My turn...

Shannon - for those looking to just tent camp Friday night, do we need to reserve with Old Mill ahead of time, or simply check-in/pay-up when we get there?

Thanks!  See you Friday.

Ninkasi brewing is donating a short keg for the tournament and as his contribution to the potluck jsmccormick is picking it up in Eugene and icing that bad boy down. I think that earns him rights to first in the chow line as well as the first crack out the tap.

Almost done running around like a "springer on a hook" getting the last minute donations together and all the details buttoned up.
Saturday morning:
IF you have lights you may launch at 5:30 sunrise approximately 6 am

Check in before you hit the water and when you come off the water

I will be at the old mill boat ramp at 5ish am for those needing to register you will be looking for a camouflage Nissan with a white canopy pictured and a blue and silver Subaru Outback with a roof rack also I will wear my orange coat with reflective tape on it( if you can't find me go to the optometrist) or I'm not there yet.

Here is the map one more time and please keep the am noise down for those camping and not with us.

That's a lot of stuff.  I hope there are a few late sign ups.

I'm thinking about extending my reservations through Sunday night and head home Monday.  Hopefully there will be good fishing somewhere on Sunday.  I wouldn't mind bringing home some Salmon for the friends.

Also, is there a cleaning station at the camp ground?

We got a mention on Outdoor GPS!!  Seems the fish are there but it's slow. Not many folks fishing the ghost hole.   Jetty fishing and just outside the bay.
