LOWER DESCHUTES

MULTI-DAY FLOATS

Experience the ultimate blend of adventure and comfort with a multi-day fly fishing and camping excursion on the Lower Deschutes River, hosted by Legendary Outfitters. Journey into the heart of Oregon’s wild and scenic Deschutes River canyon, where the rugged beauty of the landscape meets world-class fishing. This remote stretch of river is home to native Redband Trout, Bull Trout, Steelhead, and Salmon, offering anglers an unparalleled opportunity to cast their lines in lightly pressured waters.

Overview

Our multi-day trips provide the perfect escape for those seeking more than just a day on the river. Whether you choose a 2, 3, or 4-day adventure, our most popular option being the 3-day, 2-night trip, you’ll immerse yourself in breathtaking canyon scenery, thriving fish populations, and the tranquility of the high desert. After a rewarding day of fishing and exploring, unwind in our comfortable riverside camp, complete with delicious meals and the camaraderie of fellow anglers. We aim to deliver a “glamping” experience, ensuring you enjoy the comforts of home while embracing the great outdoors.

Join us for an unforgettable journey on the Lower Deschutes River—where every cast brings you closer to nature, and every day ends with a campfire story under the stars.

Sample Itinerary

The Night Before Your Adventure:
We recommend spending the night in the nearby towns of Madras or Redmond to ensure a smooth start to your trip. We’re happy to suggest lodging options upon request. Please plan to arrange your own transportation.

Note: Your vehicle will be safely shuttled from the boat launch (put-in) to the take-out and securely parked for the duration of the trip.

Day 1 – Launch Day
8:00 AM: Meet at Warm Springs or Trout Creek Boat Launch. Greet your guide and fellow adventurers. Load your personal gear into provided dry bags, which will be transported to camp by the gear boat. Get assigned to your boat for the day and prepare to hit the river.

On the River: Spend the day floating and fishing, with a midday break for a freshly prepared shoreline lunch and time to relax in the shade. Reminder: Fishing on the lower Deschutes is wade-in or from shore—no boat angling is permitted.

Evening at Camp (Approx. 5–6 PM Arrival): Settle into camp, hang up your waders, and unwind. Enjoy happy hour appetizers and drinks while you relax or fish near camp. A hearty dinner is served as the sun begins to set. After a full day on the water, rest up under the stars for another day of adventure.

Day 2 (and Beyond)
First Light: Hot coffee is ready as the sun rises over the canyon. A full breakfast is served once everyone is up and moving. After breakfast, we pack up camp and depart around 9:00 AM for another day on the water.

On the River: Full day of floating, fishing, and relaxing, with lunch onshore. Arrive at a new camp in the evening and enjoy another round of appetizers, dinner, and relaxation. Repeat this rhythm each day—river life at its finest.

Final Day – Take-Out
Firsh your way downstream toward the take-out at Harpham Flat, aiming to arrive around 2:00 PM.Your vehicle will be waiting for you, giving you plenty of time to comfortably head home, check into a hotel, or make your way to the airport.
