Oregon is supposed to be trout fishing heaven so I wanted to expose my kids (8 & 9) to it and Fly and Field had a great guided package for 4 of us. We went a day early to the shop (the shop is beautiful) to get outfitted and the next morning when we met Braden at the shop we were ready to go. We followed him for about 45 minutes to the Crooked River and he had all the gear set up for us. We changed into our waders, grabbed the poles and headed down to the river. Wish fishing was always this easy! Braden was a great teacher. He explained the river and its contours, the fish and what they eat and how to effectively cast. Even my girls got it pretty quickly with his help. We only took one break for lunch and Braden had some great sandwiches and snacks for us but I really wanted to get back on the river. He saw that and let me know that I could take my time and that we would get a full day on the water no matter how long we took for lunch. I got 3 trout and a couple of white fish, my wife got 2 trout and my girls got 1. I could have stayed out there forever but the temp was dropping and the family went into the car so I reluctantly left before getting yelled at. Definitely a first class operation fun by people who really know their stuff. Hopefully next time I can do a Deschutes drift fishing trip next time! read more

I'm out of state - big thanks to these guys for going above and beyond helping me get a gift for my son.

Sweet shop with a super helpful crew and solid local knowledge. Always a good spot to stop in and talk fishing. Gear selection is decent, but compared to other shops in the area, the tippet, flies, tying materials, and rods are a little underwhelming. Still, a cool place. read more

Just got off a 3 day trip with my two sons down the Deschutes River with the folks from Fly and Field. From the first stop to virtually our last, our guides Josh and Justin, had us on fish. They handled the flat boats throughout our journey through some of the prettiest country I have ever seen like the pros they are. Glenn set up perfect camps each night and provided two outstanding dinners along with two hearty and delicous breakfasts. The memories we made over the 3 days will last a lifetime and I am so thankful to all the folks at Fly and Field for making it possible! read more

Good selection of fly rods and gear! The manager, Jordan Romne is a skilled guide and a big help when you're toiling over your next big buy! read more

Always helpful, knowledge and willing to talk about what is really happening in the area. Straightforward staff and great selection of equipment and flies. read more

Just got done with an incredible day on the Deschutes river with our guide, Adam! It was my friend's first time fly fishing and Adam made sure she not only had fun but caught a few fish as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great outdoor experience when visiting Bend. Big kudos to Adam for being super friendly and making this the highlight of our trip so far. He was very knowledgeable about the area (has been fishing up there his whole life) and definitely helped with untangling the many lines we crossed :) We will definitely be back! read more

I pulled up. I put my mask before getting out of my car. I looked up as a customer was exiting without a mask and I looked inside and the, employee wasn't wearing a mask either. Neither have a mask under theri chins or partially deployed or anything. Did both of them just take their masks off the very second I pulled up? Not likely. I left. I see my parents in a couple of days. They are in their 80s. I can't spend my money where personal politics or laziness is more important than the health of my community or my family. read more

My wife and I are both huge noobs when it comes to fly fishing. Prior to this expedition, my wife had never held a rod and I had only been fly fishing twice. We were visiting from out of state so I ended up choosing Fly and Field strictly based on their website and Yelp reviews. We settled on a half day and Glenn took us out. We met with Dave in the shop day-of and he got us squared away with waders etc. We then followed Glenn to the Crooked River where we had a great time. I caught 6 rainbow ranging from 4-8" and my wife caught a rainbow and a whitefish. Beautiful scenery and a great learning experience with Glenn. It wasn't a problem for us, but I have read other reviews in which individuals would get dropped off at the shop and not have a car to follow their guide to the fishing site. I don't recall and communication with Fly and Field regarding bringing a vehicle that will be able to go off road a bit. Again, didn't impact our day at all, as we have an SUV. But I think it would be worth noting for future clients so that they can be prepared. Not enough of an issue to demote to 4 stars though because we really had such a great time and would definitely make the same choice again! Thanks Glenn, Dave and Fly and Field read more

Called kind of last minute and booked a half day for my son and I. We met our guide Eddie at a spot near Big Bend campground. Eddie has been a guide with the Company a long time and had a lot of local knowledge. I had been fly fishing once but my son had not. He was super patient and also moved us around on different parts of the river trying different casting techniques. The guide makes or breaks these adventures and Eddie was awesome! read more

My husband and I recently traveled to Central Oregon to stay at the Brasada Ranch and received a recommendation from them for a fly fishing guide from Fly & Field Outfitters. We ended up booking a half-day excursion with one of their guides. We met our guide, Adam Sather, at a campground area about 20 minutes from the resort and walked down to a beautiful river. Adam was an excellent guide and taught us a ton about fly fishing and the flora, fauna, and other wildlife around the river area. He was picking up rocks and showing us the different "creatures" in the river that acted as food for fish. We went up, down, and across the river and caught tons of fish. Along the way, Adam entertained us with his vast knowledge. Last but not least, I had a physical disability from a recent illness, and Adam gave me the extra assistance and encouragement I needed to have a great day on the river. I highly recommend Fly & Field Outfitters for their excellent and easy service to set up and book an outing, especially Adam Sather, a top-notch guide. read more

