who is sponsoring this event?

Sorry, thought it was on the flyer.  It's the Georgia Pacific Mill out of Toledo.

[kiawanda jr]

ya it is, sorry i missed it.   that was huge back in the day, bbqs and baseball tournaments. you can still see the backstops in the creek.
i hope it gets a good turnout.

You Newport boys fished Olalla know what works best, tent camping there or motels in Toledo? Flyer hasn,t much info.

[kiawanda jr]

there is no camping allowed at olalla. it is only open from daylight to dusk. i would probably look towards newport for accommodations. if your wanting to tent camp south beach state park will be your closest option or Beverly beach to the north. you cant throw a rock in newport without hitting a motel, lots of options there.

[Marvin A]

Thanks for the info would be doable but expensive for short trip. 

[kiawanda jr]

that is a long way for some planters but that traeger would be sweet

Got one wife has been trying to wear out for 6 years now, my waistline is the proof.

For camping you have: In Newport; South Beach State Park & Beverly Beach State Park. In Siletz (Actually Logsdon) you have Moonshine County Park.  There's nothing in Toledo.  If you have a trailer or camper there's the option of camping in the WallyWorld parking lot in Newport.  Spring breaks will be over and motel/hotel rates should change back until Memorial Day weekend when they go up for the Summer.  I stayed in the Money Saver Motel in Newport for $38 one night last year when I was in the dog house.

I'll be there if the weather is decent. Is there any info about the tourny on the web?

Is there any info about the tourny on the web?

I'm guessing you might find something similar to this thread on iFish, but nothing more.

[FishSniffer]

I'm not going to make this event as I have to run up to Portland.

To clarify, I've received info that the kayak is the top Youth prize while the Trager BBQ is the top adult prize.
