One Man's Story

"There's something about The Big K that keeps calling me back."

By Gary Lewis
Author Hunting Oregon, Deer Hunting, Freshwater Fishing Oregon & Washington

When my tires hit gravel and I topped out on the long ridge and looked down over the rolling fields, I knew I'd found one of Oregon's special places. After a long day on the water, boating more than my fair share of the Umpqua's scrappy smallmouth, I was glad to relax on the deck. With my family, we watched the afternoon give way to evening, a rosy glow on the slopes above the lodge.

The Big K Guest Ranch is where serenity meets service. We sat in the open air and ordered teriyaki chicken and beef tri-tip, served with fresh bread and salad. After dinner we walked by the pond and played ping-pong in the game room downstairs. No ringing of telephones disturbed our nerves and every face we met wore a smile.

In our private cabin, no sound disturbed our sleep and with the curtains drawn, we weren't aware that the sun was well up in the morning sky. Fortunately, The Big K crew is used to their guests sleeping in. We had a bounty of fresh fruit, eggs, potatoes, pancakes and other good foods waiting for us in the lodge.

Southern Oregon is good game country and The Big K is right in the heart of it. Blacktail deer browse on the hillsides dappled with sunlight filtered through oak trees and tall firs. Roosevelt elk bugle from the ridge tops and long bearded Rio Grande turkeys feed in the fields and slopes. And the fishing. Spring and fall chinook, coho, striped bass, shad, smallmouth bass, sturgeon and steelhead. There are few rivers in the world that can boast better fishing. Someday I'll walk that riverbank again and catch smallmouth out from beneath the ledges and salmon in the deep green water. There's something about The Big K that keeps calling me back.
