Deschutes River Fly Fishing Guide Service

THE SERVICE: Experience. Know How. Fun.

Deschutes River Anglers specializes in one thing: Providing the most memorable fly fishing experience Oregon has to offer. Whether you are joining us to take advantage of our years of experience guiding anglers for big oregon Redside Rainbow trout and native oregon Steelhead on the famed Lower Deschutes River, or stalking large Brown and Rainbow trout from the banks of the Owyhee River, our goal is the same: Give you the best fly fishing experience we can and make sure you have tons of fun!

Time on the river is worth a thousand fish. We’ve spent years finding them, and we are eager to show you what we have learned. The Lower Deschutes stretches 109 miles long, and with our experience we can show you how to fish every inch of it. The tailwater stretch of the Owyhee River can call for multiple tactics in the same day for up to 20+ inch Browns, and we love showing you where they are and getting them into the net.

THE PHILOSOPHY: Our boats, your trip.

So you can’t roll cast or tie a nail knot. No big deal. You refuse to nymph. We understand your stubbornness. No camping gear? No problem! You don’t know jack about entomology. We know some Latin and it’s friggin’ weird. DRA caters to all skill levels and fly fishing schools of thought. Our job is to show you skills to help you catch more fish. If you already have the skills, even better, we just show you where the fish live (or tell us where to pull over, it’s your trip!)

THE TRIPS: One day, One week, One hundred people?

Give us enough time and we can put together any kind of trip you would like. We specialize in one to five day fly fishing trips on the Lower Deschutes River (with longer trips absolutely available!), and “Walk-N-Wade” trips along the Owyhee River below the Owyhee dam. Everything from BBQ lunches, weather proof canvas wall tents, to flies are taken care of. See the menu at left for a full description and photos of our camp and services.

FISHING SUMMARY

It’s time to get the fishing rods out and get out there! The 2012 season is now officially open and the Lower Deschutes is a great place to be. The Lower Deschutes should be one of the few good places that is open and easy to get to since you won’t be able to get to a lot of the High Cascade lakes and rivers very early. If you are thinking about doing guided trips this year, either on the Lower D or the Owyhee, booking early is the best way to help you get the dates and guides that you want.
