Derick was awesome! Brought my young son in to get an old rod rigged up for a first time trip. We were giving 5 star treatment, an experience to remember!

Best Customer Service Ever! It was actually back in the Fall of 2016. I had just purchased a G. Loomis 6wt switch rod from a friend. I wanted to get a reel for it after a long day on the water. My wife and I rushed up to Deschutes Angler, and we got there right at closing.The Hazels invited us in. I picked a new Bauer for my rod and needed a line for it. John asked if I had the rod with me to make sure the rod, reel and line all matched weight-wise. I did not have it in the truck outside. It was doen in our trailer at the river. John said, "go ahead and get it. We'll wait for you." Mind you, it was now well after closing.We drove down, got the rod and brought it back. John put it together with the reel. John weighed to lines on a scale for their actual (not box-printed) weights. He chose one that he thought would match the rod most effectively!Years later, this experience still stands out as likely the best retail experience I've had anywhere. And yes, the line and rod cast perfectly! Thank you! (Pic is of the first fish I caught with it at disk on the lower Deschutes!)

Derrick (sp?) and Amy are a fantastic team at this shop. They really help me decide when to drive the 2 hours for my 1/2 day bombing raids on The Deschutes to grab some quality time. Derrick set me up with a fantastic Echo Eurpoean nymphing rod yesterday and both he and Amy were so incredibly helpful with advice on how to learn this nymphing technique . I really can’t thank them enough.

I'm not sure how to spell his name correctly, but Derick from this shop is awesome! He had great recommendations for flies, his advice for how to fish and break down the river was spot on, and he's funny to top it off! If youve never been to the Deschutes or even have trouble fishing big water, you definitely need to go in and talk to him.- Jared Son of Richard

I lost a sole on my wading boot fishing the Deschutes. The owner had me up and running with new Korkers in a matter of minutes with new fly suggestions and fly presentation options. Excellent service all around.

I'm not from the area, so I always try to support the local shops. This shop is amazing. They've got anything you could need and the staff are great people. Will definitely continue to support this shop as much as I can. Much deserved.

I was recommended a fly and was given 3 free samples. The first one I tried bent in the lower jaw of the first trout I caught. It was only 20” I think it should of lasted more than one fish. True story. Awesome fly shop use what they give you ?

Always my first stop when heading to fish the Deschutes. Their selection of flys and gear is second to none. The river knowledge and suggestion one gains from talking with Amy,John and the staff is priceless.

Very nice! Fully stocked fly shop. Excellent service and advice. Caught 3 trout in a couple of hours in the dead heat of an August day. Tried a few different flies but all 3 fish were caught on the fly Amy recommended. Thanks Amy!

Colin and Ben provided the absolute best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Myself and two friends did a float on the river and we are all relatively new to fly fishing. Colin and Ben helped me get my rod set up, provided excellent recommendations on flys to use and where to fish. It is 2 hours from my home and I will likely drive there for further fly fishing kit. Spent almost 2 hours in the store and felt like I was working with friends. Amazing, thank you Colin and Ben for making it an amazing experience and awesome trip.

Had the BEST time fly fishing with Deschutes Anglers. Amy is so knowledgeable and personable. I booked this trip as a gift to my husband, but the reel (pun intended) gift is that Amy taught me to fish. Such a great way to spend the day and Maupin is adorable too. 10/10 recommend.

Amy and the team are fantastic! My first outing on the Deschutes River in May of 2022 was made much better by the information and the flies I got at the Deschutes Angler Fly Shop. Great experience!

I’m pretty new to the sport 1 year in and I was having trouble getting anything to bite only surfacing trout and nudging. I talked to Bruce about what flies I was using and he suggested a handful of flies and advice on what time to fish and I ended up catching around 13 trout in the span of 2 hours with the fly he suggested along with some huge ones hooked but set to soon due to excitement . Big shout out thanks man.

One of my all time favorite fly shops. Learned how to fly fish right now in Maupin and the staff here were instrumental in helping me from day one. In my opinion you're making a mistake if you fish the Deschutes without stopping here first
