Testimonials

  • Great place, Great guys, they're very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to earn your business! 

    - Rich Blakley

  • Best fly shop in Bend and in fact best shop in Eastern and Central Oregon. Love these guys. I am fairly new to fly fishing and tying (almost two years at both) and these gentlemen are always willing to answer all my questions and help in anyway. I love to visit when I come over from Burns. You guys rock and thank you for helping this fly girl out. Thanks Bob and all the guys.

  • My wife and I visited Bend in early August for a few days of fly fishing. We enjoyed catching our fair share of trout on the Deschutes, the Metolius and the Crooked. A key to our success was the great professional and personal support we received from Peter and eveyone on the staff. The Patient Angler team gave us a detailed briefing of the fishing conditions in each river, the best flies and techniques to use and the best times to fish. We also purchased two superb pairs of wading boots to replace ours, which were badly worn and in a state of disrepair. If you are a fly fisher in Bend, the Patient Angler is a must.

  • Very helpful will answer any of your questions no matter how silly. I'm not from the area and was looking for some direction and advice and I did not leave disappointed. I will visit this fly shop every time I return to bend from now on.
