Coastal success recently chinook and coho fishing. Fishing continues to remain steady and should through the remainder of the month. With rainfall the fish will move up river and we will potentially change techniques but should still see some good fishing.

Fishing in Astoria Oregon on the ocean and lower Columbia River. River trophy sturgeon is on and the fishing is great. Lots of big fish. This is a ton of action and fish average 5' and close to a 100lbs. Catch and release Salmon is open in the ocean. Lots of fish showing up. Pic of nice chinook today. Both coho and chinook are available. It'll stay steady and just get better.

Lots of fun left to be had winter steelhead fishing. With rain in the forecast, we should see a fresh push of fish. We also have some spring chinooks starting to show up in our rivers. So be sure to get out this spring for some of the best-tasting salmon...

From the first handshake at the boat ramp, Riley was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about guiding. Riley put the boys on fish quickly, adjusted to river conditions, and kept them on quality steelhead all day. Thanks to his experience, river knowledge, my husband and our two sons landed 9 beautiful steelhead and created memories that will last a lifetime. He created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with great conversation, helpful tips, and genuine hospitality throughout the trip. If you are searching for a Siletz River steelhead guide, or family-friendly steelhead charter near Lincoln City, you will be thrilled with a guided trip with Riley!!

It was a really nice experience we had with Wade. It was a windy day, but we were lucky that day so we caught a lot of crabs. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable person.

This was our 2nd time using Wade. He is a wonderful guide and got us on the sturgeon. Our group had an amazing time and we can't wait to book our next trip with Captain Wade!

The family had a great time with Rod. He got us on plenty of crab and was very helpful and friendly with my kids. I would highly recommend Rod as a captain!

My dad and I took an 8 hour guided trip on the Willamette. Ken is very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and prepared. His equipment is all impressive and well maintained, he carefully explained safety procedures, he also happily shared a lot of valuable information with us about future fishing endeavors. We caught a 20 inch “15 lb” silver salmon. We will definitely book another trip with him, likely for springers!

Our crabbing trip exceeded my expectations. Craig's boat had comfortable seats. He offered us high quality lightweight life jackets (the blow-up kind). He told us the ocean was relatively calm and asked if we wanted to leave the bay and go out there. We did. He instructed us how to drop the crab pots, then entertained us (and our 4-year-old granddaughter) while we waited before checking the pots. We saw sea lions on a buoy; saw hundreds of jellyfish; learned about air bladders on fish like canary rockfish. our granddaughter got to view the radar screen showing where fish were. A first for any of our family: We caught our limit of crab, which Craig worked with my two sons to clean and cook for us. I felt completely safe with Craig. He is very knowledgeable and responsible; answered all my questions ahead of time. A wonderful, memorable day, well worth setting out before dawn.

We had an absolute blast with Captain Kelly. We were all new to Salmon wishing and Kelly took care of it all from bait to fillet. He treated us with respect and did not hesitate when we ended the trip early so we could use the restroom. My mom, girlfriend and I had fish for months by the end of our trip.

Rod was great! We took my dad out salmon fishing for his birthday. Rod was an amazing guide. He was patient and very knowledgeable. Super personable and great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend Rod and and can’t wait to come back!

When I moved to Oregon from Chicago 3 years ago, one of the “must do’s” was catch my first fish. Thanks to the instruction and encouragement from Captain Bryan, the fruits of this Labor Day trip resulted in reeling in a 17 lb salmon. I was thrilled. Our final cache for the day-one super salmon and 17 crab. Highly recommend this trip for to beauty of the bay, peek at the ocean, and a great combination of fishing and crabbing. We’ve already planned an ocean Coho trip on return. Captain Bryan was the perfect combination of encouraging, entertaining, and an excellent teacher. Counting the days until we can do it again!
