Float down in the world famous McKenzie river and fish from an
original wooden McKenzie Drift Boat. This boat will get you to
fishing holes where most boats will not.
Bert's Guide Service offers half day, full day and evening trips to combine top-notch (fly-) fishing with great scenery January through December. Fishing for rainbow-, red side, cutthroat, steelhead and mountain whitefish is easy enough for the beginner, yet challenging enough for the seasoned veteran. Boys and girls, men and women of all ages are joining the ranks of fly fishermen. No matter what your skill level is, fly fishing for trout can be highly rewarding. These beautiful fish have an abundant food source due to the salmon runs in spring and autumn, with big summertime hatches of river insects, they are excellent fighting fish and have gorgeous coloring. Your guides knowledge of casting and entomology tributes to your ability to catch more fish while their knowledge of the river will make your trip a great fishing experience.
Groups can be accommodated in several boats, meeting up for lunch, including a gourmet lunch along the river. The group lunch gives you the opportunity to relax and exchange fish stories of the mornings catch.
We have anglers from all over the world, returning to the McKenzie every year. The changing scenery, wildlife, fishing, and friendly skilled guides will make your trip on the McKenzie a day to remember.
