Trolling, casting, drifting and still fishing for Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, Coho Salmon, Silvers, Chinook
Salmon, & Fall Chinook with Oregon fishing
guides are the best fishing guided trips in the Northwest.
It's time for Astoria
keeper Sturgeon and Buoy 10 Salmon. I fish for Sturgeon
all up and down the Columbia River but most of my time
is spent closer to Astoria.

Buoy 10 Coho Salmon runs are
some of the best anywhere! Salmon limits are common here
during the peak of this popular run. |

Sounds like fun,
doesn't it? Now's your chance,
contact me at
Page's Northwest Guide Service. I start at sunrise and the location varies depending on
where the fishing is hot. I will call you 1-2 days prior to the trip to let
you know where to meet. |

Fun Rides For All Ages In
Portland
A must see/do list in Portland would include all 3 of our
trains/trams/and trolleys.
Streetcar History
The City of Portland, Oregon is noted for the dramatic revitalization of
its downtown core. In the 1960s, Portland, like many other cities
throughout the U.S., was threatened by loss of residents, businesses and
capital. Suburban housing developments, shopping areas, and business
parks were draining the vitality from the city center.

The Portland Streetcar system is one more
important transportation decision that has enhanced Portland’s vitality
while helping the city accommodate new residential and business growth.

The "Pill Hill" tram as it is called
connects the southern water front activities with the medical hospitals
and clinics located directly above that area.

They run about every 12
minutes and you can do the complete up and down trip in about 1/2 hour.
It soars 600 ft above the rooftops and offers vistas never seen before.
If you are afraid of heights you had better have someone to hang on to
but it will be worth the trip.

Our infamous "Zooliner" train runs around Washington Park and the
Zoo. It is a scaled down replica and is open aired. This is a favorite
ride for adults and children and not to be missed during you trip up the
hill to the Zoo!

Today, however, Portland’s central city is
one of the most admired in North America. Many things contributed to
this turnaround, but one key factor was an emphasis on transit and
cooperative planning for transportation and land uses. Some examples of
changes in the 60s and 70s that led to Portland’s status as a highly
livable city are:
1. Establishment of TriMet, a public regional transit agency with new
buses and a 12-block downtown transit mall
2. Elimination of a freeway along the Willamette River where a popular
public park now sits.
3. A decision not to build a freeway that would have destroyed housing
in established Portland neighborhoods.
4. State and local support for MAX, the regional light rail service
which now links suburban communities more than 33 miles apart to each
other as well as to downtown Portland. A 5.5-mile spur to the Portland
International Airport opened in fall of 2001 and a 5.8-mile spur opened
north to EXPO in May 2004.
