We kept 4, one brite silver one with faint stripes was the only one with eggs, but nice big ones. Central Oregon? Hope your gonna' stay awhile, long way to go just for some eggs, with the boat you could move around more and chase the fish. Some places they just boil the water and then move. You can follow them, especially in a nice 24' sled!! Launch is across from the power house in Potlach, run about 3 miles north to the hatchery. Watch your depth if you have a prop on there, the water is real shallow in front of the hatchery, 2-3 ft. deep out for a long ways if the tide is out. Boat with a top sure is nice if the weather turns nasty, too!!
