Speywater Lodge

FreshwaterGrande Ronde River above Troy, Oregon — lower Grande Ronde, Washington

Scott O'Donnell, a Spey casting instructor, runs this small steelhead lodge on the Grande Ronde above Troy in northeast Oregon and takes six anglers a week at most. Each day the group floats a different section and gets out to wade the best runs; in October there are also four-day raft trips for six anglers on the lower river, camping as they go. The O'Donnells guided the Ronde for years before buying the permanent lodge in 2014.
