Our intrepid man of the Oregon wild filled in for Andy at Miller Lake this year - Mark and Crew [comprising of course - Janet, Mollie, Dawson and the Tin Boat] headed up the lonely TVTU team [of themselves] managing to scare up a good time and some fish to boot! Why they were alone is a bit disconcerting and we may have to look into scaling back the schedule for 2015 but regardless Mark filed a report [coming in the newsletter] with PHOTOS!
Here are a few for your viewing pleasure.....

| Miller Lake..no modeling required |

| An evening at Miller - even less modeling required... |

| Marks net modeling a 15" BT....before heading back to the lake |
Mark reports that although the ospreys did better, he and the Tin Boat came away with nearly a dozen catches [and releases] - with that brown trout to top off the trip!
Thanks for sharing Mark!
Speaking of outings - don't forget:
UPDATE [10.15.14]: Andy just mentioned he's down and out with a lingering illness and therefore will not be on the Deschutes this weekend; we have no official replacement lined up so it looks like anyone attending will be on their own. Take the opportunity to poke around and see who else may be there from TVTU! [oh and pack your own barbecued bacon wrapped shrimp and quiche...cuz the Rod Kill Grille will not be there]. Let us know how it goes!

WHAT to BRING:
it's a Campouting - bring your camp gear; some grub, your trout and/or
steelhead gear; waders and all that other gear you've accumulated over
the years that seems to fill all the crevices of your vehicle! Oh and it
gets cold this time of year - so warm clothes and sleeping bag - some
firewood would be awesome to add to the group fires!
