Even though you can see the pickup through the drain hole, the clearance between where the mesh ends and oil pan is so small that you cannot get anything sophisticated in and up there to clean out the mesh and scrape it out.
It would probably be quicker and with better results (maybe) to remove crank pulley and oil pump gear and blow compressed air together with carb cleaner through the pickup tube.
The thing with that though is you won' know exactly ow much comes out through the drain hole and how much stays in there ready to work its way back into the mesh.
LesH, very interesting to get some REAL data with oil used and intervals instead of guesses or second owner experience.
