Tours in Oregon.

Deschutes Outfitters is a premier fly fishing guide service based in Sisters, Oregon, specializing in drift boat and wade fishing on the Deschutes River—one of the most celebrated steelhead tailwaters in the American West. The lower Deschutes below Pelton Dam runs cold and clear year-round, fed by regulated flows from Lake Billy Chinook, creating ideal habitat for wild summer steelhead, native redband rainbow trout, and Pacific lamprey. The river corridor cuts through high desert basalt rimrock and ponderosa pine benchlands, offering guided half-day wade trips near Maupin and full-day drift boat floats through the Deschutes River State Recreation Area. Summer steelhead arrive in numbers from July through October, drawing fly anglers from across the world to swing classic Pacific Northwest wet fly patterns in riffles and tailouts. All guides are licensed Oregon outfitters with OPRD river permits, and the outfitter offers instruction for beginners alongside technical guiding for experienced steelheaders.

Rogue Wilderness Adventures has been guiding multi-day and day raft trips down the Wild Rogue River corridor since 1978, launching from Galice and Grants Pass through the protected Wild Rogue Wilderness in southern Oregon. The lower Rogue is a federally designated Wild and Scenic River, carving 40 miles of canyon through old-growth Douglas fir, Port Orford cedar, and myrtle wood forests before reaching Foster Bar. Class III–IV rapids like Rainie Falls, Mule Creek Canyon, and Blossom Bar challenge experienced paddlers, while Class II family sections near Galice offer a gentler introduction to the canyon. Multi-day trips follow primitive riverside lodges and drift camps maintained under a special Forest Service permit, with guided fly fishing and wildlife watching—black bear, river otter, and osprey are common sightings. Day trips run spring through fall; the multi-day wilderness float is widely considered the premier wilderness river experience in the Pacific Northwest.
