Boat Owners: Plugged Carburetor Jets
due to Ethanol Solids – How to fix and
options on gas
Paul Luhrs posted this on Facebook:
Pull carb, remove bowl, remove flat blade screw plug, remove
tiny jet, blow out jet, reverse process to reassemble takes 10
min to fix... and change fuel filter / water separator if you
haven’t already. There is a brass flat plug on the top of the
carb behind throttle drill it to remove it and access idle
adjustment screw. This will remedy EVERY mercury kicker
complaint out there. (I don’t recommend drilling your
carburetor unless you are sure you know what your doing)

Reel Maintenance with Scott Rodriguez - Senior Reel Technician for
Okuma USA
There are products like Salt Away that can be used to remove salt off reels.
Main use is to run it through boat motors to remove salt after running boat
in salt water.
Only authorized repair shops can get Okuma parts. Reason a lot of local
reel repair doesn't like Okuma.

What You Need When You’re Get Hooked
http://www.scout.com/outdoors/wired2fish/story/1648607-what-you-
need-when-you-re-fish-hooked
Join Us for Coho Salmon Creek Walks November and December *Note this information copied from a mailer for people on their mailing list.
More than 4,000 wild Coho Salmon (including ~2,000 jacks) have already migrated through the Willamette Falls at Oregon City on their way to natal spawning
grounds in the Upper Willamette Valley, including the Yamhill River Watershed.
Every Fall (Sep - Dec), wild runs of local Coho salmon make an incredible ~160+ river-mile journey from the Pacific Ocean, up the Columbia and Willamette Rivers,
to spawn in their natal streams in the Yamhill River Watershed. Vying for a chance to continue their legacy, hens (females) dig into the gravels of the streambed to
lay their redds (egg nests), while the bucks (males) compete for fertilization of the nests. With their final breaths, they stand guard over their redds before
ultimately passing away. As their bodies decompose, they release ocean-borne nutrients into the freshwater system, completing an age-old cycle that provides
sustenance for aquatic organisms and even the riverside forests that surround them.
Considered a non-native, but naturalized salmon species upstream of the Willamette Falls in Oregon City, the Upper Willamette River Coho salmon have become a
plentiful fishery in the Yamhill River Watershed in recent decades. The run is large enough to support an open angling season August 1 – October 31 from the
mouth to the confluence of North and South Forks of Yamhill River and the South Yamhill to the mouth of Rock Creek near the town of Grande Ronde. And radio-
tagging studies have even shown that the Yamhill River Watershed can potentially receive up to a staggering 47% of the Coho salmon that migrate upstream of
the Willamette Falls during the spawning season every year.
While we know that there is a large population of Coho salmon returning locally every year to the Yamhill River Watershed, unfortunately, there is only minimal
field data showing where in our Watershed these Coho are spawning, or in what abundances. In an effort to fill this critical data gap, since 2012, the GYWC has
taken groups of youth and adult volunteers out to hike local creeks across the North and South Yamhill Rivers to document observations of our Coho salmon
during the spawning season. As we hike through the creeks and rivers in our chest waders, we collect GPS data where we find live fish, carcasses, and egg nests
(aka "redds"). We also take GPS data and field notes about the quality of fish habitat in the creek, such as the presence of suitable gravels for spawning, as well as
locations of side-channels that provide refuge from high flows and large trees in the channel (aka "large woody debris" or LWD) which influence the shape, flow,
and overall health of the stream.
The information collected through our Coho Creek Walks helps us to develop a better understanding of our local Coho salmon populations, and where we may
need to focus community efforts on stream habitat improvement and fish passage. In particular, we have documented that Coho salmon can be found spawning
in nearly every major tributary across the Yamhill River Watershed, including Deer Creek, Mill Creek, Willamina Creek, the North Yamhill River and its feeder
creeks (Baker, Haskins, Panther, Turner) and the Upper South Yamhill and its tributaries (Agency, Gold, Rock, Rogue, Rowell).
Equally as important, these Coho Creek Walks are an invaluable opportunity for community members to gain real-life connections with their local streams and
rivers, and hopefully develop an even greater sense of pride and ownership for the Yamhill River Watershed and the wildlife that it supports.
If you would like to spend a morning or afternoon hiking a creek to look for Coho,
please contact us today!
Or if you have seen Coho and would like to share your observations, we would love to hear from you!

How to fillet a salmon and remove the pin bones.
Here's a helpful segment that was too long to make it into the regular
episode from Big Dave's lodge in Alaska. A demonstration of a filleting
technique that removes rib and pin bones. Honer Sharpeners are available at
https://www.anglerwesttv.com
*I've tried this before. It works but you have to get the right angle with the
pin bone to make a clean cut. In the video the guy says the pin bones angle
up towards the back.

Big Dave's Cheesy Salmon Recipe
This is a great recipe for those who think they don't like salmon. Dave
Manners (and his son Max), teach us how to make Cheesy Salmon using
Coho (Silver) salmon caught while filming an episode of Angler West TV out
of Big Dave's Alaskan Lodge. Look for that upcoming episode soon and book
a trip with Big Dave at www.bigdavesfishing.com

30th Annual Hall of Fame Banquet & Auction
The Association of Northwest Steelheader’s Annual Hall of Fame Banquet & Auction honors the volunteers who dedicate their time to cooperatively working for a lasting legacy of healthy fisheries.
This year’s event will focus on Resolve, Respect, and Recognition of our 57-year battle against gillnets on the mainstem Columbia River
Due to our resolve, we’ve finally achieved a nearly six-decade fight for an equal share of the Columbia River harvest. Along with that allocation comes a better future for wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River basin. With the most significant non-selective method of harvest largely removed from the mainstem Columbia, wild spring Chinook, wild Coho and wild steelhead have a fighting chance for recovery in our region. We have earned the respect and recognition as a community, not willing to falter until we achieve what’s best for the resource.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11th | 4pm – 9pm
Wilsonville Holiday Inn 25425 SW 95th Ave, Wilsonville, OR 97070
$60 per guest, or a table of 10 can be reserved for your party.
The evening begins with a welcome reception, presentation by a local color guard, lively games, and a silent auction, followed by a delicious buffet dinner, live auction, keynote address, and our prestigious awards to exceptional recipients. Why not do your holidays shopping early while supporting a great organization? We will have trips to destination locations including Cabo, Hawaii, and Argentina, local guided outdoors trips, spa getaways, and so much more! All proceeds benefit the Association of Northwest Steelheaders.
NW Steelheaders Hall of Fame Banquet Nov 11 at 4pm
Army Veteran Sergeant, Brett Miller, will be our keynote speaker. His non-profit organization, Warfighter Outfitters, takes thousands of veterans on hunting and fishing trips throughout the western United States. Brett knows a thing or two about how the power of the outdoors can help our service members. During service in Iraq, Brett’s Humvee was hit by a roadside bomb which left him severely injured and partially paralyzed. During his three-year recovery, Brett turned to cycling as a form of therapy and rehabilitation — and was later asked by the Wounded Warrior Project to be part of their winning Race Across America Team. WWP honored Brett with the Courage Award this year and he continues his service through Warfighter Outfitters.
Please join us at the event to hear more about Brett and his organization and the conservation successes of the Northwest Steelheaders while raising money for fisheries protections for the next 50 years! You do not need to be a member to join in the festivities.
