Camping, floating, & fishing on the Deschutes there is no better way to
spend a weekend. |
Happy client wet wading the Deschutes and
throwing dries to rising Redsides. |
Though you can’t fish from the boat. A drift
boat is a must on this large body of water. |
Bring good selection of both nymphs and dry
flies |
Golden Stone Flies and Salmon Flies both hatch
at the same time in the spring and provide a
much needed protein boost for the trout as they
come out of the winter months |
The scenery the Deschutes offers will take your
breath away. |
With gymnast type acrobatics and freight train
runs the wild Redsides are know for their fight. |
The dry fly hatches at last light can be the
prime time in the summer months. |

“Pull Heavy Kevy” holds up to his name once
again |
The Deschutes River Redside gets its name from
the dark red, almost purple, cheek plate and
stripe on the side of its body. |
Spey fishing has proven to be a very effective
technique for the summer and fall steelhead |
12 foot to 14 foot two handed rods cover the
water with consistency and less effort. |
Wild and hatchery steelhead enter the Deschutes in August. The River hold
fishable numbers of steelhead through late
November. |
Fall in the Northwest means STEELHEAD |
Multiple days on the river is the best of
experience while fly fishing for the elusive
Deschutes River steelhead. |

native steelhead in November with a spey rod. |
