In addition, the John Day River is located within 30 miles of the ranch. The John Day is the longest free-flowing river in Oregon, and the second longest free-flowing river in the continental U.S. It boasts the healthiest population of wild summer steelhead in the Northwest, and a significant population of wild spring Chinook. In spite of the good steelheading, smallmouth bass have become the John Day’s most popular attraction since their introduction in 1971.
Summer bass fishing is the main draw to the John Day from April through September. From Kimberly to the mouth, rafters can choose a variety of float trips. Fly fishing is the most popular method, although casting small lures with light spinning gear is also very effective.
John Day summer steelhead arrive in the fall and winter starting in mid-September through February. In addition, thousands of native steelhead move into the 200-mile long watershed and spawn from March through May. They are joined by hatchery steelhead that stray into the John Day from other Columbia River tributaries.
