Situated in Eugene, Oregon, Fishing With Ferris Guide Service offers a standout fly fishing experience across some of the region’s most celebrated waters, including the McKenzie and Umpqua Rivers. This area is renowned for its emerald forests, vibrant river ecosystems, and the white-capped flow that carves through volcanic basalt formations, offering anglers both picturesque views and prime fishing lanes. Ferris, the guide behind this service, brings a deep local knowledge and approachable style that transforms novices and seasoned fly fishers alike into confident anglers.

What sets Fishing With Ferris apart is the tailored approach to each trip, adapting to weather, water conditions, and angler skill levels. Clients praise the hands-on instruction in fly casting, knot tying, and reading water currents, ensuring everyone lands fish. Ferris’s ability to put clients on smallmouth bass hotspots in early season or to float long stretches with strategically paced breaks — including cooking out on the water — enhances the immersion and endurance needed for all-day fishing.

These trips capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest outdoors through lush river corridors framed by Douglas-fir and western red cedar, habitats for native wildlife like bald eagles and river otters. The McKenzie River, known for its clear water from glacial sources, offers an ideal setting for fly fishing, while the Umpqua River’s diverse fishery provides robust action for bass enthusiasts.

Whether you’re an eager beginner or an experienced angler mightily hungry for the catch, Fishing With Ferris offers a practical, skill-building, and fun experience. It’s a gateway to Oregon’s aquatic wilderness—accessible, instructive, and truly rewarding.
