Welcome to Gorge Fly Shop, Inc.
34 Years
Gorge Fly Shop is a Hood River, Oregon fly shop focused on practical gear, honest advice, and setups that fish the way they should.
Established in 1992, we’re a full-service shop built around customer service and real on-the-water experience. We’re located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, where the variety of fly fishing within reach is hard to beat - steelhead, salmon, trout, smallmouth bass, and more.
Less than an hour away is the Deschutes River, famous for summer steelhead and wild redband rainbow trout. But we also love to travel and chase fish far from home. When it’s time to trade river boots for flats, we’ll help you gear up for saltwater — from Puget Sound sea-run cutthroat and coho to tropical flats for bonefish, permit, tarpon, and roosterfish, plus bluewater shots at tuna and dorado, we’ll help you dial the right setup and talk through the details.
Our online store features a deep catalog from leading manufacturers, plus the support to match the right rod, line, leader, and fly to your water. We offer free U.S. shipping on orders over $50 and shipping credits for international customers. Most in-stock orders ship the same day.
Visit our storefront in Hood River with free parking, a casting green, and big Gorge views. Fly Fish the World with Us - and fish your home water better along the way.
