Lower Deschutes River | Guided Float Trip - Full Day

My son and I were blessed to experience the Lower Deschutes Full day float with our guide Sean. Though we were dealing with cold front conditions that made for challenging fishing we managed to hook up with a mix of whitefish and rainbows. This included my son’s first ever fish on a fly rod! More importantly we both learned a great deal about reading water and “nymphing” under Sean’s guidance. He is a great teacher and both of us left the experience significantly improved in our casting and mending. I asked a ton of questions and he was patient to answer all of them thoroughly. Without a doubt the scenery and water is fantastic and our guide was an expert both in handling the drift boat and in that section of water! I would also have to say that the staff in the store both in the trip booking (we traveled from AZ) and in providing both rental equipment and local expertise for our unguided fishing times were exceptional. Fin & Fire went above and beyond in their customer service. I would definitely book a trip with them again and would highly recommend Sean to others regardless of experience level.

Dante is a great guide that truly enjoys the sport and wants his clients to have an awesome day on the river. Thank you Sir!

Beautiful float through the high desert lava environment. Salmon flies were present but the fish we caught were on small nymph droppers below a chubby. No takes on the latter. We had a fun day.
