Opening day is just around the corner, and we’re now less than six weeks away from the entire 100 miles of the Lower Deschutes being open. It’s always one of the most exciting times of the year as the river comes back to life and we kick off another season on the water.

Owyhee Spring Season
Our spring Owyhee season has officially filled up. Thank you to everyone who booked trips with us this spring. We will be heading back out in August for hopper season, and we still have a few open dates available.

John Day Outlook
The John Day bass season could arrive a bit earlier this year due to the lower snowpack. June is also shaping up to be a great time for bass fishing on our camp trips this season.

Steelhead Season
If you’re hoping to fish steelhead this year, it’s a good idea to reach out sooner rather than later as the calendar is filling up quickly. We generally begin targeting steelhead around the second week of September and fish through mid-November.

If you'd like to get a trip on the books or have any questions about the upcoming season, feel free to reach out. We’re looking forward to another great year on the river and hope to see you out there.

Tight lines,

Cory
