Thanks for your question. When I fish Depoe Bay, I rarely leave the bowl of the bay. There’s enough structure and plenty of fish. Either north or south are both good bets. Head to the buoy and then find your structure. Good luck.

Gosh these are amazing! I randomly stumbled upon some morels over on Larch mountain in the past week. I was given a tip about trilliums and saw some and thought, lemme see if there are any morels. And found 3! My understanding is that June is fairly late season, is that right? Do you think it’s still worth looking in the Mt. Hood area and if so, what elevation?
@DADventurerNW 4 күн бұрын
Thank you for watching and your comment. Yes, morels are still popping on the east side of the cascades, along with King boletes. You should be looking above 4,000’ in June and east of Government Camp. Congrats on your finds!

@@joepodunk284 that’s a good idea. In the Mount Hopd National Forest, you only need a permit if you want to pick more than a gallon of mushrooms per day. Otherwise you are good, provided you aren’t picking in any off limits areas. The ranger station has mushroom maps.

Another cool video. I just can't stop admiring porcini boletes that are growing in Spring! That breaks all my previous conceptions about this King of all boletes. I'm from Russia, where they only show up in late summer and fall.. But seeing them in spring.. This is surrealistic! I still cannot believe it until I see it with my own eyes - if I'm lucky, maybe this coming weekend... Is this video from May of 2021, correct?

I've been waiting for the last weekend's video and here it is! Amazing hunt! Cannot wait to get out of town early on Sat and make my way to the Eastern side of MT, where I so much hope to find my morels. Haven't hunted for them yet this season, only for half-morels very early in April. I've also just watched a dozen of your videos - on mushrooms, fishing, edible plants hunting - fascinating! I'm also into fishing since I was a kid and always looking for new places and new species of fish to catch here in Oregon. Have you ever fished for white fish here? I've heard we have it here but was not able to find any information on where exactly it is.

So a few weeks ago I had found your channel. I went to Hood that weekend to put my new knowledge to work. Kept finding snow down each road we went. Worked on our elevations. I remembered East side! So we head that way. First service road we came to I drive down. Looking pretty promising! But still not finding anything. I had to go pee so I went and found a tree and remembered you saying that's when you find them. While I was peeing my daughter was waking around checking things out. It wasn't until I came out of my "forest potty" that I saw 2 blondies! First 2 I've found in a good 6 yrs! Thank you for your amazing teachings!

Great video. Great points. I really want to go this weekend. Maybe see you out there - that would be pretty funny.

I am really interested in seeing if I can match that with mushroom findings.
@DADventurerNW Ай бұрын
That is interesting. The soil needs to get to 40 degrees for morels to pop. That may be important this weekend, if you are hunting near the snow line, but at 2,500-2800', the soil is well above that temp now. Let me know how that works out for you.
