The Story

Go fly-fishing in Oregon with Orvis-endorsed guide Brandon Bischof. The John Day is regarded as one of the top smallmouth bass fisheries in the western United States. The state record of six lbs. was taken from this area. The average fish spans 8 to 12 inches, with fish up to 23 inches present. The abundance of fish and their willingness to attack surface flies are what make the John Day such a productive river to fish. During the peak fishing months of June through August, it is not uncommon to have a 100 fish day per rod. The scenery and the fishing are spectacular and clients say that the trip was beyond their expectations. The John Day is a unique fishery in that it supports a huge population of bass, but when the river cools down in the fall, it supports the largest run of all wild steelhead left in the mid Columbia Basin. All of these amazing fishing opportunities exist in one of the most wild and scenic river canyons in the lower 48 states. Bischof's Flyfishing knows this river well and can put you on the most productive floats, depending on the time of year, river levels, and species. We are one of the longest running fly-fishing guide services on the John Day River.
