After living in Salt Lake City for 25 years and fishing for trout in the tributaries of the rivers of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, I retired and moved to the Portland area.
After a couple of years of looking for good stream fishing for trout within a couple of hours drive here is what I have experienced so far: difficult access to fishable water, difficult wading when you get to the stream ( I'm 73 ), and tiny frakking fish when you find good water - I decided to try overnighting it to fish the Metolius and Fall Rivers - what a pain in the ass!
Even though I have always preferred fishing moving water - I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and buy a nice inflatable boat, maybe a Watermaster or something similar, start fishing some of our mountain lakes and get back to catching 14" to 20" trout???
What do you think?
Thanks!
