much when I fall.

00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:21.930
All right, so let's go to the southeast zone.

00:17:22.589 --> 00:17:28.589
on ODFW and let's look at see what they're going

00:17:28.589 --> 00:17:31.869
to be stocking. Now you know Lake of the Woods

00:17:31.869 --> 00:17:38.009
is going to be stocked actually today and that

00:17:38.009 --> 00:17:43.910
was put into those pools and those areas. They

00:17:43.910 --> 00:17:50.089
got 670 legals and 600 trophies. The trophies,

00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:52.750
a lot of them, were put in that little pool for

00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:58.210
the little kids. They got 1 ,270 fish. After

00:17:58.210 --> 00:18:01.769
2 o 'clock tomorrow, after the event is over,

00:18:02.230 --> 00:18:09.990
they release those fish into the lake. All those

00:18:09.990 --> 00:18:12.609
extra fish that the kids didn't catch, and there's

00:18:12.609 --> 00:18:15.029
a lot of them, will be released right at the

00:18:15.029 --> 00:18:23.150
main dock. Phillips Reservoir will get, let's

00:18:23.150 --> 00:18:25.650
see, when will they get these? That's a lot of

00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:31.950
fish. So they got, or they got, this is past

00:18:31.950 --> 00:18:38.269
tense, 9 ,500 legals at Phillips Reservoir. 9

00:18:38.269 --> 00:18:47.980
,500. That is a ton of legals. Let's go to Now,

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:55.019
I think pretty much every week this month in

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:58.640
June, Lake of the Woods is getting stock every

00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.700
week. So, you really can't go wrong with that,

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.420
right? You really can't. So, let's look at the

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:10.660
southwest zone. Let's see where we got some of

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:13.240
the lakes. Medco Pond. I keep telling you guys

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.500
about Medco Pond. Medgo Pond is a great place

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:21.319
to catch fish. They got 2 ,000 legals last week.

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:26.240
2 ,000 legals last week. Fish Lake got 3 ,500

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.799
legals last week. So Fish Lake got 3 ,500 legals.

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.160
You know those tiger trout are going to be hitting

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:40.160
those babies. Great stuff. Hyatt Reservoir got

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:49.670
7 ,450. 7450. That's a ton at Hyatt. What a great

00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:53.490
place to start hitting them. The largemouth bass

00:19:53.490 --> 00:19:58.650
there is going to be eating those guys. That's

00:19:58.650 --> 00:20:09.730
a great spot. Let's look at Fish Lake. Fish Lake

00:20:09.730 --> 00:20:13.339
2500. I wonder why they're into two zones there

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:18.460
huh i don't know i don't know look at the central

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:26.680
zone central zone all right lost lake uh no no

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.380
that's really out of the way uh we don't we don't

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:32.880
fish lost lake too much so they get a lot of

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:40.759
stuff though they get a lot of stuff i'm missing

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:51.299
One here. I'm missing one. Is it Southwest? Did

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:53.980
I miss them? Maybe they weren't getting stock.

00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:02.799
Maybe they weren't getting stock. Huh. Let's

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:08.920
type it in. Lost. Lost Creek Reservoir. That's

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.869
where I was looking for. It's a big reservoir.

00:21:12.089 --> 00:21:14.490
Really, really good. Yeah, they're not getting

00:21:14.490 --> 00:21:17.289
anything. Let's see. Well, let's see if we'll

00:21:17.289 --> 00:21:21.769
go an extra week on them. Yeah, they're...oh

00:21:21.769 --> 00:21:25.670
my goodness. All right. June 16th through 20th.

00:21:25.670 --> 00:21:29.410
That week. The week of June 16th. Lost Creek

00:21:29.410 --> 00:21:32.390
Reservoir, which is a massive reservoir right

00:21:32.390 --> 00:21:38.109
on the Rogue. Not very far away. Okay. It is

00:21:38.109 --> 00:21:43.109
10 3 ,000 legals and 1 ,500 trophies. So it's

00:21:43.109 --> 00:21:47.569
11 ,500 that week. June 16th, they're getting

00:21:47.569 --> 00:21:56.569
over 11 ,000 plants in that area. I always forget

00:21:56.569 --> 00:22:03.549
Willow. Oh, here it is. Willow Creek Reservoir,

00:22:03.589 --> 00:22:07.670
which is also called Willow Lake. I love this

00:22:07.670 --> 00:22:10.720
little lake. really do, but they're not getting

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.759
anything, are they? Let's back it up. Let's see

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.880
if we can back it up an extra week. They had

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.920
to get something fairly recently. They did. So

00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.759
two weeks ago, they got 4 ,000 Legals and 1 ,500

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.740
Trophies, which for that little lake, there's

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:33.980
still a bunch of fish in there working that area.

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:38.490
And they're in a post -spawn. It's a great bass

00:22:38.490 --> 00:22:41.670
body right now. If you're over at Willow Lake,

00:22:41.930 --> 00:22:46.849
so if you want to catch some rainbows, great.

00:22:47.349 --> 00:22:51.049
They got it. If you want to catch a lot of panfish,

00:22:51.250 --> 00:22:57.130
they got it. But their bass is usually on the

00:22:57.130 --> 00:23:02.509
eastern shore. and they have those points too

00:23:02.509 --> 00:23:05.589
that work really, really well. So Willow Lake

00:23:05.589 --> 00:23:10.109
is a great, great lake for you guys to explore

00:23:10.109 --> 00:23:14.130
and to hit. It is one of my favorite little lakes

00:23:14.130 --> 00:23:21.410
to hit. You know, this look, even though Drew

00:23:21.410 --> 00:23:32.599
Reservoir and Dog Lake is pretty far away, They're

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.519
not getting anything, so I don't know if they

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:41.500
stock it. No, they don't. Dog Lake is a great

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:45.799
little lake. It's over by Drew's Reservoir, and

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:51.359
Dog Lake does not allow motors, or at least gas

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.559
motors. I think they allow electric, but not

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:59.480
gas. But it's a small lake, and if you have a

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.420
kayak or even a fishing float or something like

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:09.700
that. The two -hour drive to Dog Lake is really

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:16.079
a worthwhile drive. The lily pads are a great

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.200
place for top water, depending on the water temperature.

