How do I....
With all the new members we have acquired the past few months I decided it is time for the "how do I find..." reminder.
First of all let me say that we are thrilled that you chose Oregon Fishing Forum. It wouldn't be the same without you.
Please be sure to check the archives a couple times a month for all sorts of information. You will find tips on how to rig your gear;what bait or lure to use for a given species;the favorite bank fishing areas;handicapped access and yes, we even give out the longitude and lattitude co-ordinates to our "secret" fishing holes just to mention a few. If you can't find what you are looking for by just browsing, be sure to use the search function. It will show you every thread with that word in it. You can spend litterally days going back more than two years in the archives. You can go to the members list and find every single post by a specific member.
Many of our more experienced members are here nearly every day and share or advise all of us on what,when,where,how and why. We are very fortunate to have so much experience to draw from. Lets all make certain we don't make them repeat themselves time after time. It stops being fun and becomes tedious as hell after repeating the same thing twenty times a week. The last thing on earth anyone can call any member on this forum is "elitist". The whole concept of this forum is to make sure each and every member has the best fishing experience possible. The last thing we want anyone to feel is intimidated by any question or information you need an answer to or you want to contribute. Please feel free to ask or contribute,but once in a while, try to use the features I have explained. We truly want you all to enjoy being a member here. The more active you are and post or start your own thread,the faster you will increase your ranking from "Neophyte" to "Master Angler". Remember, this "ranking" has absolutely nothing to do with your personal experience. It is simply a guage used to track how often you contribute,whether with a question or a tidbit of information.
Also, be sure to check the section heading often. Many times there are several postings on different threads on the same day. If you start a new thread and don't get an answer or response right away, don't be discouraged. Most of the time it simply means a lot of us are out fishing and will not be online for a while. Do check back often and don't be shy about asking again.
Hope to see a post from all of our members at least once a month. We love our "lurkers" too, most of us started that way.

, I ended up with a few gps coordinates in my tomtom. I've got dodge park and oxbow park (maybe more?). google earth is a good way to find gps too.
