Where to Fly Fish Near Mt Hood Oregon

Tammy inquired:

I’d like to spend our last day in Oregon fly fishing, possibly near Hood River. Any suggestions?

Hood River County reaches from the summit of Mt Hood, our tallest peak at 11,240′ and feeds into our biggest river, the mighty Columbia. Its many great fishing destinations vary from high-mountain lakes to mighty rivers.

Planning a Family Reunion in 2026

Virginia inquired:

“We are wanting to do a family reunion in and expect around 15 to 20 people”

Most B&Bs in Oregon are too small to accommodate large gatherings. Another B&B policy one might consider is whether children are allowed. Visit our blog for some suggestions
