Experience the Magic of Winter Steelhead

Step into a world of serenity and adventure as you drift through the legendary geology of the North Umpqua River. Guided by seasoned locals who have spent countless hours mastering its waters, this is not just a fishing trip- it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of Oregons wild beauty.

Picture yourself in a classic wooden drift boat, crafted for both elegance and utility, gliding over the emerald waters. Without the hum of motors to disrupt the peace, the river’s natural symphony surrounds you-the call of an Eagle, the whisper of the current, and the rhythmic dip of the oars in the water.

Your guides are not just experts in finding winter steelhead-they are stewards of this river. Their intimate knowledge of every riffle and run ensures you’ll be casting in all the right places, and their calm expertise lets you relax and immerse yourself in the experience.

With every cast, you’ll feel the thrill of possibility as you target one of the Pacific Northwests most iconic fish. These trips are designed for those who crave quieter, more intentional connection with nature, leaving the hustle of modern life behind.

During the summer we fish this same section of river for Beautiful Rainbow and Cut-throat Trout. Our favorite way target these is with the fly rod, and there is nothing more exhilarating than catching a beautiful Cut-Throat Trout on a light weight fly rod! These beautiful fish average 12 inches and run up to 15 inches frequently.
