Good article but the Deschutes National Forest pictures weren’t taken in the Deschutes National Forest or anywhere near it actually. They were taken on the Middle and Lower Deschutes Rivers that are administered by the BLM
Thanks for the compliments on the article. The photos we used are images from the businesses we highlighted in the area of the Deschutes National Forest and it’s available campgrounds. The guides fish and have access to various stretches of river and move depending on where the fish are most active. We chose to highlight businesses that are within reasonable driving distance of the campgrounds.
