Float down the world-famous McKenzie River and fish from an original wooden McKenzie Drift Boat. This boat will get you to fishing holes where most boats will not. Bert’s Guide Service offers half-day, full-day and evening trips to combine top-notch Fly Fishing with great scenery, January through December.
Fishing for rainbow, red side, cutthroat, steelhead, and mountain whitefish is great the beginner, yet challenging for the seasoned angler. These beautiful fish have an abundant food source due to the salmon runs in spring and autumn, with big summertime hatches of river insects. They are excellent fighting fish and have gorgeous coloring. Your guide’s knowledge of casting and entomology enables you to catch more fish.
Groups can be accommodated in several boats, meeting up for lunch along the river on a full-day trip. Sharing lunch with your group allows you to switch partners, trade fish stories, and create cohesive unity for your group.
The changing scenery, wildlife, fishing, and friendly skilled guides will make your trip on the McKenzie a day to remember. Riverside lodging is provided by the McKenzie River Inn on the banks of the McKenzie River in the heart of the Cascade Mountains.
