Hey everyone! I just picked up fly fishing last month, and I am already super addicted to it. I live in Portland and having a blast hiking around the coast range and fishing on the Wilson. I've been using a 3wt rod per a friend's suggestion but also picked up a 5wt as I have ambitions to try out some bigger rivers like the Deschutes.
Any rivers or streams you recommend for beginners on a 3wt?
I have a couple of days off mid-week and was planning to camp and fish somewhere. My first thoughts were to camp at the Deschutes River Recreation Area and bike up the rail trail, and fish from there. The trail goes for 21 miles and seems like a good place to get in some bigger water without getting in anyone's way.
I'd also love some recommendations for getting some lessons as well. Know of anyone that is good with beginners?
Thanks in advance. It's been great digging through all the information on this forum!
