Book Your Trip On The Spectacular Grande Ronde River

Whether you are an advanced or novice steelhead fisherman, the Grande Ronde River has it all..

steelhead fishing guideUnlike other steelhead fishing guide services that offer the same trip day after day, there is no "average" day on the Grande Ronde River. Each and every day offers its own unique surprise. Your day starts with a great home style breakfast at Boggan's Oasis overlooking the river. Once you board the MacKenzie style drift boat, your real journey begins. An eight mile float through the road less canyon section will leave you dreaming for "just one more day." The river snakes and twists through the canyon revealing prime steelhead fishing spots around every corner. From October thru April, the steelhead pile into the Grande Ronde from the Snake with each freshet of rain.

Let Me Teach You To Catch Steelhead On A Fly...

steelhead flyfishingFly fishermen dominate the month of October. There is no better time or place to catch a steelhead with a fly rod than on the Grande Ronde River during October. Anglers worldwide commence on the Grande Ronde during October just for the chance to catch a steelhead with a dry fly. November thru April offers many different opportunities to learn from the variety of steelhead catching techniques we employ.

Teaching becomes an important part of the day, as you learn the ins and outs of the most sought after game fish in the Northwest. The mild weather the Grande Ronde receives during the winter offers a great escape from the sometimes cold Northwest winters.

Don't Forget Your Hat And Sunglasses...

Daytime temperatures will hover around 60 degrees all season, displacing any winter blues you might have. I am the one guide that serves all people "fishing guide." Whether you are an advanced or novice steelhead fisherman, the Grande Ronde River has it all..
