A dream come true, yes I do believe that would be your thoughts after experiencing our Rogue River Fall Drift Fishing Trip. Whether you're a beginning fisherman or have fished all of your life the Rogue River offers a unique experience for everyone.

Our trips begin at Graves Creek and for 3 days and 43 miles we will drift through the beautiful Rogue River wild and scenic canyon. In 1976 the Rogue River was entered into an act of congress called "the wild and scenic act of 1968" This act was aimed at protecting and preserving the present state of the river. Since then there has been no building or development. To protect against crowding the Rogue River can only be accessed by obtaining a permit. These laws have allowed the Rogue River to remain unchanged with it's scenic beauty undiminished.

Nothing compares to this ultimate wilderness experience. As you drift the Wild and Scenic Rogue canyon with its rugged white water and placid pools you will not only enjoy the fishing but also the scenic beauty and abundant wildlife. While drifting the river you will see Osprey, wild turkeys, bald Eagles, otters, turtles, dear and maybe even a black bear. Your guide will point out historic interests and tell historic tails. You can walk up and see Zane Gray's cabin where he spent a lot of time steelhead fishing and writing his famous western novels. Take a short hike up to the Rogue historic museum where you can learn about the first white settlers to the canyon and read about the Rogue Indians.

September begins our Rogue River Fall Drift Fishing Trips. We offer these trips the months of September, October and November. At this time the world famous half ponder steelhead (nicked named by Zane Gray) and well known for being aggressive fly biters are migrating up the Rogue River, as well as the adult summer steelhead, large Chinook salmon and Coho salmon. A couple of years ago while on one of our trips Ron Brady landed a 62-1/2 pound salmon while fishing below rainy falls, at the time it was the largest found on record.

Depending on the time of year there are many different fishing techniques used on the Rogue River: Fly fishing, spin casting, bait bouncing and plug trolling. Our guides are masters at all of them and will best fit the tactic used to the current fishing conditions. For your convince we provide all the best fishing rods and tackle as well as all the Flies and bait.

Our specially designed McKenzie River drift boat are truly the Rolls Royce of water craft, These boats are designed to be maneuverable in white water while being stable and comfortable to fish from. With one guide and two guests per drift boat, you are sure to get all the individual care and attention needed to make your trip unforgettable.

Don't worry about going hungry. Your guides will host you each day to a tasty shore lunch. Everything you will find here is home made from breads, cakes, cookies, salads to roasted lunch meats and everything you could ever put on a sandwich. You may help provide some of the lunch. We will barbecue some of the days catch, fresh steelhead or salmon is hard to beat.
