Hi Knucklehead and everyone who has posted in response to my OP request for advice. You guys are great. Thanks.

All of your comments regarding your experience are helpful, Billamicasr. Thank you. I know the Owens well and I suspect you do, too. Depending on California's snowpack (let's hope it's epic), spring fishing may be very interesting. :)

Troutmasta -- What a great list for us to work our way through. Thanks! Re: Simtra, we have it pretty readily available in California. You guys don't have Total Wine or BevMo, at least from what I can see online. I don't know what your big beer/wine stores are. I found the Knee Deep...

Trust me, Troutmasta, the green -- all of it -- is definitely an attraction. And no question, you guys have loads of excellent craft beers. Notorious Triple out of Boneyard Beer would be just one of many, in my tasting opinion. I am a hophead. But I would still put Simtra Triple by Knee Deep...

Hi Fish. I'm not the best to give advice on waders because I've worn my Orvis until there's no more places to patch -- all those memories of crashing through thorny things and falling on rocks; I love those waders. And I'm a girl and my options are way more limited than yours. I happen to...

Hi again, everybody. I'm the OP and am pretty much overwhelmed by the great suggestions you've all made. And very grateful. Especially since I disclosed from my first posting that I'm from your lousy neighboring state which is disgorging so many of its residents northwards to Oregon...

You are amazing -- thank you on my first day here for all of your suggestion. Thanks to Troutdude, TimberTodd, pinstriper, mjans813 and GaryW. I think we all realize that, before the internet, there was no way you could all give me great advice based on your experience fishing in Oregon...

I'm grateful for all of your suggestions. Thanks to all of you.

Thanks, Dude. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi everybody. Great forum. I’ve read lots and learned lots from you. I’m an addicted fly fisherman, Life Member of TU, dedicated conservationist. Here’s the part you have to forgive me for: I’m from out of state and planning to retire in OR in the next year. I live in CA and have fished...
