Southern Oregon Fishing Guide Salmon, Steelhead & Stripers
Guided trips on the Umpqua River, Winchester Bay and the best water in Southwest Oregon, led by Logan DeGree.
Your guide
A tournament angler who guides every species that swims here
Logan DeGree grew up fishing Central Oregon from the age of 3, fished bass tournaments through high school and college, and now guides full time across Southwest Oregon.
That tournament background shows on the water. Logan reads conditions fast, changes techniques until the fish respond, and puts the same effort into a family’s first salmon as a seasoned angler’s trophy steelhead. He runs a new 24-foot Willie Boats Raptor for the bay and estuary and a heated 16-foot Koffler drift boat for the rivers.
- Salmon, steelhead, stripers, crab, redband, smallmouth and shad
- G.Loomis and Talon rods with Shimano reels
- Your catch cleaned and bagged at the end of the day
