Fin & Fire

Part fly shop, part guide service, this Redmond storefront on Highway 97 stocks one of Central Oregon's largest selections of fly fishing and hunting gear, with local beer on tap while you browse. The guide program floats the Lower Deschutes for native Redside rainbows and fall steelhead, wades the Crooked River on half-day trips, and runs three- to four-day camp-and-float expeditions. Beginners can start with a two-hour Fly Fishing 101 at Cline Falls or a five-hour Trout School on the Crooked, and free fly-tying workshops fill winter Sundays. Waders, boots, rods, and flies are included on every guided trip.
