If fishing is your passion, you've come to the right place. The Deschutes River flows right through downtown Bend, and good trout waters can be found both upstream and downstream from town. The lakes of the Cascade Lakes Highway west of Bend are, however, the most popular fishing destinations in the area. Of these, Hosmer Lake (a catch-and-release fly-fishing-only lake), and Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs, which are known for their trophy trout, are among the most fabled area fishing spots. If you're not familiar with these rivers and lakes, you may want to hire a guide to show you where to hook a big one. Try contacting Garrison's Fishing Guide Service (tel. 541/593-8394; www.garrisonguide.com). Expect to pay around $175 for a day of fishing. Fly-fishing supplies are available at The Fly Box, 1255 NE Third St. (tel. 541/388-3330), and in Sunriver at Sunriver Fly Shop, 56805 Venture Lane (tel. 541/593-8814; www.sunriverflyshop.com).
