Fishing in Bend, Oregon

Bend, Oregon is a dream destination for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re fly fishing the world-renowned Deschutes River or drifting the peaceful currents of the Metolius, you’ll be surrounded by the kind of scenery that makes every cast memorable. The region is especially known for its Redside Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout, and native Whitefish, and if you time it right, you may even hit the famous salmonfly hatch.

With easy access to dozens of fishing spots, including Crane Prairie Reservoir, East Lake, and Fall River, it’s no wonder Bend is considered one of the best year-round fishing destinations in the Pacific Northwest.