Went fishing with Griff yesterday...a float trip on the lower Deschutes. Griff was a great guide and helped us catch the cool/unique red banded trout. I am a beginner fly fisherman and my wife is intermediate to advanced. Griff was able to work with both of us, switching with ease between the two skill levels we had. The all day trip was productive for fishing and the scenery of the high desert was grand. We also stopped by the shop the day before to get some gear and local fishing advice. The store staff was super helpful and routed us to a couple nearby fishing spots. read more

There may not be a better fly shop in the country. Wonderful and helpful people with a fantastic selection of gear and flies. I've been a client for going on 5 years now, starting with a guided trip and more recently added to my gear and advice. Excellent local knowledge and friendly faces read more

We had an awesome day on the Crooked River with our guide Adam. I am a total newbie and my better half is far more experienced. I booked with Fly and Field after doing a ton of research and we could not have been more pleased. Adam was simply outstanding. He was patient and encouraging to an intimidated newb like myself. He took great care and time in educating but made sure I was actively learning. He even taught an experienced guy some new tricks. I actually landed a fish my first cast. He hadn't even taught me to reel one in yet. How's that for beginners luck? I chalk it up to Adams great teaching. We especially enjoyed our lunch from Adam's "Vantry". He totally treats customers like family and we love him for that! Best. Lunch. Ever. Truly, thanks to Fly and Field for giving us an awesome day. I'm "hooked" and can't wait to get back out there. read more

We had a great day on the Crooked River guided by Eli. What a great adventure!Our group had one expert and three beginners (including myself). Eli got us all set up, led us to a great spot and gave beginners great instruction to get us up and running. The site was so beautiful and we all caught fish. I highly recommend Eli and Fly& Field. Everyone there was super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Fly and Field guide Josh Keown has fished and guided the Deschutes his entire life. The big fish cannot escape him! With his easy-to-understand instruction on casting for and landing a whopper trout, I brought in six hard-fighting Redbands in the Lower Deschutes. 10 - 19 inches! Josh is also a great conversationalist and a source on local wildlife, plants and geography. read more

Just returned from an excursion with Joe C and my two young boys. I cannot recommend any higher. It would have been almost perfect if we had not caught anything, but we shot the moon. Everyone caught a fish. For first timers, nothing could be finer. GREAT experience, amazing guide. read more

I purchased a pontoon boat from their website that was listed as new. It arrived in a non factory box with obvious signs of use. Several scuff marks on most of the boat. The seller refused to respond to my concerns. Never again. I frequent Bend for fishing with friends often. Will not go near this company. read more

Wow what an awesome day with our guide Jerry at Crane Prairie reservoir . Got into fish all day and Jerry was an excellent teacher for newbies to fly fishing. Highly recommend booking an all day trip with this guy. So knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Totally worth it and can't wait to do it again. Thanks Jerry! Colleen and Ken read more

Wyatt and Eli were awesome guides. They took our family (two adults and three kids ages 7, 9, and 11) out for a half day wading experience. It was our first time fly fishing and they made the experience relaxed, fun, and educational. And we caught some great trout! Couldn't recommend them more! They had all the gear ready to go. What a blast! I'd definitely recommend a guided trip with Fly and Field and would go again. read more

Fished Crane Prairie Reservoir and Wichiup Reservoirs with Jerry and Glen as our guides. Had a great time, they are both very good at getting you on fish and a lot of fun. Views from Crane Prairie are outstanding. Highly recommend. read more

Fly&Field is my #1 go to fly shop!!! The first "real" fly shop I walked into wanting to really get into it after a few years hacking, I was made to feel pretty stupid when asking questions and not knowing the slang. I almost hung up the fly rod they made me feel so stupid. I recently moved to Bend, went into F&F, and had the dumbest (in hindsight) questions immediately answered and tons of knowledge poured on me. Whether a complicated discussion or the simplest knot they answered all my questions. Griff, Kyle and the rest are my go to guys, they're no prestigious attitudes here! read more

Knew nothing about fly shops in the Bend area and found this one because they had the better website of about five places. Was assisted by Freeland especially in getting an Oregon license and with advice about fishing the Metolius river where we were planning to camp. Advice was given cheerfully and freely without any of the snobby attitude you get in some shops. read more

Great experience every time I go to this shop. The guides are always willing to help you pick the correct flys for the water you will be fishing. Allison helped me today, after discussing where I was going, she helped me pick the correct gear and took the time to tell me about a few spots in the area I wasn't familiar with. read more

Homie at the front desk was able to get me set up with the perfect rod and picked out some great lures all within my budget. I've already caught a few with my new set up. I'll be returning the next time I travel to Bend. read more

Awesome crew and great fishing! From Dave and the shop crew to Griff and the guides, always great service and fun times. Scott the owner I've ran into a couple times and is always friendly and helpful. This shop is a good representation of bend in general...outgoing friendly people who are always willing to talk shop or help out. When you're in bend check these folks out. Been on a couple camp trips with them and have had a blast. Camp is first class and we always were put on great fish. 5 star outfit read more

What a great day with Griff! So much fun and I learned a lot too. I will return for another adventure some day!

