SANDY RIVER
OREGON
WINTER | SPRING STEELHEAD
The Sandy River is the premier winter steelhead fishery in northern Oregon. If you like to swing flies for winter steelhead you will not find a better place to do so in the Pacific Northwest. Guided trips on the Sandy are for winter and spring steelhead. We utilize spey rods and a fully framed Maravia whitewater raft to find these fantastic fish!
JANUARY – MARCH
WINTER STEELHEAD
The Sandy River starts its journey to the Pacific in the Mt. Hood National Forest and runs 56 miles before it empties into the Columbia River east of Portland near the Columbia River Gorge. Marmot Dam impeded wild fish passage from 1912 until 2006 when the dam was removed. Today the waters of the Sandy River travel freely from the mountain to the sea.
Steelhead Outfitters provides guided fly-fishing trips on the lower 20 miles of the Sandy. We float from Dodge Park to Oxbow or Dabney Park. The float from Dodge Park to Oxbow has several classed rapids as well as breathtaking scenery. You will not find a more scenic and beautiful river this close to 2.2 million people.
JANUARY – MARCH

The Sandy River is fishable most days during the winter but a flexible schedule is needed for booking trips in advance.
