- The North Umpqua River passes through the national forest and features some of the finest steelhead fishing in the world. The average North Umpqua steelhead weighs eight pounds, though sometimes they're twice that. The river is fishable year round, though the steelhead start showing in June, peak in July, and continue through November. The river is fly-fishing-only in the summer.
- Stay at the Steamboat Inn on the North Umpqua Highway in Steamboat, Oregon, during your fly-fishing expedition. The inn's well-stocked fly shop specializes in North Umpqua fishing and is the perfect place to outfit yourself.
- Contact Tony Wratney of Bend's Summer Run Guide Service for guided fly-fishing or drift boat trips on the North Umpqua.
- Horseshoe Bend Campground is situated on a beach adjacent to the North Umpqua River and is shaded by an open stand of old-growth Doug-fir and pine. It is open to fly angling from shore.
