My wife wanted to head to Woodburn Outlet mall south of Portland and so I started looking around that area for a spot to go fishing on Google Maps and I came across the weirdest place. It is called St. Louis Ponds and from what I can gather the “ponds” are man-made trenches filled with water each stocked with a mixture of fish and I thought that it warranted a looking at. There were large leafless poplar trees surrounding the ponds and all three that I looked in had so much algae that I was cleaning my fly off with every cast. It might be worth a visit sometime in the summer but I really doubt it. To many rivers to explore. St. Louis Ponds are here.
That map is weird. No body of water should look like it was designed on graph paper. BOOO to that…HOORAY for all the rivers you can explore!
