I had planned to be in this area fly fishing next week or the week after:

The 20,000 White River fire threatened the Deschutes River canyon south of Maupin. The river from the city park to Shearar's Falls seven miles downstream was closed to whitewater rafters. The fire was about a mile from Maupin on Friday.

Along the south side of the River (changes directions like a drunk driving) in the Maupin Area to Warm Springs, the brush growth along the river is horrible. It would be like touching a match to a fuse.

That's too bad Dave, there is some great fly fishing in that area. One of my buddies lives in Bend and he's a fly fishin' fool...I never caught the bug.

I did some fresh water fishing with a spinning rig and charter boating out through the Golden gate and Bodega Bay, years ago...now I just ride my Suzuki for a little outside relaxation... :o)
