Hmmm...me thinks that youse guyz are gonna get me into a mode, where I just might have to get some line for my rod n' reel! It's been MANY years, since I last/first attempted fly fishing.

P.S. Isn't that weekend, the "free fishing" weekend sponsored by ODFW? If so, I'll be "tied up" with a kiddie trip.

Im in. I dont really know any of you guys but im excited to finally meet some of you, and if there is room on a boat i would be super stoked.

 

[FishFinger]

Perfect..... A date and location. Count me in!

All right sounds like we have some interest and it will give us a chance to try out our flies we get from the swap

Is this a swap too? and eventhough I can not actually plan that far out, I would love to go. So one more tentative yes. Also... Any veterans want to give some advice for what to expect witha hatch, I have a good idea but I haven't fished this part of oregon that time of year.

Rob,as far as the upper north santiam its a wading game,but there are plenty of drifts below big cliff dam....the only section i have ever floated was Mehama to Stayton and it was a nice mild float.let me see what i can find as far as floating.

no this isn't a swap just a get together to hit the river before all the kids get out of school.as far as hatches bring plenty of caddis and stoneflies.

The only part of the santiam I have fished is at Fishermans Bend camp ground.
I will be there the first weekend in May camping with the WetWesies.
I will try to get there in June with my Yellow Vanagon camper and plenty of flys.
Since I don't know any of you and I have never fly fished with anyone else this should be a real learning eperence for me.
