There will be an early morning orientation every morning from 4:30 until 6:00 AM, to describe rotation of areas for teams and to hand out our daily scorecards. THE TEAMS MUST OBTAIN THEIR OWN LODGING. (Paisley Dorm, Paisley Sage Rooms, Summer Lake Lodge, Summer Lake Inn, etc.) RV camping is available both with hookups in town or dry camping in designated campgrounds along the river, (free) 2/3 mile from the Community Center.

We are NOT looking for the biggest fish, but the best angler. Three days was established because “anyone can get lucky one day.” The winning team will be added to the “Perpetual Trophy” that will stay on display in Paisley for all visitors to see. Each member of the winning team will receive an individual trophy. There will also be “Place” prizes.
LOCATION:
This event will be held on the rustic Chewaucan River, flowing down from the Fremont National Forest through the center of the small city of Paisley, Oregon. From Bend, Oregon, go south to La Pine on Hwy 97. One mile south of La Pine, turn left (east) on OR 31. Go to mile marker 98 and you are in Paisley.
Paisley is located in a rural, quiet and beautiful area with a wide variety of geology and lakes. There are a number of interesting things to do in and around the area. So if you are coming in from out of town please visit the Lake County and City of Paisley websites for more information about the area. Voice of Lake County
