What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

My husband and I spent 4 hours with Steve as a start to our fly fishing hobby. We came from Cincinnati and found the right company for the experience. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, fully prepared and fish were caught! I highly recommend Vice Outdoors if you are a beginner or an experienced fly fisher.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Steven. After stepping away from fly fishing for a few years, I wanted to brush up on my skills and learn more about our local river system—and Vice Outdoors exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone, from beginners to those needing to learn our local water and build skills.

I was tired of getting skunked on the Boise so I hired Steve and he didn’t disappoint. He got me dialed in on the right bugs and some good runs. Needless to say we caught fish and had a great day on the water. Steve is very knowledgeable and a really great teacher. I highly recommend Vice Outdoors and Steve Sandusky as a guide!

Owyhee River Fly Fishing Guides

Looking to target trophy brown trout in a stunning canyon setting? The Owyhee River is one of the best wild trout tailwaters in the West — and we guide it every week from early spring through fall.

Vice Outdoors specializes in Owyhee River guided fishing trips below the dam near Adrian, Oregon, just 90 minutes from Boise. We focus on walk-and-wade fly fishing that puts you close to the action and in the right spot for every hatch.

This section of river is world-renowned for:

  • Wild brown trout over 20 inches

  • Epic dry fly hatches (Skwalas, PMDs, BWOs, Hoppers, Mahogany Duns)

  • Remote canyon views with technical trout fishing

We offer:

  • Full-day guided Owyhee trips with flies, lunch, and expert instruction

  • Personalized setups and coaching for anglers of all levels

  • Gear if needed — or we’ll help you dial in what to bring
