Choices, Choices
Sisters is in the heart of some of the best fishing in North America. Here’s a brief list of some of the best of the best:
Deschutes River – This world-famous river is close by, offering incredible trout and steelhead fishing in a unique setting. The Deschutes is long and varied with many opportunities and some dangerous water. If you’re planning a fishing trip, it’s best to go with an expert first.
Metolius River – This river, which flows cool, gin-clear and constant year-round, offers some of the toughest yet most rewarding fishing anywhere. The Metolius is spring fed and the trout tend to be very specific in what they choose to eat. Precision and stealth are the name of the game here.
Crooked River – The Crooked River is one of the most productive trout streams in Oregon, offering excellent numbers of redband rainbow trout. To find less competition try the Crooked River Gorge. The Gorge offers tougher access and good fishing.
Upper McKenzie and Upper North Fork of the Santiam – These west slope fisheries are also very close to the Sisters area. Too treacherous for boating, they offer unique walk-and-wade opportunities for adventurous anglers.
High Mountain Lakes – The options here are too many to mention. While many have good road access, others are hike-in and are lightly fished. Do your research ahead of time and have a trip you’ll remember forever.
