Grant Putnam ~
See more about Grant at Grant's Outdoor Adventures
Grant grew up in the Pacific Northwest with a love of the outdoors, fishing and hunting. Spending time with his Dad, Grandfather, and their many friends fostered a love of this sport and the outdoors.
Grant graduated from David Douglas High School in 1978. He lettered in football, basketball and baseball where he learned the importance of teamwork and building friendships.
Putnam explains that the reason he’s a guide is because he loves people, the great outdoors and being able to share it with others. He says he really enjoys “the relationships that are developed with each guest during our adventures.” Grant came from a corporate background where he would entertain his own clients by taking them hunting and fishing and felt that he could bring something special to the industry by becoming a professional guide himself.
Whether he’s guiding family trips, or for friends, or for corporate outings, he says it’s about the journey and being able to share the fisheries and outdoor activities with new and old friends, “that is the reason that I’m doing what I’m doing.”
Grant has been guiding full-time since 1995. He also has a farm and cattle ranch in Central Oregon and has spent many years Team Roping in Rodeos. Grant is an accomplished auctioneer and enjoys the success that brings to organizations, individuals and events.

I still remember my first fly-caught Deschutes fish. I was hooked on this river for good! This year will be my 15th season guiding on the Deschutes. I want you to come experience this special fishery for yourself. Field Guide Service will treat you to the Deschutes River and its special summer steelhead fishing. For the beginner or the person new to the area we have the fly gear and patient instruction to have you swimming your fly to the fish in no time. For the experienced fly angler, we can put you on the class A fly water where you can test your skills against the river and its fish. Above all else, you'll have a great day catching and releasing fish in the Deschutes River Canyon ~ Pete Field

Retired Guide, Mike Duley
I grew up fishing with my dad. He started teaching me the art and science of flyfishing at age 5. In the family boat on lakes or off shore, we fished up and down the west coast. The High Sierras, my summer playground, is where I honed my flyfishing skills on brown, rainbow and golden trout.
In 1970 at age 24, I moved to Oregon. Fishing became my way of life. Hopping over rocks and floating rivers in pursuit chrome bright steelhead, salmon and wild trout is why I settled here. I managed the flyfishing department for a sporting goods store and their guide programs many years. In my spare time I taught flyfishing classes for schools and worked for guides on my days off. In 1993 I establish my guide and outfitter business Acton Anglers Inc…
Teaching FFF certified flyfishing classes and fly tying classes to my clients is special.
Landing as many species of fish as possible on a fly rod has become a lifetime goal!
Mike retired from the guiding business in 2009 and left his legacy in the trusty hands of Grant, Pete and Rick.
Let's go fishing!
