Your trip will begin at Heritage Landing at the mouth of the Deschutes River in the
early afternoon.  Heritage is located about fifteen minutes east of The Dalles,
Oregon. From there, we ascend the river's amazing canyon in our 20' jet boats to a
campsite up river.  Many folks comment that the jet sled ride is worth the price of
admission alone!  We bash through five class III rapids as we climb up the
breathtaking, high desert canyon. The camp will be set up prior to your arrival by our
guides and camp host.

Our camp will be on a beautiful piece of trout water.  Despite the fact that we are in
the wilderness, our steelhead camp is very comfortable.  You'll be staying in a large,
four season tent with cots and sleeping pads.  A large dinning tent protects us from
the elements while cooking and dinning.  You will eat well during your stay.  
Furthermore, we also provide a private solar shower.  Whenever possible, we try to
camp near one of the many clean outhouses.

You'll spend the following days fishing the West's best kept trout secret.  The lower
Deschutes Canyon is a trout fisherman's dream. Your days will begin at 7:00am.
After a hardy breakfast, we head out in the jet boat to fish new water.  We fish hard
until mid-day then return to camp for big lunch and a relaxing afternoon.  Most folks
elect to grab a nap in the shade after lunch although camp water is fair game.

In the afternoon, we head out in search of new water.  Typically, we head back to
water near camp with enough time to fish the last hour and the evening hatch.  We
finish off the day with a light dinner and cocktails under the desert sky.

We use many different fly fishing techniques throughout the day.  We love to fish dry
flies when the fish are willing to come up.  Often times, a dry/dropper combo is the
way to fish the endless pocket water on the Deschutes.  However, we do fish a lot of
indicator rigs when we need to.  We also swing wet flies and occasionally
streamers.  Because fishing is prohibited from watercraft on the Deschutes, we use
the boat strictly for transportation.  Your day will be spend "bucket hopping" some of
the best trout water you'll ever fish.

The final morning of your stay, we fish until late morning and return to Heritage
Landing around 11:00am.   After spending a few days with one of our experienced
guides, we guarantee you will walk away a better angler.  Although we can't control
the attitude of the fish, the weather conditions, or the stream flows, we promise to do
the best with the elements we can control. This includes providing the best gear, the
best watercraft, incredible food, a kick-ass camp and the highest level of fishing
instruction in the industry.  Furthermore, we strive to give you a safe, relaxing,
memorable experience.
