Oregon Blast & Cast Trips – Hunt & Fish All Day from the Drift Boat

If you’re looking for the most exciting, fast-paced outdoor experience Oregon has to offer, our mobile Blast & Cast tripsare it. This is not your typical duck hunt in a blind. With Fishin Oregon, you’ll spend the entire day hunting and fishing directly from the drift boat, moving through prime waterfowl habitat and world-class Summer and Winter steelhead runs on the Rogue and Umpqua. No decoys. No blinds. No sitting still.
Just a true all-day river adventure — spotting, shooting, and hooking fish as the opportunities happen.

BLAST & CAST 
​ $275 per person for 2 or more.
$425 for a single. (7 hours on the water)
DOES NOT INCLUDE SHOTGUN OR SHELLS

What Makes Our Blast & Cast Different

Most guide services run a standard morning duck hunt followed by an afternoon of fishing.
Not us.
Our Blast & Cast is a true drift-boat run-and-gun experience, where you:
  • Hunt waterfowl from the boat while floating through the river
  • Fish for winter steelhead between flights
  • Stay on the move all day
  • Cover miles of prime river habitat
  • Target birds naturally instead of over decoys
This style keeps the action constant and makes the most of every stretch of water.

How Your Blast & Cast Day Works

You’ll meet before first light and launch onto the river in one of our fully outfitted drift boats. Throughout the day, you will:
Hunt Ducks from the Drift Boat
We target birds as they move naturally along the river corridor. You’ll shoot from stable drift boat positions while the guide handles boat control.
Expect:
  • Wild mallards
  • Wigeon
  • Canada Goose
  • Occasional divers
  • Fast, exciting shot opportunities
  • A constantly changing environment
This is hands-on, high-action waterfowling — not stationary blind hunting.
Fish for Winter Steelhead Between Flights
​When the bird activity pauses or when we hit prime steelhead water, we switch gears:
  • Side-drifting
  • Bobber-dogging
  • Plugs (when appropriate)
  • Spinners
You’ll be fishing some of the top winter steelhead rivers in the Pacific Northwest — and you’ll cover more water than a standard fishing trip.
