Depending on which river you float in Oregon, you may need the slippery rock wading practice. The Deschutes, famous in Sept/October for steelhead, doesn't allow you to fish out of a boat at all (weird) while other rivers are okay with it.
One easy way to be effective is to literally cast upstream with one stroke - the current will load the rod, and if you lower it to the water and throw it back upstream without a false cast, you can get great distance and avoid tangles if you are using a 2 fly rig. Just watch out as you are getting ready, I've had some awesome strikes from both trout and steelhead when the fly is just "hanging down" in the current. I've taught several newbies how to do this and they have done well.
