Day Trips
Drift through the desert canyon and cast for native Redband Trout and seasonal Steelhead on Oregon’s most iconic river.
The lifeblood of the high desert.
Originating in the Cascade Mountains, the Deschutes River flows 252 miles north to meet the Columbia.
The Lower Deschutes, from Pelton Dam to the river’s mouth, is home to a variety of prized species, including native Redband Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout, Steelhead and Salmon. This world-renowned stretch offers breathtaking canyon scenery, thriving fish populations, prolific insect hatches and comfortable weather, creating the perfect environment for a memorable day of fly fishing.
Our most popular trip, for good reason.
