About the trip

Grande Ronde and Wallowa steelhead are renowned for how aggressively they take a fly, whether that's a top-water skater, a swung traditional, or drifted nymphs.

You would have to search a long way for a better multi-day fly fishing trip than the roadless Wallowa and Grande Ronde. Forty miles of canyon, federally designated Wild and Scenic. Clean air that smells of conifer and cottonwood, and a genuine haven from the abrasion of everyday life.

About the outfitter

Minam Store Outfitters

Operating since 1909

The Minam Store has been a family business since 1909, when the Goff and Fleser families built the first store at the junction of the Wallowa and Minam rivers to supply a community of sheep ranchers, loggers, and mill workers. A larger two-story store went up in 1925 with a general store downstairs and a dance hall above it, and served travellers until the highway was widened in the early 1960s. Grant and Lottie Richie bought the store, raft rental, and shuttle business in 2011, then bought the Minam Motel in 2013 and moved the whole operation to a permanent home on the east bank of the Wallowa.
