“To be found by a steelhead and chosen is nothing to be taken lightly. We are honored and graced by each steelhead encounter.”. - James
What is Humble Heron?
Humble Heron Fly Fishing is a fly-fishing outfit out of Port Orford Oregon. Owners James and Kait (Bailey) Sampsel started their operations in the Fall of 2016 but have guided rivers all over the West and Central America collectively for the better part of 30 years. Their focus is on the zen of the swung fly for elusive steelhead. They passionately guide guests on many of Southern Oregon’s premier rivers.
Humble Heron takes pride in facilitating “whole” river experiences. With years of instruction and work with the industry’s top names they leave no stone unturned. From first impressions to hugs goodbye, their attention to their guest’s experience sets them apart. Beyond seeking and catching a fish, the hunt for steelhead can leave you changed forever. Locked in memory and replayed time and again, a day on the water with these two will leave you whole and connected.
~ “Fishing for steelhead is about the moment and time on the river. Feel your cares lift away and the river flow through your soul. If we’re lucky we might bump into one”. - Kait
