Matt Mendes: Fly Fishing + Protecting the Deschutes River
Meet Matt Mendes—a Warm Springs tribal member, fly fishing guide, and steward of the Deschutes River. This stunning waterway isn’t just a backdrop for Matt’s life—it’s his heritage, a legacy passed down from his grandfather, who opened miles of the river to others.
From teaching the art of hooking trout and steelhead to organizing clean-ups and tree plantings, Matt’s work is about honoring the land and sharing its beauty. Every cast tells a story of tradition, connection, and care.
