Moose,

His uncle is setting us up with a vehicle...i understand a 4WD truck. The guy is from what i understand, uumm, rather wealthy. He's also got a Hyde trailered up for us if need be.

I have experience on the oars floating some of the bigger Michigan rivers...Oregon, i don't want to get in over my head so we'll proceed with caution.

I'm planning on bring an array of rods...more than likely 6'6 4wt (small mountain stream) 8'6 4wt, 8'6 5wt, 9' 6wt and if need be 9' 7/8wt...

I see there is a fly shop in Eugene, may lean on them abit, maybe a guide trip through them? His uncle isn't much of a fisherman...just collects the toys, so i'm not sure how much local knowledge he'll have.

Ducks, the Mckenzie is on the short list...
