Oregon Hunting & Fishing

Oregon offers one of the widest ranges of hunting and fishing terrain in the country, from the rainforest-draped Coast Range to the high desert of the east. Hunting guides in Oregon pursue Roosevelt elk in the wet western forests and Rocky Mountain elk in the drier east, blacktail and mule deer, black bear, and pronghorn on the desert flats. The state's controlled-hunt draw system manages a tremendous diversity of opportunity.

Fishing charters in Oregon are legendary. The Pacific coast produces salmon, halibut, and bottomfish, while the Columbia River and its tributaries host enormous runs of salmon and steelhead and a trophy white sturgeon fishery. Inland, the Deschutes and other rivers offer wild redband trout and steelhead. Whether trolling the ocean or swinging flies on a desert river, Oregon rewards anglers and hunters who explore its variety.
