heading out to Portland/SW WA/Central OR at the end of this month and would appreciate any input regarding where to fish and what to use.

Having been to Bend once before, I have fished the Deschutes basically in town, but didn't manage to get out into the headwaters (below Lava Lake) or into any of the tribs therein (Fall River, Crooked, Metolius, etc). Very interested in decent spots and also in getting out to some of the lakes (maybe Hosmer, Sparks, that sort of thing).

Planning on being in the Mt St Helens area for a day, and would like to know if any of the lakes/streams in that area might be fishable, and again, what I should bring with me.

I will be bringing my full complement of gear - 8' 4wt and 9' 5wt, both full sink and full floating lines.

Hopefully we'll hit the March Brown hatch at some point, as I've been itching to throw a dry fly for the last few months...

Anyone in the area interested in meeting up and fishing for a day? Always looking for good company...

Thanks in advance, y'all.
