Kaufmann Deschutes River Schools 

Our two- and three-day fly fishing courses offer first class instruction, food, riverside accommodations, and real fishing time at $225 per day. Join us on Oregon's famous Deschutes River for an intensive yet easy-going on-the-water learning experience. We work with each angler at whatever level they may be and at the pace they learn. The maximum student instructor ratio is three or four to one, with four students at the most. We cover casting, tackle, knots, leaders, presentation, line control, reading water, entomology and fish behavior. Plan on long days, lots of actual fishing time, evening barbeques overlooking the river. Class begins at 4:00 p.m. the first day and ends at 11:00 a.m. the last day. Schools are located at our Deschutes River House, several miles downstream from Warm Springs, on a private access road.

Price includes: All meals, lodging and instruction. Not included: Tackle, fishing license, gratuity and transportation to and during schools. A 50% deposit is required upon booking.
