Where are we staying in Portland?  Is there a campground we will be at or do we have to get hotel rooms?

Jeff I.

We are camping at...

Tri-Mountain RV Park
109 S 65th Ave Bldg C
Ridgefield, WA 98642
360-887-8983

I just checked this location of Google maps and it looks a LONG way from the river.  Am I missing something?

I made reservations at the Tri-Mountain RV Park, the lady was very friendly. I was surprised at all she required was your name and phone number, she didn't ask for a credit card number.

I think this is the address and directions for the launch that the club used the last time we fished.  I hope so because it's where I'm lauching and it's right across the street from where I got a motel room although it has parking for only two boats.

jeff and others,

You only need an oregon liscence if you go up tributaries, go inside marinas, under bridges into say a cove.  I dont think I will get one, but if I were backseating I would ask my boater his plans and decide accordingly.  I have heard the Willamette is a good fishery.

Oregon will not be off limits, get an Oregon license.

Sweet! Right on Terry
