About Us
Our Water
From early summer through autumn, we fish the Deschutes River in north Central
Oregon. We are proud to be the only fly fishing guide service offering both day trips
and camp trips on the lower twenty-three mile stretch of the Deschutes. The river is
truly a unique fishery offering both world class summer steelhead and trout fishing.
The seductive Klickitat River in south central Washington is another great option in
the fall. Smaller and less intimidating than the nearby Deschutes, the "Klick" gives
anglers the chance to chase some of the largest summer run steelhead in the
Columbia Basin. Larimer Outfitters is the only fly fishing guide service permitted for
National Scenic Area. This includes the beautiful Spey water downstream of Pitt
Bridge.
If you're limited on time, the Hood River offers a great half day walk-in experience.
The Hood has a tremendous run of both winter and summer steelhead. We also
utilize the river for our private Spey casting lessons.
The winter finds us on the Sandy River and Clackamas River. The possibility of
hooking a truly big steelhead is an everyday reality on these beautiful rain forest
rivers. Miles of classic pools beg for a swung fly. Both rivers offer some of the finest
winter steelhead fishing in the Northwest.
If you're looking for a more remote winter steelhead experience, consider fishing one
of the incredible Oregon Coast rivers with guide Jeff Hickman. Jeff is our resident
coast expert. The North Coast is slowly being recognized as one of the greatest
winter fisheries in the Northwest.
