Dra Troutfest
We’ve intentionally scheduled our Oregon event to coincide with the Deschutes River Alliance (DRA) Troutfest, which will take place over the weekend of our event.
This partnership creates a unique opportunity for participants to connect, learn from industry experts, and come together in celebration of the Deschutes River. Troutfest will feature a vibrant community atmosphere with educational clinics, delicious food, refreshing beer, and live music.