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:33.059
I haven't been out there yet. Let me go into

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:37.400
all zones here. And we're going to see, nope,

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:53.140
yeah, Gerber. Now Gerber, also, a little creek

00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:57.960
now. Gerber is a great, great lake right now.

00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:02.980
So, you know, east of town. Gerber is a great

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:07.579
lake and you want to go pan fishing right there,

00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:10.740
you know, right in front of the dam. Great area.

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:14.019
They do have good bass this year because they

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:19.799
planted a bunch of bass from Topsy over there.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:23.500
They got bluegill too, pumpkin seed sunfish,

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:27.180
the prettiest fish you could possibly catch all

00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:31.480
over Gerber. Gerber is a great lake for you guys

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.759
to just say it also Thompson Reservoir Thompson

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.339
is about two hour drive to Although Gerber is

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:43.380
about an hour and a half hour about an hour away,

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:49.400
but the Thompson is about two hours and Thompson

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.099
is a great bass lake really good and it is just

00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:56.210
busting right now Also Willow Valley, if you

00:25:56.210 --> 00:25:59.710
go south of Gerber, Willow Valley is just on

00:25:59.710 --> 00:26:03.029
this side of the border of California. That is

00:26:03.029 --> 00:26:07.390
a great bass lake too. And then of course Lost

00:26:07.390 --> 00:26:14.029
River. You know, you go over to the Springs Park

00:26:14.029 --> 00:26:18.170
over at Bonanza and work that river right there

00:26:18.170 --> 00:26:21.109
where the hot springs are. Really good for bass

00:26:21.109 --> 00:26:25.250
fishing. Really, I mean, we got a lot of good

00:26:25.250 --> 00:26:28.269
stuff. This is a free fishing weekend. Don't

00:26:28.269 --> 00:26:31.269
forget, you can take your friends, the kids,

00:26:31.710 --> 00:26:36.569
everybody out to the water and picnic it and

00:26:36.569 --> 00:26:38.650
have, you know, there's a good little Mexican

00:26:38.650 --> 00:26:43.750
restaurant in Bonanza, I found, and, you know,

00:26:43.809 --> 00:26:46.529
wow, it's hard, it's easy to find because it's

00:26:46.529 --> 00:26:50.940
the only one, but Bonanza is very small. You

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:54.359
know, pack a lunch and have a good time. Go to

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:58.539
Lake of the Woods on Saturday and have the kids

00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:02.259
catch your lunch. And they'll clean it and cook

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:09.240
it for you right there. What a... This is a good

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.900
weekend. This is a really, really, really good

00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:17.019
weekend. You know, I'm bummed a little bit because

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:24.230
I can't drive, but... It's just the way it is.

00:27:24.609 --> 00:27:27.849
It's tough getting old, I guess. You know, my

00:27:27.849 --> 00:27:30.789
brain started breaking, you know, years ago.

00:27:31.509 --> 00:27:34.390
And my poor little brother, I have a younger

00:27:34.390 --> 00:27:37.150
brother, I have two younger brothers, but my

00:27:37.150 --> 00:27:41.390
brother that's just a step below me, he's suffering

00:27:41.390 --> 00:27:46.549
from dementia. And so... So he's having a hard

00:27:46.549 --> 00:27:51.069
time. You don't need to have more than one topic

00:27:51.069 --> 00:27:53.589
of conversation with him, because you're going

00:27:53.589 --> 00:27:59.630
to repeat it in five minutes. So it makes conversations

00:27:59.630 --> 00:28:04.609
repetitive, but easy. It really does. So then

00:28:04.609 --> 00:28:08.109
I have another brother, half brother, a lot younger

00:28:08.109 --> 00:28:13.210
than me. Last time I heard he was down in Long

00:28:13.210 --> 00:28:21.930
Beach. But it's a beautiful weekend. And you

00:28:21.930 --> 00:28:26.269
know what? There's a big community yard sale

00:28:26.269 --> 00:28:31.309
down in Keno this weekend, too. I mean, I saw

00:28:31.309 --> 00:28:34.289
it over on Facebook. I mean, who knows? I mean,

00:28:34.289 --> 00:28:35.930
you could probably get some good fish and stuff.

00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:39.509
Fish and stuff always sells quick. It just does.

00:28:40.450 --> 00:28:44.150
So always look for good fish and stuff. That's

00:28:44.150 --> 00:28:46.910
what I do. I look for good fishing. I end up

00:28:46.910 --> 00:28:49.630
giving it away anyway, but I mean, it's fun to

00:28:49.630 --> 00:28:55.569
give away a gift. In fact, this weekend, the

00:28:55.569 --> 00:29:00.150
gift to you from the state of Oregon is free

00:29:00.150 --> 00:29:06.609
fishing. The gift from Lake of the Woods is the

00:29:06.609 --> 00:29:09.430
kids' free fishing, and it's a catch and cook.

00:29:10.250 --> 00:29:15.269
The gift to you watching the smiles on the children's

00:29:15.269 --> 00:29:17.809
face whether they're yours or somebody else's

00:29:17.809 --> 00:29:21.170
it won't matter you know bring some chairs and

00:29:21.170 --> 00:29:25.130
just sit down you know at the marina and just
