Hi, I wanted to take my dad to some place near Sun River where we can fish from off of a bank or a bridge. My dad just had knee surgery and I wanted to do something that doesn't require his crutches and I always wanted to start up fishing and this seems like the best time. Was there anywhere close to sun river like on the deschutes that anyone knows of where we could just sit on a bank or on a bridge and just cast out (not fly fishing). I have an attachment that is a photo of the rods i have. The first two on the left are some cheap rods I got at a Fred Meyer last year and the two on the right were my step grandfather's. The one on the very right is a Garcia Mitchell 306 and the rod second to the right is a Pen 209 Level Wind. Could we fish with these rods? Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The two spinning rods from Fred Meyer will provide well for you when fishing for trout near Sunriver. I have not fished in the area, but here is a link that might help:

I hope your trip goes well.

If you travel a few miles to the south of Sunriver you have your choice of several of the premier lakes in Oregon. There's East and Paulina lakes to the east of highway toward LaPine, and to the west is Craine Prarie, and Cresent Lakes. There's also a few fly fishing lakes in that area. The Oregon record German Brown was caught at Paulina lake. I'm hoping to get over there myself before the weather turns cold. Tight Lines...

Thank you very much guys. Your comments were very helpful.
