More on Oregon's Steelhead Train

Who isn’t enchanted by the thought of riding a train up a river to fish for steelhead on a river that has no other motorized access? We first mentioned the Wallowa River Canyon fishing train back in January (read “Fast Train to Steelhead”), and this month New West‘s Bill Schneider gives his take on the fanciful service, which lasts through the end of this month. “Fleser keeps careful track of his customers so leaves nobody behind, and he keeps a strict schedule. When the whistle blows three times, you better be on the train–unless you have a fish on, of course. ‘We brake for fish,’ Fleser admits.”
