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

You are waist deep in the riffle, the 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 and we have fifteen miles of prime water; all of which are within easy reach from camp at all times. You get up early 

after a great night's rest in a very comfortable camp and let the sage-laden air fill your nostrils. Drink a steaming cup of coffee; 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,

 Schools are two days, one night camped on the river...

teach skills and help you in any way he can.........

The Deschutes River is regulated so that all fishing is done while hiking or wading. 
Fishing from a boat is not allowed. 
I use a large stable, state-of-the-art Alumaweld Jet Boat for transportation.  
This boats haul lots of gear and will give you maximum comfort and access to all parts of the river.

I provide all meals and camping gear.  You will sleep on a comfortable padded cot in a large, secure dome tent (double occupancy).  Cooking and eating is done in a screen house.  
The potty has its own special tent for privacy.  
A hot water shower and privacy shower stall will be available at all times.
Meals can be customized to fit any dietary requirements. 
I do not furnish sleeping bags, waders or personal items. 

Prices do not include State Fishing Licenses.
