Fly Fishing Guide, Deschutes River, Mark Bachmann, 40+ years experience, Trout, Steelhead, Salmon Trips, Year Around

By: Mark Bachmann - 40+ years experience. Prices How to get to Mack's Canyon

You are waist deep in the riffle, shadows of the basalt ramparts above turn the water golden brown. The fly rides in the surface film under light tension, the long rod balances lightly in your hand. Your eyes wander to the Great Blue Heron stoically perched in an alder tree across the river. You are content in this soft fluid world.

The line tightens in a slow, but deliberate pull and the heavy fish twists and turns trying to dislodge your hook. Your rod arches with his power and the line melts from your screaming reel. An incredible distance away the huge silver and

gunmetal fish bolts through the surface. You are caught in the frenzy of your first Deschutes steelhead and time stands still...
Extended river camping is my specialty. We will be camped on prime water. In addition, we have another fifteen miles of prime water; all of which are within easy reach from camp with our big powerful jet boat.

You get up early after a great night's rest on a deeply padded cot. You let the sage-laden air fill your nostrils. Drink a steaming cup of coffee, eat some pastries, then don your waders and step into the sparkling river as your guide explains the finer points of fishing for trout, steelhead and salmon in this desert paradise.
Your fully licensed and insured guide is an avid fly fishermen and has many years'

experience landing & releasing these beautiful fish. He has lived and worked many days in the area where you will be fishing. You are part of his fishing team. He provides the boat, camping gear and food, special flies and expertise. It is his job to operate the boat effectively and safely, entertain you, cook, set camp, locate fish, teach skills and help you in any way he can.........
