Jeff Brazda and the crew of Brazda’s Fly Fishing are the most experienced guides in the area, and in the fall and winter months, they literally live and breathe steelhead. This operation continuously guides anglers into some of the largest searun rainbows in the lower-48, and over the years they’ve built an incredibly diverse and productive program. The winter run steelhead on the Olympic Peninsula have a history of strong returns on rivers that include the Sol-Duc, Hoh, Bogachiel, Queets and Calawah. Brazda’s also guides anglers on Columbia River tributaries that include the Methow, Klickatat and Wenatchee Rivers during the late summer and early fall. The state of Washington is fortunate to have a strong run of steelhead, and when fishing with Brazda’s crew, any day on the “OP” could easily be the best steelhead day of your life.

With prolific hatches and an incredible population of resident rainbow and brook trout, the Williamson River is one of the few places where a 30’ trout on a small dry fly is always a possibility. The Yamsi Ranch is located on the headwaters of the Williamson River in southwestern Oregon, with twelve miles of river and five out of the six major springs feeding the river all located on ranch property. The ranch also has 300-acre Hyde Lake on property, a piece of water that is loaded with rainbows and brook trout. Imagine having “The Ranch” on the Henry’s Fork all to yourself - that is the Yamsi Ranch scenario on the upper Williamson. This is a very private and secluded fishing and vacation experience that is the ideal destination for families, couples and groups interested in taking over the entire property.
