Rondy:  Deschutes River #2

Dates:  October 8-10, 2018  

Leader:  Mike Souter 415-971-7561 mailto:mks@luminae-souter.com 

Number of anglers:  7

Description:  This Rondy, for 7 experienced anglers, is a 3-day guided float and wade fishing adventure on the lower Deschutes River in central Oregon, where we will fish for native summer Steelhead and "Red side" Rainbow Trout.  Guides will take us through miles of both calm and white water and scenic canyons where we will periodically take out to wade-fish streamers, nymphs, or dry flies, depending on the conditions (no fishing from the drift boats). 

The trip will both begin and end in Bend, Oregon, at the Confluence Fly Shop, where we will meet our guides, get licenses and boat passes, pick up some flies, and park our cars (guides will shuttle us from the shop and back). We will put in near Madras (about an hour north of Bend) and then take out 3 days later near Maupin.  Our guides will be http://www.deepcanyonoutfitters.com/

Bend, OR, is about an 8-1/2 hour drive from San Francisco. There is an airport in nearby Redmond for those who prefer to fly.  We should plan on arriving a day early and staying over the night after the Rondy.

There will be a pre-meeting to discuss more logistics, gear, carpools, etc. (date tbd).

Suggested Gear:  5-7 wt single-handed fly rods with floating lines, studded boots, wading staff, and a PFD (personal flotation device)*. Anglers must also supply their own sleeping bags, pillow, personal items, liquor, flies, and Oregon fishing license and boater's pass. Guides will supply tents, sleeping pads and cots. (*Note that wading on the Deschutes can be tricky due to the large angular basalt rocks.)  

There will be a dedicated gear boat that will haul our gear, set up camp, and cook great meals. Personal items that are only needed in camp can be packed in a large dry bag to be supplied by the guides and transported in the gear boat.  Bring your own small dry bag (or waterproof pack) with a change of clothes, rain jacket, fleece, and any small personal items that you may want to keep handy in your boat.  

Cost:  The fee for this Rondy is $1,091.50  

Other expenses will be guide gratuities, trasportation to and from Bend, and lodging the nights before and after the trip.
