The Fly Fisher's Place has announced that it is the exclusive booking agent for the private lake at Canyon Creek Ranch, located east of Prineville. The ranch features a 14-acre lake stocked with rainbow trout and offers exceptional fishing in spring, early summer and fall. Overnight accommodations are available, and fishing day trips are available for $100 per person.

"Having exclusive booking rights to the ranch gives our customers so many amazing opportunities to fish on the date of their choosing," said Jeff Perin, owner of The Fly Fisher's Place. "We aren't sharing booking dates with any other agents - when the fishing is good, our customers can enjoy it."

Perin is working with the owners of the ranch to stock 1,200 new trout in the lake immediately, along with existing Triploids, which is a species of rainbow trout known for quick growth. The team is also working together on other enhancements to the property, including planting four groves of poplar trees for shade.

"We will have guides available to take clients to the lake, but we anticipate most anglers will choose to fish Canyon Creek Ranch on their own," said Perin. The Fly Fisher's Place will provide a booking packet to clients that includes a map, gate code and equipment list. Bookings will open on March 1.
