Fish the Swing

Owner Jeff Hickman built this swing-only guide service around the Deschutes, Clackamas, and coastal rivers that rank among the planet's best steelhead water. Using a jet boat, drift boat, or raft to reach prime runs, the crew puts you into picturesque roadless canyons where wading anglers swing flies for summer and winter fish. Loaner Spey setups, custom flies, and a laid-back teaching style mean first-timers and veterans alike sharpen their skills in a day. Camp trips add chef-prepared meals riverside. Expect a no-nonsense day that feels less like a charter and more like fishing with old friends.
