Trips and Dates

Our drift boat trips on the Rogue begin at Alameda boat landing, just two miles outside of Galice and conclude four days later in Agness. The three nights are at picturesque lodges: Black Bar, Marial and Illahe, where the dining and accomodations are excellent. The lodges serve delicious family-style dinners and breakfasts, and prepare lunches for the following day on the river. Also, your morning's catch is prepared with lunch on the river bank each afternoon. The freshly caught and grilled steelhead is a memorable highlight of every trip.

Tackle and Licenses:
You may bring your own tackle but we also provide it on our trips. You'll experience both spin-casting and fly fishing, utilizing the famous Rogue River Twitch. Fishing Licenses are required and may be purchased on the way to the launch site.

Reservations:
Reservations for the trip are required and need to be made well in advance due to the limited number of federal permits allowed for this river. Occasionally, we can accomodate trips made on short notice. Please feel free to contact us no matter what the time of year and we will make every effort to make your trip a reality.

Note: We are limited by federal permit to the number of guests we can guide down the river each year so reservations are required. We recommend that you make your reservations at least 6 months in advance.

Transportation:
Clients need to provide their own transportation to and from the river. Low cost shuttle services are available for this and for transportation to and from the Medford Airport. If you are driving you may choose to have your car brought around to the take-out at Agness by the shuttle service. The service is very reliable and the cost is minimal - aproxmately $65. Please have a full tank of gas when you leave your car with the shuttle driver and it is recommended that you bring an extra set of car keys. Please advise us of your needs in advance and we will help you to make the necessary arrangements. For driving directions click here.

Guides:
All of our guides are experienced anglers and teachers, and have years of experience fishing the Rogue. Their goal is to not only get you down the river, but to also provide you with a personalized and unique experience. On our trips, our guides welcome all ability levels from the most seasoned angler to someone who has never fished before.

Our guides supply all of the tackle necessary. If you wish to bring your own, we suggest a 8 to 9 foot, number 6 rod, medium sink tip or floating line with 9 foot leader tapered to 6lbs.
