You don't have to go THAT far.

In Oregon, try the Rogue, the Sandy, or most Tillamook-area Rivers (e.g. Wilson, etc..).

There are summer steel available in the Upper Willamette and John Day rivers.

I'm not sure when you are planning your trip, but the Santiam River is one of my favs.

HTH and may Nerka cuddle your line!
