Hey all wanted to share a sad bit of news with you.
Detroit Lake here in Oregon has a special place in my heart. As a child growing up in San Diego, CA our family spent most vacations camping in Oregon. Detroit lake was always our favorite destination. I spent many great summers here with family. Fishing with my Dad and grandfather and aunts , uncles and cousins. As an adult I moved my family to Oregon from San Diego at the age of 28. Ive been here for the past 32 yrs. Detroit Lake has been one of my families favorite recreational areas for years and still my #1 lake to fish for both trout and Kokanee. Most of the fish pics that i have submitted on this site came from Detroit. I worked in sales for many years and my sales territory covered the town of Detroit and surrounding areas . I personally know mostly all the business owners in the area.
The "Beachie creek" fire that some of you may have seen on the news devastated this town. I have seen some photos on the news and sootken to some friends up there. I believe all of the businesses have been lost including both marinas. Many lake homes are gone and the fire is still not contained.
Please keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers!
Thanks!
