Cairn, Chris, & Paley O'Donnell
Cairn and I operate River Runner Outfitters from the garage of our home in Bend, Oregon. 2017 is my fifteenth year guiding the Deschutes. I love to fish, love food, have a tireless work ethic, and an eye for composition. Cairn takes care of business and puts a lot of love into meal planning and preparation, as cooking is a passion of hers as well. Paley is our muse, providing daily inspiration to deliver an outstanding fly fishing experience from start to finish.
“Always impressed with the quality of the experience and left wanting more.”
“To say the amenities were exceptional would be an understatement.”
“Count on being put on fish, eating like kings and being treated like family.”
