We were so impressed with Evan (the business owner) and the guide service he provided. His equipment was top notch but what impressed us most was his knowledge and love for the river.

His equipment is pristine and as you know the scenery on the river was beautiful. Ron is the kind of guy that I would like to have a beer with after a day of fishing. He supplied all the gear needed, snacks, water and we even pulled off the river where he cooked us up a fantastic lunch. We come up to Oregon envy summer to visit family and I will most definitely use his services again. Next year I can't wait to bring my 3 year old out with us!

I had ordered the wrong size ( my fault) and they were so nice to accept it for exchange - I was surprised they had the replacement ready for me when I walked in. All the staff were astonished at a web order customer from California stepped into the store in Oregon. Guess not too many people do that.. Left with more my original list - lots of flies, DWR finisher, and more skagit tips... They were very nice and helped me select the flies for the coho salmon on the Siuslaw and Alsea rivers... Definitely a must go to for the fly angler when you visit the area.

Camped here last summer on the recommendation of a friend. It's a family friend spot with day use…read moreand camping. Picnic tables, beach, I think I remember grills, a big grassy area - lots of space to spread out and enjoy the day. Seems like a GREAT place to take family and kids. As a county park, there is a no-alcohol policy. While I'm sure some people discreetly partake, that policy adds to the family friendly atmosphere. Our campsite was in the middle with very little privacy or shade, but we walked around and it was one of the only "bad" spots in the place. I reserved it unseen and shortly before we went, so I was just glad to have a spot. If I come again, I'll reserve in advance and get a water view. For us, the camping was secondary as we spent most of the day out on the water. There is a boat launch for larger vessels and a great big parking area to leave your truck and trailer. We were able to park near the grass and air up our inflatable SUPs pretty close to where we put in. We put in near the beach and spent the day paddling around and it was great fun. It's a lovely lake and we had a great time, but not the "most amazing" lake to paddle by any means. I would come again, next time with friends!
