Fly Fishing Road Trips
Good People      Good Water       Good Fish

Oregon is part of the 2016 Banff trip.  British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington were an afterthought.  After staying in Alberta, Canada, I realized I could do British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington before going home.  It would mean a non-stop trip to Chicago for 33 hours.   Leaving at midnight, I would cross the continental divide and arrive at the border of British Columbia and Washington state.  I would try to fish both in the early morning. 

​

Oregon was like British Columbian and Washington; my first fish came on my first three casts.  These are all remote areas, so fishing pressure is light.  I drove to the towns of Enterprise and Joesph in search of a latte.    I found a movie rental/coffee shop.  So cool!  Oregon is one of the top 10 places I have ever been to.  The towns were interesting; the campsites were perfect, with space to spread out, super tall trees, and a great river.  The Imnaha river, even though it is so far east, supports salmon from the Pacific Ocean.  Brooke was so thrilled after catching about 14 trout in 30 minutes that she peeled back and forth around the campsite in joy.  In dog terms, she was doing zoomies.

Oregon Done!
