New to kayak fishing and have been hitting it at Hagg.  Any suggestions as to where to fish within an hour or so of Hillsboro.  Have a 10' sit-in so I may be limited.  Fishing for LMB, SMB, Bluegill, Crappie and possibly Walleye.  Let me know.

Have you been launching out of Ramp C?  I keep seeing a red kayak show up while I'm out there...

There's a ton of fishing in the area. The Willamette is an obvious choice with bass, crappie, salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and more.

50 places within 60 minutes of PDX as per ODFW: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/lets_go_fishing/index.asp

However, not all allow watercraft.  Its a good resource though.
