To book your next adventure Call Dean @ (541) 731-9649 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 December 18th , 2011 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. The very best Winter Steelhead fly fishing is going on NOW!
"Kade" the lab puppy, "K8" and "Crumpster" with a VERY rare hatchery fish. This fish not only had an adipose clip, but also sported a pectoral fin clip as well. It was likely a stray from some unknown California river since Oregon hasn't pectoral clipped any fish for years.
K8's chromer!
Winter steelhead will be the focus of my fishing efforts through next April. I currently have openings in the coming days as well as later in the month and into January, February and March. The dates won't last so get ahold of me soon if you want to get in on the action. We're still waiting for some weather to bring in some fresh birds for our duck and goose hunts. We have ton's of Cacklers in the valley. Some larger geese are available on the river, but the ducks have not had any water here in the valley because of the unusually dry weather. When the rain's finally arrive, the duck hunting in the valley will take off.
