Moving to Oregon

Well, we're moving to Oregon. Before Penns Clave. Hopefully we'll
be on the road before April 1.

John, Wolfgang & Co., you'll have to find your own way to New Berlin for
the Smallmouth Flotilla launch.

Tom, Mike & the Hemlock Acres regulars, I'll miss fishing & hanging out
with you guys when the opportunity arises.

If anyone (Frank) wants to pick up a 10 pound loaf, the place to call is
the New York Bakery in Frackville, PA - (570)874-3030 - they're right
off of I-81 on the corner of 5th & Spring Streets. Mapquest should get
you right to their door. You have to order in advance--it's best to
give them at least 2-3 days if not a week.

I'll miss fishing in PA with you folks, but OTOH I might get a chance to
attend a Western Clave sooner than I expected.

I'll be in the Tillamook area, so salmon & steelhead are on the schedule
along with trips into the hills for trout fishing. My wife has
relatives that fly fish, so I'll hopefully have a local to 'guide' me on
occassion.

It'll be nice to live at the beach again.

Tom,
Some excellent steely and salmon fishing very near you. For sure, visit the
Tillamook Cheese Factory (the cheese curd is great). Kauffman's Streamborn
is in Tigard and if you head toward the Deschutes on Hwy. 26, stop at The
Fly Fishing Shop in Welches and say "Hello" to Mark & Patty. The Salmon and
Sandy Rivers are within 5 minutes of their shop and fish well for steelhead.
When you head to Bend, let me know and I can get you in touch with an old
GAP guy who couldn't take San Francisco anymore (another fly fish fanatic).
Also, I should be on the Deshutes around the end of May for the 28th Annual
Maupin Flop. If you are able to join our group at that time, I am sure you
will think less of me and even less of the my fishing buddies.
Oh, and as a side note, don't eat the mushrooms growing on the cow patties
around Tillammok.

Good news and bad. Will miss you at Penns.
The good news is that life is a lot like fishing. The best opportunities
are found in those transition zones. Moving cross country and setting up a
new life is pretty fun (been there, done that, 16 times in 23 years).
Always think of the new place as the most wonderful place you've ever been.
With that attitude, you won't be disapointed.
Mayhaps I'll get out there to fish with you.
The stew remains the same, but clave will be ten pounds short of a loaf.

Drop a line to fish with Padishar Creel and Bugcaster. At the very least,
I'll be in touch to get local updates on the rivers. See if you can't get a
house on the Kilchis.

Ah, you do realize that you will have to buy a minimum of 6 boats to
actually call yourself a coastal fisherman! In fact, I would like to
recommend the proper craft, in order of preference, to start your
collection:

Here are those boats, in order of preference:

1) 24+ foot bay, river and moderate ocean going jet/prop boat (Think
Duckworth,Willie's Asaltor, Alumaweld)
2) A Driftboat big enough for you to row and for myself and bugcaster to
fish - I need plenty of space say 17' is awfully nice, but I can be seen in
a 16' footer
3) A pontoon boat (a really good one, so we can borrow it when go on Class
IV rivers)
4) A car top pram (really nice for small lakes when you don't want to get
wet)
5) A float tube (yep it is a boat in Oregon with all the rules applied --
Now where do I mount my mooring lights again?)
6) A Kevlar canoe (I really like to have one for really no reason, just they
be cool)

Chris

If you haven't been here much ( Especially Tillamook bring your WD-40 and
your Ott lights for SAD sydrome) Here's a good site to watch if your gonna
live in Tillamook Caters mostly to the guys who thow hardware and bait)
http://www.ifish.net/
As for fly shop Kauffmans is good. Just make sure you have a some hundred
dollar bills in your shirt pocket. If your in Portland I'de recommend
RiverCity http://www.rivercityfly.com/.
There are two Fisherman's Marine Supply stores in Portland, both have pretty
fair fly shops and people who know what's going on. Rivers over there are
going down - I'll check a couple out Sunday.

I was looking at some houses on the Wilson, but we (well, my wife
actually) have relatives with property on Kilchis River Road. I think I
could get access to some Kilchis River fishing.

A house on the Wilson or Trask would be really nice..... If you come
over to the Bend area, give me a ping....
