Fishing, and bass fishing in particular, is starting to become a significant portion of what brings tourists to The Dalles area.  The Dalles Chamber of Commerce CEO Lisa Farquharson says a bass fishing tournament with 40 to 50 boats is coming at the end of month, and there will be two more later this summer and early fall plus others next year.  Farquharson notes the tournaments tend to make the recreational fisherman want to come here.  Farquharson says they have steered away from salmon fishing in their marketing efforts, noting the seasons for those fish lack stability.
