Fly-Fishing
North Umpqua River, Oregon
View Original Description
The combination of large summer-run steelhead, easy access to the river, and majestic scenery makes this area a world-renowned fishing spot. Since 1952, a 33-mile section above Deadline Falls has been reserved exclusively for fly-fishing. Many consider this river one of the most beautiful and most difficult places in the world to catch these incredible fish. The average North Umpqua steelhead weighs eight pounds, with an occasional fifteen pounder and all fish are meant to be released.
Opportunities for bait-fishing abound below the falls. Between May and October, the patient visitor may observe migrating salmon or steelhead jumping at Deadline Falls.
