Read More About Our Shop

Hood River sits in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, surrounded by steelhead, salmon, trout, smallmouth bass, and warmwater fisheries. The Deschutes River is less than an hour away and remains one of the great fly fishing rivers of the Pacific Northwest, known for summer steelhead and wild redband rainbow trout.

While the Gorge is home, our fishing interests reach far beyond Oregon. We help anglers prepare for Puget Sound sea-run cutthroat and coho, tropical flats fishing for bonefish, permit, tarpon, and roosterfish, and bluewater setups for tuna and dorado. If you are planning a trip, we can help with rods, reels, lines, leaders, flies, luggage, and the small details that matter once you are on the water.

Our online store features a deep selection of fly fishing gear from leading manufacturers, backed by a team that understands how the pieces fit together. From rods and reels to lines, leaders, flies, waders, packs, boats, and accessories, we focus on gear that performs in real fishing conditions.

Visit our storefront in Hood River for in-person help, free parking, a casting green, and big Columbia Gorge views. Whether you are fishing close to home or planning your next destination trip, Gorge Fly Shop is here to help you get the right gear and use it well.
