 Useful Links and What to Bring
The best value in a welded aluminum driftboat is at Doug Carmenzind's Diamond Back Boat.
The Register Guard is our local newspaper.
KEZI is a local television station with the latest weather and passcams that show our mountain passes in the winter.
Oregon Department of  Fish and Wildlife has enough information to keep you busy for awhile. This site will give the prices for licenses and fees. You will be able to buy your fishing license online at this website.
When looking up river levels I go to Real-Time Data for Oregon

For the best deal on fishing flies click on this banner:
  Premium flies without the premium price    They are an Oregon company.
And if you're ever planning to go the Kona, Hawaii my friend Chuck Wigzell fishes for the big ones at www.konacharterboat.com
My wife Ulla and I usually go a warmer climate for a winter vacation. We love Hawaii. Check out this link if you're ever planning that Hawaiin trip:

Here are some things to remember :
 You will need a valid state fishing license for the day you plan to fish. You can purchase this at most sporting goods stores or department stores that sell fishing gear. Here is an example of some stores in my area -  Wal-Mart, Bi-Mart and Fred Meyer.
     If you like to take pictures bring a camera --  I usually have mine with me. Sun-glasses and hats are very useful. Sun screen is helpful on bright days.
     Our weather is Pacific Northwest Marine and our prevailing winds come from the Northwest. This means that even on very warm days (80 to 90 degrees) our night time temperatures can drop to 55 degrees. In the Spring and Fall it is best to dress in layers of clothes. This is also the times of the year when you might need rain gear. I have emergency panchos if you are unable to bring rain gear.
      I will provide all the tackle necessary for our trip including flies. If you have your favorite rods and reels let me know what they are and I will let you know if they will be suitable for our trip.
     I will be providing lunch this year (2009).
  If you have any questions don't hesitate to call or write.
