Inaugural Chinook Showdown 4/18/15

I know it is still a few days out, but it looks like it is going to be in the high 60's low 70's on Saturday.

If it helps anyone, here is the link I use to watch the Willamette near Portland:

Temperature and Turbidity are the keys. For reference, the turbidity right now is "5" and that is very clear for this time of year.

I heard there was a sewage spill in the Willy over the weekend. Is this going to affect the tourney?

Wear your nitrile gloves.

I was confused when my buddy told me the news of the spill. I was under the impression that the Willy is a sewage spill

Ya, it's probably not the best time to practice re-entry with your mouth open either...

Pretty much. I didn't catch the announcement on this one apparently, but with the rain tapering off tomorrow and clear the rest of the week the river should be fine by the weekend (not that anyone who lives here seems to care - we're used to it).

Or you can join the other 84,291 fishermen who decided to fish Oregon City this weekend. I have literally never seen so many boat trailers at Meldrum Bar.

I just signed up Little Cos and me up for the tournament.  However, I couldn't find the Waiver on the Next Adventure website?  Any idea where I can download the waiver online?

Thanks.

Never Mind.  It was emailed to me.

Well hell.  It looks like I'm not going to make this event either.  Good luck to everyone.

Sorry, Justin. ..
Hmmmm, now if 25 other people bail, I might have a shot at this.
