Lower Deschutes River Day Trips
Targets: Trout- year round. Salmon and steelhead- July through December
Cost: $550 for one or two anglers per boat, $650 for three anglers per boat
Duration: 8 hours
Day trips occur either in the Warmp Springs or Maupin areas where we float any one of a number of stretches from 8 to 15 miles in length. The guide will work patiently with beginning anglers on how to properly set up a rod and coach them through the basics of casting to achieve different fly presentations. More experienced anglers will find plenty of challenge fishing upstream with dry flies to rising redsides along the bank, dry-dropper or euro-nypmphing in riffles and swinging flies through riffles and runs with a two-handed rod.
Please understand: There is no fishing from a boat on the Lower Deschutes River, per state regulations- we exit the drift boat at each spot and wade fish. Comfortable wading gear is a must. Rods, tackle, flies and lunch provided.
Not included in cost of trip: fishing license(s), BLM Boaters Pass, wading equipment.
