Fishing Forum

I visited family in central Oregon a couple of years ago and am planning another trip up there soon. Hopefully in late summer. Where are some good fishing spots in the area? I won't have a boat with me so I will need to fish from the bank or wading. I may bring my float tube if there is a good place (depending on traveling room) I am not picky about what type or style of fishing. I will have my flyrod with me as well as a spinning outfit. I basically want to get a general feel of where to go and what types of fishing is available.
