Zach Gilford and Amber Heard fish on location in Oregon.

I recently read an article in the Oregonian that chronicled the simple pleasures of a Winter afternoon on the Nehalem River, in Northwestern Oregon.

It made me think about the many rivers I grew up playing in and fishing in—I grew up just north of Tillamook, OR (a.k.a. “The Land of Many Waters”) so I had lots to choose from—and it made me curious to hear what your favorite rivers are.

My younger sister went fishing last June with her then-boyfriend and came back engaged.  It’s not every day a girl finds a diamond ring in a tackle box, so I’m pretty sure the Lewis River racked up some serious points in her book!

You don’t need to give away any family secrets, but I’m curious: What is your favorite river and why is it special?
