Species: Mountain Whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni)
Location: Deschutes River, Oregon
Date: June 21, 2018
The fish most Central Oregon anglers can’t avoid avoided me for decades. Probably because I didn’t know much about them. If you want to catch one, you should know the facts. All of these are 100% true.
Whitefish Facts
1) My first Mountain Whitefish was not caught on a mountain.
2) Whitefish aren’t actually white, though they’re rumored to be incapable of jumping, so you can see where the confusion lies. In fact, I’ve never heard of one jumping while hooked.
3) Whitefish do have white meat. That’s the real reason for their name.
4) Though they’re gaining a little respect, they’re often viewed as trash fish which is crazy because they’re Salmonids. They’re more closely related to trout than chubs even though they resemble the latter somewhat.
5) There is town in Montana named Whitefish.
6) Whitefish is good smoked, but I’ve never had it vaped.
7) Whitefish are afforded “Game Fish” status in Oregon. Call it “whitefish privilege”.
8) Identifying whitefish is easy when you understand there are only two types of fish: whitefish and wrong fish.
9) My friend once caught a three-pound whitefish on a massive jig while fishing for Lake Trout, one of the chief predators of whitefish.
10) I already wrote the story of my first whitefish. Read it by clicking here.

Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!
I do trust all the concepts you have introduced to your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours today, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the web can be much more useful than ever before.
I enjoy what you guys tend to be up too. This kind of clever work and coverage! Keep up the superb works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll.
I was reading through some of your posts on this site and I believe this web site is really instructive! Keep putting up.
