Seastrike, I talked to a fellow steelheader from Oregon that breeds and trains German Shorthair Pointers. Has them trained for chukar hunting. He gave us a demonstration last summer at the campground. Well trained friendly dogs. The older female had a hip problem. His name is Paul Martinsen and he is near Salem, http://www.versatiledogs.com/kennels/gsp12.html

He also told us the story about the world record fly caught Chinook his brother Grant got on the Rogue a few years ago before they went chuckar hunting east of the mountains, http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fishing/news/story?page=ff_fea_salmon_record-by-fly02_Freeman
