The McKenzie River

This classic western Oregon river is located about 1 hour south of Salem (close to Eugene and Springfield) and is perfect for flyfishing right from the drift boat.  Several anadromous fish species are found in the McKenzie including spring Chinook Salmon and Summer Steelhead.  Dry fly fishing for trout is excellent from spring through late fall and this river offers great fishing opportunities for flyfisher's of all skill levels.  Click above for a hatch guide, current weather conditions, and a map of the McKenzie.  Be sure to check out our fishing report for the latest McKenzie River info.

The Nestucca River

This is one of our favorite coastal streams.  With an abundance of both winter and summer steelhead, salmon and cutthroat trout, this is a great river to fish almost any season of the year.  The Pacific Coast offers diverse fishing opportunities.  We book up early for fall estuary fishing for salmon and cutthroat trout and also for the winter native steelhead run in January through March. 

Located in central Oregon, is renown as one of the best native trout streams in America.  Summer steelhead and large rainbow trout provide an exciting challenge for the fly fisherman.  Late spring and early summer you can enjoy the famous salmon fly hatch where the fish feed voraciously on these large insects.  Then later, the warm weather brings on various other caddis, midge and mayfly hatches.  In late fall the steelhead fishing can be awesome.  These steelhead can be readily coaxed to a fly and offer good opportunities for even the novice steelheader.   The Deschutes River canyon is very scenic and the trip is worthwhile even if you don't fish.
