If you can tarry awhile, or if you can find a few hours during the convention week, do not fail to take a fishing trip or get into the great outdoors. Scientific propagation and protection have kept the state’s waters teeming with fighting fish—salmon running up to 45 and 50 pounds; trout 20 inches and longer that rise to a fly, bass that will give you a thrill to remember. Oregon’s great and famous fishing streams, the Rogue River, the Mackenzie River, the Deschutes and scores of others, together with innumerable lakes, are within easy reach. A two or three-day trip should be planned if possible. If you do not like to fish, a real experience will be a boat trip on one of the scenic streams. They are disappointment proof. Take along camera to make the folks back home “see and believe”. For special fishing or outing information call the Chamber of Commerce, 190 Fifth at Taylor, or the Oregon State Game Commission, Oregon Building, Fifth and Oak streets.
