The North Umpqua River Pacific Northwest
Arguably the finest dry fly steelhead stream in the Pacific Northwest, the North Umpqua represents the ultimate combination of challenge, scenic beauty and reward. A wonderfully infectious river: glossy green tailouts, lichen covered cliffs, towering Douglas firs and a super-race of summer steelhead that rise to skated dries. Many consider the North Umpqua the graduate school of steelhead streams. More like a temptress, really, with beauty and mystique apparent to all, yet secrets understood by only a dedicated few. Appreciation for this river slips into your soul, and seduces you into becoming a better angler. Under the skilled supervision of guides like Tony Wratney and Scott Howell, anglers will enjoy a fast track to success on the river. With elegant meals and accommodations at the historic Steamboat Inn, or more simple accommodations downstream, we can help you plan trips of any length to this remarkable system. North Umpqua Accommodations: Steamboat Inn is located 38 scenic miles east of Roseburg, Oregon on Highway 138. It commands a breathtaking view of the North Umpqua River. Nestled among the towering firs of the Umpqua National Forest, the Inn is about two hours by car from airports at Eugene and Medford. The Inn is a perfect lodging base for the numerous nearby attractions, such as Crater Lake National Park, Diamond Lake, excellent wineries and a wildlife safari park. Fishing at its most challenging, trails for hikers, and swimming are all within minutes of Steamboat Inn. The Inn is open daily late spring through fall and in the winter on weekends (closed January & February). The cafe offers a menu featuring homemade soups, pies, breads and other delicious treats available for breakfast and lunch. Steamboat Inn is an excellent facility for meetings, retreats and seminars. The Inn is small enough to allow such groups the exclusive use of the entire facility during the winter months.
