    "Fly fishing only" verification

    If a river says "fly fishing only," i assume i need a rod with a fly reel and tied flies, no exception. Is that right? If a river says "restricted to artificial fly and lure," i assume that means i can use whatever rod and reel as long as I'm not throwing baits and plastics.

    Freshwater stripers

    I'm looking for a striper. I'll probably try the umpqua, maybe Smith. When are they in the rivers? I heard they need the flowing water for their eggs, but i can't find when their spawning season is. Are they only in fresh water for a couple months? Or perhaps longer, maybe even year round...

    Probably going to have to wait till next year. The wife is understandably worried about me on a solo trip. Still crossing my fingers a friend agrees in time though...

    I respect your perspective, but personally I'd rather have protection and not need it than need protection and not have it. Besides, bear spray and firearms serve as deterrents and protection against cougars and meth heads (the latter being substantially more likely) as well.

    I'm also thinking about a couple days up Duffy and Santiam lakes...

    Fwiw, I'm not particularly interested in hatchery fish for this venture. I'm really hoping to enjoy some amazing wild bounty.