Had an amazing time on the Deschutes river with Justin as our guide! He set us up nice and was perfect for our day of fishing. We wanted to laugh and have fun and catch fish and we did all of that! He had us in fish all day and we had a blast. Thanks Justin! - Sam and Amy read more

She took us just to the perfect spot where we could all walk into the river...and immediately started catching trout and white fish!!! Such a great experience, we will be coming back for more and would totally recommend her and this outfit!!! Thank you Allyson!!! read more

We just went on a guided fishing trip with Chris Lundberg of Fly and Field. It was amazing! We caught lots of trout and enjoyed the great Oregon river scenery. As an organization Fly and Field set up a guided trip, provided rental gear, and got everything executed with no issues and ahead of schedule. Our guide, Chris was knowledgeable, personable, and trained 3 novices in short order. Thanks for the great afternoon of nymphing! read more

In the past 10 years of fly fishing, which all started from Day One at Fly and Field Outfitters in Bend, I have been to many fly shops and interacted with a number of guides (both on the river and elsewhere). In that time, I've seen an array of approaches to customer service and overall attitudes towards those newer to fly fishing. Fly and Field is my favorite shop/guide service and I feel lucky to have this store in my home town. Yes, they have all the gear. More importantly, to me, they have a great group of guides and expert advisers in the shop that have helped me at every turn. Patience, professionalism, and experienced advice are the main characteristics that come to mind. From day 1 or 30+ years in fly fishing experience, this shop's staff will meet you with a smile and a super-supportive approach. Sometimes I just drop-in to say hello, even if I do not plan to buy any new stuff. The staff make it fun to stop by to exchange fish stories, learn a few tips in the shop, answer my questions about rigging/techniques, or discover guided trip options. No attitude...just learning and support. I also love the community they have built through the monthly educational (free) sessions. I've met some new fishing friends in that way. Thank you Fly and Field folks! Nice Job! read more

Brought my youngest son here to get him set up with a fly rod plus all the necessaries. The guys at the shop were awesome. They are super knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and even take time to teach us special "tricks of the trade". I would have signed up for a guided trip but they were booked while we are in town. However next time I am definitely booking with them. read more

Just wanted to say that I participated in the annual swap this past weekend and it was really well done and managed.

My first trip with Fly & Field Outfitters was back in 2009 when we did a day float with my then teenage son. We had a great time and caught many beautiful redband rainbows on the Lower Deschutes. Since then, I have had dozens of really fun experiences with the shop's great guides. Each guide has fantastic knowledge of local waters, tactics that work throughout the day, and patience of course. The FFO guides always get me and my guys "on the fish"! We've done drift trips and walk and wade trips alike, and we have always enjoyed the time on the water and hanging out with such positive, fun-loving crew that hold a deep appreciation for the fish, our natural environment, and the art of fly fishing. The food is always great, and the "campfire scene" on overnight trips are magical. This summer I have been working on various techniques (spey casting, stack mending, etc.) and my game has improved with the instruction from Griff, Glenn, and many others. Hats off guys! I can't wait for the next adventure. In the shop, I have received tons of valuable advice on which flies to throw, which rivers are fishing well, and what tactics to use. Dave, Alison, George, and everyone else in the shop are Fishy, and they are enthusiastic about helping me find and net fish. I have fished all around the world, and this is my favorite shop, right here in Bend. Last thing... this outfitter gets the value of community. They hold fun and informative monthly evening seminars, hold fishing clinics, and have tournaments, all of which are designed to bring everyone together. I have made many friends because of FFO, and that is probably the greatest thing for me. read more

Watched these guys bang a native steelhead against the rocks while trying to make a video. Their camera wasn't prepared, so the guy leaves the fly in the fishes mouth and sets it back in the water to get more actions shots. I witnessed from the road and stopped to yell at them, but they did not seem concerned. If you are going to harass wild fish, you shouldn't do in by your boat and car that have your company name on it. Poor form, I have reported you to fish and game. read more

I took my teenage son and his friend (both first-time fly fishers, and me very, very rusty) on a half-day guided trip in late July. Martin was our guide, and he was awesome - personable, patient, and so knowledgeable about the local waters. We fished the Crooked River, and we all got into fish. But that was really just a bonus; it was such a beautiful spot, and a great way to spend the day. read more
