I can't wait....This August I'm staying near the Deschutes River canyon for three days with my wife and her family. Two of those days will be spent fishing the Deschutes. Unfortunately, while I've steelhead fished for nearly 10 years now, I've yet to try it with a fly rod. I know I'm missing out but forget about that for just one second. All of the websites I've looked at only speak of fly fishing. I checked the regs and it said that bait is prohibited only. It said nothing about "fly fishing only." However, will I look like a "freak" out there amongst all the flyfisherman (whom I greatly respect) while throwing a corky and yarn? Also, can I expect to catch anything this way? I'm really excited but don't want to make the mistake of looking like a jackass. Thanks guys....

Also, where should I go?
