Lower Deschutes Steelhead Fishing Report by Dave Grigsby

Trip Taken: Lower Deschutes River Steelhead

Pete was our guide. His expertise and knowledge of the river got us safely up through the large rapids of the Lower Deschutes River to our fishing spot. We caught several nice steelhead and had a glorious day on the river. This is a bucket list fishing trip for sure. The lower Deschutes canyon is a magical place. Book this trip! He is entertaining and is a great teacher.

There's a reason I keep booking this steelhead fishing trip!
Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
