Water Facility Features

• A testimonial from a local fishing guide: “I recently had the opportunity to fish a very special piece of the Deschutes River. You might ask why a guy with 30 years as a guide would have just discovered a “new” section of the river? I was invited to go test the waters at “White Rock Ranch” and make sure the fishing was up to par. It was. In fact, it was excellent! Seldom in this day and age can we go to a river and have it all to ourselves, but that is what we got on this incredible piece of property. Imagine a river to enjoy all to yourself. The river runs through a classic basalt canyon, but was easy to access from the house with just a short drive down to the water. The river is classic freestone, with the setup going from the riffle to the run to the pool and back to the next series of riffle, run, pool. It is perfect trout habitat. The evening we fished, we focused on dry fly fishing. The trout were sitting in the riffles and the edges of the runs and eagerly took our Pale Evening Dun dry flies as they floated by. We caught many native redband trout and an occasional brown trout. As I explored the property I knew I wanted to return to fish it again. The way the river set up it is also perfect for nymph and streamer fishing. I can’t wait to go back.” (Jeff Perin, Owner, the Fly Fisher's Place, Sisters OR, www.flyfishersplace.com)
