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.

From the start, Nate was upfront about river safety, setting a clear expectation that all party members listen and work cooperatively to minimize risks. I deeply appreciated this transparency; the guidelines were minimal, easy to follow, and kept everyone secure without taking away from the experience. Every minute of the trip was centered on our enjoyment. The itinerary was excellent--we stopped often at unique, beautiful spots to stretch our legs, swim, relax on beaches, fish, and take short hikes. Camp was highly comfortable, and the meals were an absolute highlight. The crew treated us to exceptional food and drink, including cocktails, appetizers, restaurant-quality entrees, and even desserts. Highly recommend Nate and his crew for an unforgettable adventure.
