Multi-Day Floats

River days. Canyon nights.

Experience the perfect blend of adventure and comfort on a multi-day fly fishing and camping trip on Oregon’s Lower Deschutes River.

Explore the rugged canyon while fishing for native Redband Trout, Steelhead, Salmon and Bull Trout in pristine, lightly pressured water. Choose a 2, 3 or 4 day trip. Our most popular is the 3 day, 2 night float.

After each day on the river, unwind at a well-appointed riverside camp with great food and “glamping” comforts. We handle camp, the cooking and the fishing gear, so every evening ends with stories by the fire under a sky full of stars.
