Oregon native and Rogue Canyon Outfitter owner Todd Weck continues the tradition of providing guests with an experience that they will never forget! Rogue Canyon Outfitters was founded nearly 60 years ago by Hall of Fame Fisherman Kenny King, and holds one of the oldest operating permits on the river. Over the years, Rogue Canyon Outfitters has led over 10,000 customers to hot steelhead waters and safely through the rapids in-between. This 50 mile boat trip traverses a scenic and secluded stretch of the Rogue
River. This particular stretch was designated as a "Wild and Scenic River" by
Congress in 1968, and therefore has only hiking trails and limited road access
near the beginning and end of the trip.

Oregon Fishing Opportunities with Rogue Canyon Outfitters
This 4 day - 3 night 50 mile float traverses the "wild and scenic" stretch of the famous Rogue River. This particular stretch was designated as a"Wild and Scenic River" by congress in 1968. As a result, river access is limited and we are one of the few permitted outfitters lucky enough to give you this magnificent experience. You will experience this fishing trip from a Mckenzie River drift boat piloted by expert boatmen.
Our trips will accommodate 10-12 of your family and friends, however we generally are able to accommodate smaller groups if needed. Read more...

Offering greatly varied fishing waters, the McKenzie River is home to some of the nicest fisheries one could imagine for rainbows, cutthroats and steelhead. With such diverse waters, there is rarely a month of the year where the McKenzie River is not fishable. During the early spring one can find the lower McKenzie active with rainbow and cutthroat trout. The well known March Brown Hatch usually sets off the spring fishing calendar. Beginning in the lower River, this hatch brings out a great opportunity for trout fishing for all abilities. In May you will find the Valley warming and the McKenzie fishery will lengthen all the way up River. While trout fishing picks up in early spring, The McKenzie Steelhead usually start turning up as early as April. Equipped with these majestic fish through November, The McKenzie River provides a lengthy and great Steelhead fishery. What people say about Rogue Canyon Outfitters
