This tail water fishery boasts great numbers of both wild "Redside Rainbow trout" and Columbia River Steelhead. This section of the Deschutes River flows with incredible white water and towering basalt canyons.
Your lower river journey begins below the Pelton Regulating Dam on the Warm Springs Reservation. From there the river flows fast and furious through the vast high desert and into the remote Deschutes River Canyon spilling into Maupin, Oregon, some 40 miles down river. We offer 3 to 5 day trips in this area focusing on spring and summer Rainbow Trout as well as Steelhead in the fall. Along with the upper canyon stretch we also offer guided fly fishing trips on the lower 30 miles to the mouth of the Columbia River for early entering Steelhead. This section is typically inundated with Steelhead by the first week in August and remains fishable through October. These early "arrivers" come aggressively to the traditional wet fly and often rise to skating flies. It's a little heart attack just waiting to happen. This water is big and open... an ideal environment for the two handed Spey rods.
Regardless of your Deschutes River Multi Day Fly Fishing Trip choice you can expect first class camp accommodations that include comfortable cots, roomy weather proof tents and even a hot shower. All you need to do is show up with your sleeping bag and your appetite and we take care of the rest. Oh yea, appetite, our food is out of site. This isn't beans and wieners on the campfire. This is Pork Tenderloin, Ahi Tuna, Top Sirloins all prepared by our camp chef..."The Bagger". Our advance boat called "the Bagger" is our river mule. The Bagger moves all your non-essentials and our entire camp down the river daily putting it all back together and awaiting our arrival in the evening. Without him the guides will have to cook and you don't want guide food while on you multi day fly fishing trip. After a fat dinner you'll enjoy falling asleep to the ramblings of the river as well as an occasional Burlington Northern freight train passing the canyon by. The remarkable setting that the Deschutes River offers makes for lifelong memories and great friendships….not to mention the amazing fly fishing Deschutes River has to offer. And the best part, you get to do it all over the next day. You awake on the banks of the Deschutes River to the smell of a hot and hearty breakfast that is if you didn't already jump off your cot and wader up for a little early morning fly fishing constitutional. Our typical day on the water includes a streamside lunch and fly fishing until you need rotator-cuff surgery. When your on a Deschutes River Multi Day Fly Fishing Trip there's always water around camp if you still got it in ya.
Our camp accommodates up to ten anglers comfortably and we try to maintain a 2:1 ratio when possible. We welcome even the non-fisher on the trip. The Deschutes River Canyon has a lot more to offer than Fly Fishing although we're not sure what that is.
