Do participants need to bring anything? Fishing gear for drift boats is provided. You can bring your own gear and waders if you like. You do not need waders for the drift boats. An Oregon fishing license is needed and not provided. What is provided? Rods, reels, tippet, flies, lunch.

As soon as I get an idea of how many people are participating, I can book the lodging. I can get a fair price on an Airbnb if I book soon.

You handle your own transportation. Delta and Alaska Airlines both fly into Eugene and Bend. I will be driving and spending a night on the road. I would suggest planning to spend a little more time in the area as the scenery is spectacular and the fishing is great. There are areas to walk and wade. There are beautiful waterfalls and fall foliage to enjoy, The McKenzie Pass and the Dee Wright Memorial at the summit is something you should not miss. Please contact me for details. I know the area well. I’m planning to rent an Airbnb or a house so that we can cook, and we can split the cost of meals.

There are some good restaurants in the area.

Please signup if you are interested in getting more information about this trip. The lodging cost will depend on how many people go. There will be a pre-trip meeting to go over all of the details and any questions you might have.
