Fisherman Mike’s Guide Service, LLC
Mill City, Oregon · Fishes North Santiam River
Mike Ferris runs the North Santiam by named drift: Fishermans Bend to Mehama, Mehama to Stayton, Stayton to Green’s Bridge and Green’s Bridge to Interstate 5, with the Pack Saddle Park to Fisherman’s Bend run opening in early summer through May and June. The quarry over the year runs from trout to Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. Trips are sold on this one river rather than on a long catalogue of water, and which run gets picked on a given day follows the flow and how far up the fish have pushed.
