The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Lisa Farquharson is taking part in Fish Camp, an annual event based out of Peach Beach Park near Maryhill State Park that brings together members of the outdoors media and those in the fishing industry. Farquharson’s mission is to connect with those media members to further engrain The Dalles as a destination for those seeking great places to fish. Farquharson says fishing has become a larger part of the Eastern Gorge tourism sector, noting the Port of The Dalles is reporting at least a 40% increase in dock and boat ramp use. She adds that reflects positively for hotel and restaurant traffic.
