Pictures from my fishing trip to Union Creek, Oregon. I spent September 3-6 of 1999 here with Dave, his wife Julie, and her parents, Fred and Carolyn. Union Creek is a small location about 60 miles east of Medford on highway 62.

Rogue RiverThis is a picture of the Rogue River a little upstream from Julie's Spot. It's glacier fed so the water is quite cold. The water at this part flows at about 3-5 mph and the river is knee to waist deep. [Full]


Julie's SpotJulie's Spot, on the near side of the shore. On the other shore is another good spot to fish, but only Dave will brave the river to reach it. [Full]
 Ash cliffThe Crater Lake area is covered in ash from the volcanic eruption that created Crater Lake. Here you can see the ash in the white of the cliff face. [Full]





Fishing poleMy fishing pole, which I borrowed from Julie's Dad. It's the fishing pole her grandfather used. Caught one trout with it. [Full]





Ant with salmon eggA lone ant dragging away a salmon egg. We used salmon eggs and worms as bait. Dave just uses salmon eggs. Worms are slimy and still alive, which is disconcerting when you put them on a hook. [Full]
