Bend, ORegon Fly Fishing Guide Trips

on the Crooked River! Half and Full Day, Walk and Wade Fly Fishing Trips For "Wild"Rainbow Trout!

A Bend, Oregon fly fishing guide trip on the Crooked River.

River Borne Outfitters offers day and half day, guided fly fishing trips on the Crooked River, a scenic high desert river 35 minutes east of Bend, Oregon. The beauty and productivity of the Crooked River make it a popular destination for many Central Oregon fly fishers and visitors alike.

The Crooked River is a tail water fishery that has a large population of wild "Redside" rainbow trout and whitefish. As a result of being dam controlled the section of the Crooked River below Bowman Dam experiences stable, cold water temperatures and prolific bug hatches making for ideal fish habitat. The best fishing and where we focus our efforts is the 10 miles of river below the dam.

The Crooked River is the best river to learn to fly fish on in Central Oregon!
