Triple T Outfitters delivers expert fishing charters and immersive canyon tours on the Crooked River and Lake Billy Chinook in Oregon. Learn what makes their guided trips a favorite for anglers and adventurers seeking a hands-on, authentic day outdoors.
Located in Culver, Oregon, Triple T Outfitters specializes in guiding anglers and nature enthusiasts through the striking landscapes of Central Oregon’s Crooked River Canyon and the outer reaches of Lake Billy Chinook. This area is defined by its rugged basalt cliffs and deep, winding river channels carved over millennia, offering a raw, vivid backdrop for fishing charters and scenic canyon excursions. The company operates half-day and full-day fishing charters led by Todd, an expert guide praised for his deep knowledge of the lake’s fish populations and the local ecosystem. Todd’s ability to adapt to changing conditions sets Triple T apart, whether battling springtime weather or chasing Kokanee salmon during peak runs.
The fishing experience combines patience and skill, but it’s also highly accessible—ideal for families and anglers of all skill levels seeking hands-on instruction and a rewarding catch. State-of-the-art gear and small group sizes ensure a personalized trip where every moment on the water counts. While the focus is Lake Billy Chinook, the Crooked River Canyon tours reveal dramatic geology and sweeping views that capture Central Oregon’s wild heart. Visitors often spot local wildlife such as bald eagles and mule deer, underscoring this region’s rich biodiversity.
Beyond guiding, Triple T Outfitters plays a role in the broader outdoor culture of the area.
