A day of guided fly fishing on the Crooked River is a great idea for anglers of all skill levels. If you are experienced, our guides will work with you to refine the exact techniques that have proven most successful. If you’ve never touched a fly rod, we will help get you into a position to make simple presentations that are typically the most productive. Then we’ll land all your fish for you! We specialize in taking beginners to the Crooked River and getting them into fish. A typical guided fly fishing trip on the Crooked River begins at our shop on the west side of Bend around 9:00 in the morning. We will get you fitted in waders and boots, pick some flies, make sure everyone has their license, and then head out for the river. Our guides have rods that are well suited to this small river. Once out there, your guide will rig up rods while you don waders and boots. We’ll have a brief tutorial session, talking through the intricacies of wading and casting techniques, and then fish! During your time on the river, your guide will constantly make suggestions and rig changes as necessary. If you’ve booked a full day, we will break for a lunch of BBQ chicken or steak, fresh green salad, chips, and salsa finished off with a delicious cookie. And then back into the river with renewed vigor.
