Sunday, Frbruar.v 24, 1983 PAGE S-E W t -,' r.r.J-r- ..,,, --- -3 Reporters Combine Sports On Williamson Water Trip START OF A PORTAGE Flat meadowland along the banks of most parts of the river made portaging easy whenever it became necessary. The only troublesome part of the venture was navigating the canoe through boulder strewn white water to the shoreline. Once there, the task of easing the craft up on the bank was a simple one. At the start of one of the longer portages, Briggs hauls the canoe from the river and onto a stretch of bank south of Chiloquin. The portage led through a field of brush and over a barb wire fence and a windfall. 1 1T NjsW-. 5 r sm t! .... PORTAGES FEW, BUT UNWELCOMED The rapids along the river were navigable but we portaged several of its more rampaging waters rather than risk capsizing and losing valuable equipment. Alotrico, left, lifts the light but bulky craft to his shoulders while Briggs steadies it. it 'f "i (Continued from S-Et and drinking by the bank. As we noared Chiloquin later in the afternoon the fish started to rise heavily out in the middle' of the river. But the river at that point was getting wirier and we found we couldn't reach the ris ing fish from shore. We remem bered regrettably that it was il legal to fish them from the canoe so we decided to pass them up il next year. Soon another flock of ducks came into view. They were mer gansers, blue bills and buffleheads mixed. Again they jumped ahead! of us and flew downstream, bull a blue bill hen veered off and up she came like a bullet shoulder high. One shot and down she came. It was getting dark now and the rods and guns had to be put up. We were only passing through Chiloquin and we had some dis tance to go and plenty of white water ahead. Two very undesirable parts of the river at this point were the rock shelf formations that stretched from bank to bank an inch or two below the surface and the huge half sunken logs that were hard to spot in the half dark. We found quite a few of these logs without any trouble, however, the hard wav . . . the hard way. After we portaged through around the rapids at the William son, Sprague confluence, we start ed worrying about reaching the bridge before darkness fell. Now the rapids came quite frequently, en trout and two ducks, hut the Some were portaged and we ranlscenery was memorable and we some to save time. It was touchlgot our mixed bag. and go at times. But darkness was overtaking us fast and since there was more white water ahead we decided to head in and hike backidilemma and made Oregon some- to the car on foot. Luckily we weren't far from Dick's car, but it was a good lesson for our next trip. A little closer planning would avert a great deal of inconvenience.

Alotrico reached for the scattergun (above) and fired at the band of ducks as it veered away from the canoe. The straggler folded and fell limply into midriver, where we recovered it seconds later. 4 s ..r " f V, FALLTIME FLOAT DOWN THE WILLIAMSON The Williamson River is a lady of varied moods tranquil, suddenly turbulent, vexing, and often unpredictable. We observed some of those moods while floating along her changeable currents in a canoe during a trout fishing and duck bunting sojourn last fall. The float trip, which commenced from the confluence of Spring Creek, and the Williamson River at Collier Park, got underway about daybreak and ended several hours after sundown near the Williamson River Bridge oh Hiqhway 97, a distance of approximately nine nautical miles. The smooth, swift flowing current (above) of the upper part of the Wil. liamson sugqested a peaceful voyage and belied a series of rapids, the first of which confronted us nearly two miles downstream.
