Sandy River Guided Fly Fishing Trip Itinerary
Other Links:

Your day will originate from the Troutdale. Oregon. We typically meet early in the
morning at the Park & Ride near Lewis and Clark State Park. If you are staying at the
Edgefield Hotel, we will pick you up there. We then head up river to the boat ramp in
our vehicle. Typically, we float from Dodge Park to Oxbow Park. Your guide will
contact you a night or two prior to your trip to set a meeting time.
You'll spend the next eight hours swinging your fly through the incredible steelhead
water of the Sandy. We utilize a raft to navigate the Sandy. Be prepared for some
exciting white water on your float. Despite the close proximity of the river to the
Portland Metro Area, the Sandy River Canyon is still a wild place with incredible
scenery.
We specialize in Spey casting for Sandy River steelhead. If you're new to Spey
casting, we have plenty of extra rods for you to use. While there is a learning curve,
most folks get the hang of it within the first fifteen minutes. Beginners don't fret!
Learning to Spey cast is actually much easier than single-hand casting. If you're
already casting a two-hander, we'll put you right into some of the finest steelhead
water you've ever fished.
In the mid-day, we'll break for lunch. Your guide will have a big stream-side lunch
which usually consists of deli sandwiches, chips, salad, and cookies. The will also
provide coffee, soft drinks, water and snacks throughout the day. Please let us know
if you have any special dietary needs ahead of time.
At the end of the day, we will return you to your vehicle. After spending a day with one
of our experienced guides, we guarantee you will walk away a better angler.
Although we can't control the attitude of the fish, the weather conditions, or the
stream flows, we promise to do the best with the elements we can control. This
includes providing the best gear, the best watercraft, a great lunch, and the highest
level of fishing instruction in the industry. Furthermore, we strive to give you a safe,
relaxing, memorable experience.
