About
This is a steelhead trip where we will be swinging steelhead flies for them. Flies will be provided. It is strongly encouraged that you have your own two handed rod setup for use. It’s best for both of us and I can help dial in your casting and make sure everything is set up correctly. I can provide a rod if you are brand new to this and really want to learn.
More Info
Meeting locations will vary, but will normally be on the McKenzie River. We will send you the meeting location the day before our fishing trip.
