    Come take a float down one of Oregons beautiful remote rivers in search of winter steelhead. We will be fishing out of my 17’ Willie drift Boat, or my 13’ Aire white water raft. This is a very hands on fishery, you will have the rod in your hand all day. I start targeting these fish starting the first week of December, and will continue through march.
