The section we fish is located near Prineville and is the most productive stretch.  It is federally designated the Crooked Wild and Scenic River, and is renowned for its fly fishing.  The quality of the fishing is highly dependent on river flows, and the club typically cancels trips if the river is below 100 cfs or above 400 cfs.

The club usually camps in one of two campgrounds next to the river--Chimney Rock and Cobble Rock--though some stay in Prineville motels.  A long day trip is also possible.

Follow OR-22E and US-20E to OR-126E in Sisters (109 miles).  Turn left.  After 23 miles turn left onto US-97 N.  Follow OR-126 E to OR-27 S/Crooked River Hwy (through Prineville).  After 34 miles the Chimney Rock Campground first appears on the right, followed by the Cobble Rock Campground a little further down the road.

This BLM campground is open year-round and has 16 first-come-first-served sites, some of which are large enough for RVs and larger trailers.  There are vault toilets, and potable water is available.  The river is immediately next to the campground, and this campground has an accessible platform near the entrance.

This BLM campground is also open year-round and has 14 first-come-first-served sites, many immediately next to the river.  There are vault toilets, but no water is available, and the sites are smaller.
