Sandy River Guided Fly Fishing Trips

Winter & Spring Steelhead

The Sandy River, Oregon’s oldest wild and scenic river, offers some of the finest
fly fishing for winter steelhead in the Northwest. The Sandy originates from the
snow fields and glaciers on the dramatic flanks of Mt. Hood. The river flows west
towards the town of Sandy then heads north where it empties into the Columbia
River near the town of Troutdale. Most of the good fly water is classified as non-
motorized, no fishing from the boat. This lends itself to an undisturbed, peaceful
environment were wild life still walks the bank, ospreys fly majestically over the
river and steelhead come readily to the fly.

The Sandy is a big, brawling steelhead river. The raft trip alone is worth the price
of admission. Miles of classic steelhead water can be found while floating down
this beautiful river not far from Portland. Sandy River steelhead are not inhibited
by any of the Columbia River power dams so they are typically hard bodied,
chrome plated and fight with unsurpassed determination. An average fish will run
eight to ten pounds although the potential for fifteen to twenty pound fish is an
everyday reality.

Although the Sandy has steelhead in it almost every month of the calender, we
primarily target the winter fish which start showing up in late November/early
December and early summer fish through May.

The Sandy River offers classic winter steelhead fishing... Big flies, enticing pools,
lush forests and the never ending hope for a huge grab from a wild fish.
