Re: Where are you going to fly fish this spring/summer

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.

Re: Where are you going to fly fish this spring/summer

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.
