► Mountain Stream | McKenzie River | Willamette National Forest - Eugene, Oregon USA [3 hours]
A mountain stream is a brook or stream, usually with a steep gradient, flowing down a mountainside, its swift flow rate transporting large quantities of rock, gravel, soil, wood or even entire logs with it. The main characteristic of mountain streams in the Alpine region is their steep gradient and sharply varying rates of flow within a short period of time, as a result of snowmelt and sudden storms. Streams of such nature are rarer in gently rolling countryside, although they may occur on scarp slopes where, although the height difference is not so great, they tend to have a larger catchment area than mountain streams.
Mountain streams may be broadly divided into three sections. In the catchment funnel (Sammeltrichter) high on the mountainsides, water and eroded soil, rock and gravel are gathered. The stream then flows at high speed through a drainage channel (Abflussrinne) into the alluvial fan where the transported debris is deposited.

McKenzie River is a (90 mi; 145 km) tributary of the Willamette River in western Oregon in the United States. It drains part of the Cascade Range east of Eugene and flows westward into the southernmost end of the Willamette Valley. It is named for Donald McKenzie, a Scottish Canadian fur trader who explored parts of the Pacific Northwest for the Pacific Fur Company in the early 19th century. As of the 21st century, six large dams have been built on the McKenzie and its tributaries.
It originates as the outflow of Clear Lake in the high Cascades of eastern Linn County in the Willamette National Forest. (Clear Lake is fed by Ikenick Creek and Fish Lake Creek, the latter of which flows from Fish Lake. Fish Lake's main tributary is Hackleman Creek, which drains the north side of Browder Ridge east of Tombstone Pass. U.S. Route 20 crosses the pass and follows Hackleman Creek.) The McKenzie River flows south from Clear Lake, paralleled by Oregon Route 126, and goes over the Sahalie and Koosah waterfalls to Carmen Reservoir, a man-made lake from which the river is then diverted into a (2 mi; 3.2 km) tunnel to Smith Reservoir. Between Carmen Reservoir and Tamolitch Falls, the riverbed is dry for (3 mi; 4.8 km) because lava from Belknap Crater buried that stretch of the river about 1,600 years ago. The river flows under the lava for those three miles and re-surfaces at Tamolitch Pool at the base of Tamolitch Falls. It then flows south into Trail Bridge Reservoir, where the Smith River enters from the right. After passing through Trail Bridge Dam, the river enters Lane County. The McKenzie continues south to Belknap Springs, where it turns west and flows past the community of McKenzie Bridge. It receives the South Fork McKenzie River about three miles east of Blue River. (The South Fork rises near the Pacific Crest Trail in the Three Sisters Wilderness and flows north-northwest for about (30 mi; 48 km) through Cougar Reservoir and Cougar Dam).
After the South Fork confluence, the main stem of the McKenzie River continues west through a narrow valley in the mountains, receiving the Blue River from the north at the community of Blue River. The McKenzie then passes Vida and continues to Leaburg and Walterville. The McKenzie valley widens as the river continues west, receiving the Mohawk River from the northeast just north of Springfield. Emerging from the Cascade foothills, the McKenzie enters a broad floodplain. It joins the Willamette River from the east (5 mi; 8 km) north of Eugene.

► Mountain River | McKenzie River | Willamette National Forest - Eugene, Oregon USA [3 hours]
A mountain river is a river that runs usually in mountains, in narrow, deep valley with steep banks, rocky stream bed, and accumulated rock debris.
Mountain rivers are characterized by high slope and flow velocity, insignificant depth, frequent rapids and waterfalls, as well as dominated washed out processes. The gradient of a mountain river is calculated at 60–80 m/km in upper stream and 5–10 m/km in lower. More precisely it is greater than or equal to 0.002 m/m along most of its stream length. Speed of stream is measured at 1 to 4.5 m/s and higher.
Mountain rivers have significant hydro energy producing potential and in arid conditions often used for irrigation.

Willamette River: Oregon's Threatened Treasure
This KGW documentary explores the vast Willamette River watershed. The territory covered spans a broad section of the state. Its headwaters starts high in the Cascade Mountains at Waldo Lake in the Willamette National Forest and then winds for 240 miles through the Willamette Valley, and the cities of Eugene, Albany, Salem and Portland. At its terminus, it joins with the Columbia River.
The special report details the effects of pollution, farming and industry on the river as it passes through each community, and the long-lasting effects of accumulated toxins and pollution.
This documentary is presented by KGW environmental reporter Gary Chittim and photojournalists Tim Jacobson, with host Tracy Barry.

Oregon Fishing FULLY EXPLAINED
I felt I had a need to make this video. I love the state of Oregon so much; it really is the most beautiful state in America, and also oh so hard to fish.
In this video, done with the use of Google Earth, we well try to fully explain Oregon fishing. We'll talk about how fishing changes in the season, fishing locations, and each species, including salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, bass, kokanee, surf perch and many more.
Tips up, tight lines and have fun fishing!
