About Me

Hi, I'm Michael Dooley, a passionate fly fishing guide based in Bend, Oregon. With a deep love for the outdoors and a lifetime of experience in fly fishing, I am dedicated to providing unforgettable tours and experiences for my clients. After graduating from Montana State University, I decided to turn my passion into a profession and have been guiding ever since. Growing up in Northern Idaho, I developed a strong connection to nature and fly fishing became a way of life for me. I constantly strive to enhance my tours by researching and exploring new locations and techniques. If you're looking for an authentic and exciting fly fishing adventure, get in touch with me.
