Here’s your chance for some next-level steelheading. March 26-30 2017.

The annual G&G Deschutes River Steelhead Camp has quickly become one of our most popular events, and it’s no wonder. Not only is the trip a blast but it has helped a lot of anglers really up they’re steelhead game and spey casting skills. Now I’m excited to announce a new steelhead trip for anglers looking to experience the next level, winter steelhead.

We will be fishing the Clackamas River near Portland.

Thanks to conservation efforts, recent Clackamas steelhead runs have been some of the best in memory, with wild steelhead returning in good numbers. We have booked a prime week! Winter fish are big, strong, and a challenge for the angler. Along with the challenge comes the reward of landing one of the most special fish on the planet. If that sounds like fun, and you’re up for a challenge, I’d love for you to join us.

The trip is arranged and guided by Fish The Swing, and I will be hosting. We will stay at the new Fish The Swing Clackamas River Lodge, right on the river with private bedrooms and a chef preparing meals. We will fish hard and enjoy some great company. There are only 4 spots for this trip, so let me know ASAP if you are interested, or would like more details, at hookups@ginkandgasoline.com.

Guests will arrive Sunday, March 26th between 5pm and 6pm, and settle in for dinner at 7pm. Breakfast will be at first light, then we will walk out front of the house and get into the boats to go fish for the day. Hot lunch will be served on the river unless the weather is bad, in which case we will head back to the lodge for lunch. Dinner at 7pm, and repeat again each day. On the last day (Thursday) everyone will need to have their bags packed before leaving for fishing. You will fish all day then return to the lodge to depart for home/airport.

Rate: 4 nights/4 days is $2750

I look forward to swinging some flies with you!
