The Rivers We Fish
North Umpqua River
Known worldwide for its breathtaking scenery and strong runs, the North Umpqua is a steelheader’s dream. With fast runs, deep pools, and crystal-clear water, it challenges even the most experienced anglers. Our guides know the best drifts and techniques to help you connect.
Main Umpqua River
The main Umpqua offers big-river steelheading at its finest. With multiple drifts available, it’s a reliable option throughout the season. We’ll cover water efficiently to maximize your chances of success.
South Umpqua River
The South Umpqua is equally productive, offering excellent opportunities for winter steelhead. This river is more accessible and provides a mix of action and teaching moments — perfect for anglers looking to hone their technique.
South Fork of the Coquille River
A gem for those who love smaller, intimate rivers, the South Fork of the Coquille provides steady action and a change of pace from the larger systems. It’s a favorite among clients who want a quiet, scenic setting with great steelhead potential.
What to Expect on Your Trip
Comfortable Boats and Safety First
You’ll fish from a safe, well-equipped drift boat designed for these rivers. We fisher from a 20 ft. drift boat with a 23ft sled on a 80 in. bottom. Safety and comfort are always our top priority.
Instruction Every Step of the Way
Whether it’s casting tips, learning how to read water, or fighting your first steelhead, our guides are by your side to make sure you succeed.
Memories That Last
We know these rivers are about more than catching fish. From misty mornings on the Umpqua to the heart-pounding strike of a steelhead, every trip delivers experiences you’ll remember for years.
