August on the Middle Fork of the Salmon
August is one of our favorite months on the Middle Fork for so many reasons. August is a perfect time for families. The water levels are a lot lower than in June and there are a lot more opportunities for swimming. The temperatures are lovely in and out of the water. Warm days and cool nights provide guests the optimal wilderness experience. August is the best time for fishing on the Middle Fork. Because of clear water, no upstream dams, and stringent catch and release policies,...
Bluegrass on the Rogue 2014
One of our favorite trips of the year has always been the Bluegrass on the Rogue trip with Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum.

The thought of disbanding this trip was not something we even considered. Our sister company, Northwest Rafting Company, is keeping the tradition. We've scheduled this year's Bluegrass on the Rogue from July 15th - July 19th. The Bluegrass trip with...
