Re: Big D Flatheads

How far up river are these? I work at Portland Generating Station, and would love to try for these off our discharge tunnel. Are they up that far, and any tips? Thanks

A great predator and excellent table fare

I stand corrected by the way too smart chemist and the nanook of the north guy:D All fish are evasive when I'm involved, although I can catch fish on worms:p

This link from 2009 sez it all.
They are right up there with snake heads.
