Northeast Oregon Rivers
Troy Oregon Outfitters offers guiding on a three exceptional rivers: the Grande Ronde, the Wenaha, and the Wallowa. These rivers have their own unique flows and terrain, and each of them inspires us.
The Grande Ronde RIver
The Grande Ronde flows for more than 200 miles, beginning in La Grande, Oregon and winding northeast toward the Snake River through rugged canyons carved into ancient basalt lava flows. Redband rainbow trout, trophy steelhead, bull trout, salmon, and smallmouth bass draw anglers to this river from around the northwest to put their fishing skills to the test. The Grande Ronde’s diverse flora and fauna, dramatic seclusion, and top-notch fishing make this river tough to leave once your line hits the water.
The Wenaha River
The Wenaha River begins in the Blue Mountains and flows east for 21 miles through the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, and flows it’s way into the Grande Ronde at the town of Troy. This river is designated as a Wild and Scenic River for its entire length, and for good reason - it has has almost no road access and very people. Native redband rainbow trout are plentiful, and a thriving population of the federally protected bull trout make the Wenaha River one of a few in Oregon where catch-and-release bull trout fishing is allowed. We offer guiding on this river via a unique hike in and pack-raft out experience.
The Wallowa River
The Wallowa River flows over 50 miles from Wallowa Lake into the Grande Ronde at the town of Minam, Oregon. Some claim the Wallowa is the best rainbow trout fishery in Eastern Oregon, and also boasts a substantial winter steelhead run. We offer day floats on this river in June, taking advantage of the stonefly hatch for outstanding dry fly casting.
