WHERE: Lucky Labrador Public House; Multnomah Village location
WHAT TIME: 6:30 p.m. for gathering; activities start at 7:00 p.m.
WHAT to EXPECT:
Brian Marz - "Oregon's Flyfishing Mecca" 
In Oregon there are many river valleys with many highways and towns oriented along them. The McKenzie River is no different - the McKenzie Highway follows it, and several towns located within the river valley. Add Maupin where you have a town located at the lower Deschutes, and the culture is all about the river.  The one thing Oregon seems to lack is a hub or mecca for fly fishing [think about Missoula, Montana, and the Clark Fork, Bitterroot, Blackfoot, Rock Creek, etc.].
The city of Oakridge is actually Oregon's Fly Fishing Mecca or Hub, and if you aren't aware of it, you need to come to this month's chapter meeting. Oakridge has been deemed the Mountain Biking Capital of the Northwest, and it needs another title for being the Fly Fishing Mecca of Oregon. Orvis Portland's fishing manager Brian Marz has been fly fishing the Oakridge area for almost 25 years, and he is going to share with you the wide array of options for fly fishing this wonderfully majestic area.
WHAT to BRING: a friend?
