Williamson River

Fish from or walk for pure joy the grassy banks of 6 miles of pristine and private waters of the Williamson River.  The only sounds are Sand Hill Cranes in the meadows, Canadian geese flapping low overhead, the coyote yelping to his friends, and most important,  the splash of greedy trout.

The Williamson River is fed by 6 springs, 5 of which are located on the ranch producing 45 cubic feet per second year round.  The springs stay at a consistent 42 degrees and are not affected by snow melt or summer heat.

The deep pools and undercut banks created by this slow meandering stream along with fallen trees, rocks, and weeds offer incredible habitat for monster rainbow and brook trout.

The Williamson River is suitable for wade/walk fishing, for the beginner and intermediate level fly fisherman and yet challenging enough for even the most experienced fisherman.

“A harvest moon played hide-and seek behind the tall pines and then bathed the sedge meadows in ghostly light. 

…[We] cast Sofa Pillow and big yellow Mayfly patterns until rosy twilight faded in the west and the moon rose in the east. 

…Each man reluctantly retraced his steps from the softly meandering headwaters of the spring-born Williamson River… 

…Rainbow trout to 26 inches and blocky brook trout had teased us during the brief magical twilight period. 

…Trout bulges, rings and dorsal fins disturbed the velvet black river surface. Put that fly in front of the trout and just maybe a lunker might strike….” 

–Tom McAllister, The Oregonian.
