To book your next adventure Call Dean @ (541) 942-3051 Welcome We offer year round fishing opportunities on the World Famous "Fly water section" of the North Umpqua River for Steelhead on the fly. The "Town Run"- Eugene and Springfields ultimate urban steelhead fly fishing experience. McKenzie Trout, Umpqua Smallmouth Bass and Shad as well as many Southern Oregon coastal streams and estuarys for opportunities to catch Salmon on the fly. We offer you the option of choosing walk-in trips, or a boat trip from either a 16' Willie guide model McKenzie style driftboat or a powerboat trip from a 16' jet-sled.
Dean has been a fly fishing instructor for more than 20 years and has taught fly-casting and presentation to both professional and beginning anglers. We specialize in catch and release on most of our Steelhead, Trout and Smallmouth Bass trips. We recognize that many people enjoy catching fish for the table, but also understand that if our fishing resources are to last into the future, then now is the time to embrace conservation efforts for all the species we fish for. We recommend that our clients bring video camera's or digital cameras on their adventures to capture some of the scenes of the day. It is not uncommon for us to see Bald Eagles, Osprey, Seal/Sea Lion, Grey Whales, ducks, geese, deer, elk, bear and numerous other species of wildlife while on most of the rivers and bays that we fish. Dean can also make arrangements to have your trophy mounted by some of the top taxidermists around or have your fish "air shipped" anywhere in the world. Our Goal at Dean Finnerty Guides and Outfitters is to give you the best guided fishing trip in the state of Oregon, one that you will cherish the memories of, for years to come. Recent Testimonial
"Hey Dean, just wanted to say thanks again for the time we spent on the N. Umpqua! I had a blast, it was awesome to raise fish on the dry, and your two handed instruction was like gold! I am totally rejuvenated on the North once again thanks to you!!! Having done a little guiding myself, I can say you have it down and are one of the best I've ever been with! Can't wait to do it again! -Brad"

What's Hot April 3rd, 2012 I've also started a new Facebook account as well as a new blog. Check it out at http://deanfinnerty.blogspot.com It will feature friends, family and clients and our adventures on the water and in the field. I'll post tips and tons of pics. I hope you'll visit often and let me know what you like and don't like. North Umpqua Winter Steelhead, Mainstem Umpqua Spring Chinook, McKenzie Native Rainbows and Spring Bear...with Turkey starting next week!

It's that time of year again when there is too much going on. Head off in any direction to find some of the best hunting and fishing offered anywhere! We have over 10,000 winter steelhead now in the North Umpqua. That fishery will last through the end of the month. Spring Chinook are in the lower river in fishable numbers and each day from now through June will only bring more. Trout fishing on the McKenzie has been great when water flows have been favorable. There are over 500 summer fish over the falls at Oregon City already and my then end of the month, there will likely be closer to 10,000. Spring bears are out and active now and many are already making themselves a nuisance to property owners in the areas I offer hunts. This weekend the juvenile Turkey season starts and the next week we adults get to find a spring gobbler. Now that winter is over, I guess I'll have to make due with a few hours a sleep a day again until next fall! No other way I'd rather have it! Dean (541) 942-3051
