Information & Products
Freshwater Fishing
The Patient Angler takes pride in providing honest, first hand fly fishing information on all local waters. We have free maps on local rivers and lakes showing fishing access, boat launches and campgrounds. After suggesting where to go, we can help you with fly selections for the area as well as useful tactics that will make your outing more productive.
Because The Patient Angler has a strong customer base of local anglers, local guides and because of the fact that all the employees spend most of their days off fishing, we usually have our finger on the pulse of what's hot and what's not. Give us a call, we would love to fill you in on the latest hatch or the hottest new fly pattern.
Saltwater Fishing
One of our strongest areas of expertise is in saltwater fly fishing. Not what you might expect from a fly shop located in Central Oregon, but we have over 25 years experience fishing in beautiful locations around the world, chasing a broad spectrum of saltwater game fish. We have recommendations for guides and lodging for many locations that we have explored.
The Patient Angler also stocks a large selection of books, videos and DVD'S covering all aspects of fly fishing for fresh and saltwater fish.
Products
Gear
The Patient Angler stocks quality fly-fishing gear and apparel from the top manufactures. We chose to sell and support the products that perform well on the water and are the best value to our customers. In other words... if we sell it - we use it! The shop staff field-tests every thing we sell. In doing this, we gain first hand knowledge of its performance and how it compares to similar products in the industry. Our experience and product knowledge will help you when making important decisions about purchasing fly gear & apparel.
Product lines include Sage, Winston, SIMMS, Cortland, Patagonia, Tibor, Galvan, Lamson, Ross, Scientific Angler, Mastery, Rio, Outcast, ECHO, Redington, Fishpond, Maui Jim and Action Optics. If there’s something you need that we don’t have in stock, we would be happy to order it for you.

A few good reports have come in for steelhead on the Hood River, as well as the Sandy River near Portland.
The Crooked River has been fishing very well with BWO's and small Beatis nymphs.
The Fall River has also been very good fishing with BWO's and Midge Patterns. Remember to fish above the Fall River Falls.
