Background
The Oregon Fishing Club was Started in 1989 by Bruce Harpole and his father Howard, who dreamed of fishing from the shoreline in clean, uncrowded, family-friendly locations. While floating the Santiam River they came up with the idea of leasing private land to create a network of lakes and ponds that members could access. From this simple idea, the Oregon Fishing Club was created.
After over 33 years of being in business, the Oregon Fishing Club is still a family-run business, with owners Bruce and Connie Harpole spearheading the operation, along with their oldest daughter, Elizabeth Henkel. Todd Saylor is the operations manager for the properties, and Bob Walker is the tour coordinator for prospective members.
Member Testimonials
OFC has added years to my life. Sure, I catch plenty of fish, but just knowing I have a special place to listen to birds, watch the wildlife and totally unwind has been amazing.
– Rick True
As a single woman who usually fishes alone, I appreciate the feeling of safety I have on the club properties, as I have had a couple of scares on public property in the past. I also appreciate being able to camp without with few or no neighbors. Of course catching big trout is a big plus as well!
– Beth Jappay
I’ve been an OFC member for 10 years and I have had some exceptional good times with the club. If you like catching 4 to 8 lb trout in private lakes and ponds or fish for salmon on some of Oregon’s best rivers, then talk to Bruce about joining the club. Every location is unique and offers privacy, and beautiful scenery just minutes from the big city. Some locations offer – camping, too.
