Anyone here fish the Grande Ronde river? I have my own cataraft and would LOVE to tag along and float this river sometime with someone who has their own setup, so I can see where the put in and take out is and gain river some experience. Obviously I would be more than happy to patriciate in shuttling as well. :hello:
I float the whitewater stretch every year. I have some buddies who float boggans down for fishing and do ok. Nothing technical just lots of wood and a long drive for us. lol.

If interested in smallmouth then June is your month. Float bogans to shoemaker. Catch 50-100 a day
That sounds like a fun trip!

Are there any campgrounds above the river away from the hustle n bustle of the river? One of my bird dogs is a bit of a thief and thinks nothing of stealing food from anyone but a Mastiff.
Thanks, for any info up front.

Longtime lurker here with my first post.
Rowed it many times in my hard boat. 17' Willie
State line to Boggans: Not very technical. Makes for a nice day long trip and no driving at the end of the day if you lodge at boggans. lots of good water. My only caution would be that there is an oxbow that for a very brief time puts you back in OREGON. A WA license is not valid for that 200 yard section. It was marked well at one time. At last float the sign was shot up though. On-X is your friend here.
Boggans to Shumaker: Not overly technical, you will do some banging and clanging at low CFS in a hard boat in some spots. Absolutely stunning scenery, Bring your glass and a camera. You will see sheep on the cliffs. Watch the weather if your heart is set on this float in winter. Too much snow and ice will prevent the drivers from offering shuttles down the Shumaker grade. Its steep. 4wd recommended. Shuttle cost as of last fall was $200.
