Don't forget - AUGUST is your month off; no general member meeting! Go out and use that time to enjoy some of the beautiful bounties our state has to offer - hopefully, it won't be too crowded for your enjoyment!
Speaking of getting out:
CAMPOUTING!
WHEN: Friday, August 9-11, 2019
WHEN: Friday, August 9-11, 2019
WHERE: Gold Lake - Gold Lake Campground
WHAT TIME: whenever you can make it
WHAT to EXPECT: A rare visit to this potential gem! Gold Lake is just about 1/4-mile bushwhack from Waldo Lake but it is worlds different requiring a completely different road to access it! A monster bug factory with large native rainbow patrolling, this one has the chance owning all who fish it. Luckily, the brook trout are ever present to keep you busy. So much so - there is no size or number limit on the brook trout. All rainbows, however, are C&R only. No motors. Flyfishing only. Barbless adds to the challenge. A nice small campground completes this 100 acre impoundment of Salt Creek. Contact: Andy Andrews

DIRECTIONS:
Head east from Eugene on Hwy 58;continue past the Waldo Lake turnoff/sign but just prior to the Willamette Pass summit and ski area there is a small sign for Gold - you might miss it. The road is a hard acute left up the hill when heading east on the highway. if you get to the ski area - you went too far! The gravel road is a few miles of often rough-potholed track but certainly doable in all vehicles; just be patient, the reward is worth it.
WHAT to BRING: a float tube, bug spray and a friend if you wish!
Notice who provided the sign.....
