Our family had a fantastic experience with Deep Canyon. We were looking for a place where our…read more"budding" fishermen could learn about fly fishing. Not knowing much about fly fishing, I called the shop at least 3 times before booking to ask questions which were always patiently answered. The booking process was smooth and Tye (owner) called me back to confirm and make sure everything was clear about the meeting place, fishing licenses, gear, etc. Our guide also called and texted the day before to see if we had any questions and to reconfirm the meeting place. We had 3 children (10, 10 & 8) in our group and our guide Dylan was amazing. He was super patient with the kids and got them very interested in fishing. I was expecting them to stop after an hour but the kids loved it so much, they fished for the entire 4 hours. I would definitely book another fishing day with them the next time we're up in Central Oregon.

He is a highly skilled yet personable and patient guide that will make your fishing experience one to remember. Our trip involved taking my 14 yo son out in his first fly fishing outing and he managed not only to keep this 24x7 video gamer interested but excited and enthusiastic about our day-long outing. He also somehow managed to spend several minutes to show me some new casting techniques while quickly moving back and forth dealing with snags, tangles and the many fish unhooking and picture duties. Our trip was along the Crooked River, a local hot spot which hosts both native rainbow trout and whitefish. They must do something special to these fish who fight like ones many times their actual size. These entertaining fish are plentiful but smart, so knowing the proper flies and techniques will save you many hours of trial and error here. This is a truly special area that is both spectacularly beautiful and highly productive for the skilled fly fisherman. I've been in several guided outings but few have rivaled the completely satsifying trip we did with Rivers Bend. If you plan to fly fish in the Bend area, you will regret not spending your day with Rivers Bend.
