2025 Trout Opener Celebration Event!

Every year in anticipation of the official opening of trout season on the Lower Deschutes River, Confluence Fly Shop and Deep Canyon Outfitters pick a Saturday in April to thank our customers, build camaraderie within our local fishing community, and celebrate the approach of another fantastic fishing season. This year’s experience will be loaded with great in-store promotions, informative clinics, and a great dinner+movie+raffle event in the evening for ticket-holders (tickets can be purchased at the bottom of this page).
