For the most part I'm limited to day trips fairly close to home so my reality list and my wish list are two different things. I still should be able to arrange a few expeditions.

Definite list....

Sandy
Clackamas
Gorge tribs
Clear lake
Columbia

Probably...

Kalama
Washougal
NF Lewis

Hopefully...

Klickitat
Deschutes
North Coast for cutts
North Coast for surfperch
Bass extermination trip to Davis, Wickiup or CP.

Dreamin'...

Tuna on the fly (or otherwise).
Neah Bay for Coho and rockfish.

I'm not proud: Anywhere there are Steelhead and Salmon (and big trout), preferably within 60 miles of home!

More than a good majority going to the Deschutes...maybe a group trip should be planned? :grin: Sounds like fun to me. All we need is some experienced oarsmen for whitehoarse and the like.
