Oregon Guided Fly Fishing Trips

The Caddis Fly Angling shop offers a number of guided trips. Read below for descriptions and photos, and call the shop to schedule your trip: 541-342-7005.

McKenzie River Trout Fishing

The McKenzie River offers great fly fishing for wild trout almost year round. Throughout the spring, big wild redside rainbows cruise the lower river looking for big stoneflies and March Brown mayflies. Dry fly action can be hot, even when the weather is still cold. Lots of cutthroats throughout this section as well.

Through the summer, anglers will head upriver to the rapid strewn, classic sections of the McKenzie. Anglers will ply the turquoise, turbulent waters with an expert oarsman. You just might catch Bigfoot.

Fall is a fantastic time to fish the McKenzie, as foliage changes, summer crowds thin and the October Caddis hatch begins going off. It’s also the time of year we host the Annual McKenzie River Two-Fly Tournament, because it’s often when you can catch your biggest trout of the year.

Full Day for Two: $600
Mid Summer Trip: 6 hours with lunch $475

Middle Fork Willamette Trout Fishing

The Upper Willamette River is an excellent option for fly fishing for native trout, flowing out of the springs in the foothills of the Cascades just south of Oakridge, OR. There are some very large, wild fish in the Upper Willamette, and plenty of insect activity. This river has a different character from the McKenzie, but the hatch timing and fishing can be very similar.

Mid Summer Trip: 6 hours with lunch $475

Willamette River Steelhead

The Willamette River runs through downtown Springfield and Eugene, and can produce some monster hatchery steelhead throughout the late summer and early fall. The river can be surprisingly gorgeous despite this urban setting, and when the fishing is on, it’s fantastic. Good spey casting water, as well as opportunities to fish for steelhead out of the boat.

Steelhead morning Trip $475 for two, no lunch all gear included.

Guided Stillwater Fly Fishing Trips

We now offer guided stillwater fly fishing trips. Guide Adison Rook has been exploring fly fishing opportunities in local reservoirs and lakes for several years now, and he is ready to share. Adison utilizes modern fly tactics to successfully target multiple species. These trips offer a diverse fishing experience for the angler, with the opportunity for both bass and trout in a single session. Some of these bodies of water offer “by catch”, from Bull trout to Crappie. Half, and full day trips are possible, depending on client availability and best fishing times. Full day trips include snacks, lunch, and drinks. Lunch on a full day can be a sandwich you munch in between casts or a shoreside BBQ. All flies and fishing gear are provided on these trips. Anglers only need to bring a fishing license, the clothes you are comfortable fishing in for the given conditions, and a pair of polarized sunglasses. These trips offer a variety of fishing techniques from dries to indicators, loch style fishing to anchored up with sinking lines, depending on the season and location. At the moment these trips are for one angler only.

Book your trip today, and discover underutilized waters that have potential to put you on fish that you didn’t even know were on our radar! These trips are available from February-July depending on the year.

Oregon Winter Steelhead

Anybody can fish for steelhead when it’s 80-degrees and sunny, but if you want to catch the big boys, you have to fish the winter run. Winter steelheading can be amazing — dripping coastal rainforests, steelie-green water, chromed out fish sliding in on each incoming tide.

Full Day for Two: $600

Deschutes River

There is nothing better than waking up on a cool, clear morning at camp on the Deschutes River, grabbing a coffee and jumping into your waders. Your spey rod is already strung up, and you know you’ve got the first shot at the run below. You deserve at least one morning like that in your life.

North Umpqua Steelhead

So how many times are you going to get skunked before you break down and hire somebody? Let’s face it — there are a whole lot of giant steelhead in the North Umpqua River, and I’ll be damned if I can catch any of them. But the Caddis Fly Shop employs guides who know the river’s fabled runs and fat wild steelies by name. Seriously, save yourself years of heartache and just book a guide for this one.

Full Day for Two: $650
