Deschutes River Boater's Guide- $15.99

The boater's guide is a must-have item for anyone that floats the Lower Deschutes. It contains a detailed map of all the named campsites, significant white water and mileage. Beyond that, it's just a great read. The Lower D has a long and interesting history, and the guide offers a great cursory view of its notable events. Perfect for reading with a headlamp during a beautiful night on the river! 

Mid-Priced

Grundens Deviation Ankle Boot- $139.99

These boots are my standard footwear from about the middle of October until it quits raining in the spring. They're waterproof, comfortable and the bottom provides plenty of grip on wet and icey terrain. This is the ideal boot to slip on after fishing or for a snowy run to the grocery store. 

Top of the Line

Bauer RX Series Reels- $545-$925

RX reels absolutely set the bar for smoothness. They are beautifully machined and have a minutely adjustable drag. Available in trout sizes on up to saltwater big game, the RX is one of the finest reels out there today. Not to mention, the green color option pairs perfectly with a Winston rod!

Join Harris Anglers for Deschutes Summer Steelhead

On a normal year you'd have a hard time finding a Deschutes trout and steelhead guide with open dates. This year is everything but normal.

We chatted with Todd Harris of Harris Anglers the other day. He has many open dates. Several day trip dates as well as some camp trip options for September and October.

A couple days on the river will go a long ways to bring some joy in your life and this is the guy that will help you find that joy.
