On day one, you'll be riding the rapids of the upper
Clackamas River, renown for its clear mountain water and
beautiful alpine scenery. Led by friendly, professional
guides, this is an ideal trip for first-timers and veteran
rafters alike.

Kick back and relax while tasting a variety of handcrafted
ales from McMenamins microbrewery. Sample favorites such as
Terminator Stout, Hammerhead and Ruby Ale.
The
Casting
Day two begins with fly fishing lessons and information on
casting, knot-tying and gear. Practice your techniques in
the morning and, once you have the knack, you and your
expert fly fishing guide will head to the river bank to test
your skills. We practice catch and release techniques, so
bring your camera along to prove you caught one.
