    When I lived in the Portland Oregon area lampreys were part of the vocabulary. They migrate up Willamette Falls yearly. The locals harvest them in pretty good numbers. I have fished down river from the falls and the current is crazy. I was told before I went up there that there are nine different currents in that area. I fished it and caught spring chinook while there but never went back. Too many prop busting rocks and crazy current.

    Interesting for sure I had no idea there were several varieties of them and they were that common . We don't have them in Texas to the best a my knowledge . We got sirens but hey don't attach to a fish like a Lamprey and they are amphibians . Btw do them things bite with that sucker full a teeth on hands and such ? Or just fish ?

    They are somewhat common in the lake I fish in north Alabama. I'm sure a fish with one on it would be fine to eat, but I can't get past the thought of it. If I catch a crappie with one on it, I pull it off, throw it in the bottom of the boat and let the crappie go. I've never given one the chance to bite me, but I don't think they could.
