We had a small posse from the Willamette Valley fly to Idaho for some fun over the past couple weeks. I know I'm not the only one with pictures and video so hopefully everyone else can post some stuff from out trip here.

The most productive fishing was probably at Temperance Creek on the Snake with both bass and trout being caught. There were some big salmon/steelhead that we could see at Upper Loon but nothing was caught there. I had the most fun fly fishing on the Teton by canoe when I was in Driggs. We were a couple weeks too early for fishing in the Frank Church as everything was running pretty fast, sometime later this month I bet it will be prime time back there.

Great pics, always good to see the OR crew each year.

Good job Tyler on the pictures,always good to see u Matt ......and family

We had a great trip to Idaho this year!

Hey Tyler, Terry, and John,

Thank you for the great photographs. Did you guys stop at Owyhee Reservoir?

Looks like you guys had a great time! I'm bummed we missed it this year.

I thought that guns were normally facing towards the front! You must have an interesting gun-sight

Back in Oregon, somewhere on the Willamette River, 3rd year in a row on the same gravel bar for the 4th of July. Had 13 planes show up. Had a celebrity, the double ender show up. Great time had by all!

Just counted about 30 new strips landed on this trip

Awesome. I was in Portland for the 4th. Next time I'll try and give out a heads up and maybe we can meet up.

Yeah, well if we could have hooked up in Afton, and played around on the way back to my area, it would have been another 20 for you at least. Next time!

Damn strip baggers! ........
