The mighty Rogue River flows 215 miles from its headwaters in Crater Lake National Park to the Pacific Ocean in Gold Beach.

In 1968, an 84-mile stretch of the Rogue River was designated as a National Wild & Scenic River by the US Congress, which means that it is protected from development and other forms of disturbance that could degrade its natural and scenic qualities. This designation recognizes the river's exceptional values, including its outstanding scenery, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities.

Our trips take you through 43 miles of the Wild & Scenic section of the river, stopping at 3 comfortable riverside wilderness lodges along the way. All trips include 3 hearty meals and all of the gear and instruction you need to catch those pesky half pounders!

“I fished with the Drift crew on the Rogue in September ‘24 and it was the trip of a lifetime. I’ve fished all over the world and none of those trips rivaled my Rogue experience. Tim and his crew were fantastic, getting us into great fishing, amazing scenery, wonderful food and a lot of fun. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve booked another trip for three friends and myself next September.”
