Good fishing on the oregon coast out of Nehalem and manzanita Oregon as well as in the Portland Oregon area. Our fall chinook run is strong and the fish are beautiful. Mainly catching these fish trolling with flashers and lures.

Crabbing has been great lately! Bottom fishing for salmon is slowing down, but it's not too early to start booking for spring Chinook in Tillamook bay, starting in May!

Sturgeon fish and catch and release continues to be awesome from Portland Oregon to the Oregon coast. We have had customers from all over the US having a great experience catching 4 to 8 foot fish. Here's a few pics from today.

Fishing in Astoria Oregon has been outstanding for trophy oversize Sturgeon. Unfortunately, it's all catch and release this year but these are the hardest fighting fish you can ever experience. Fishing in under 5 feet of water these prehistoric dinosaurs when hooked come jumping out of the water making a memory that is unforgettable. Size of fish range from 5-10 ft in average. July is the best time to go!

This week's Salmon and Sturgeon around Portland, Oregon has been phenomenal with these hard fighting Sturgeon ranging from 3 feet to 10 feet in size. Salmon fishing has been a little spotty but there's still some around to be caught. Recently I am doing salmon in the morning and Sturgeon in the afternoon. combo trips, fun for the whole family.

Great experience and trip!!
Patrick was the perfect guide, they caught a total of 15 all boys and their granddad love love loved it. Would do it again today if grandma Dee could afford it lol
We love the Oregon Coast and have never had much luck fishing until today. Our 10-year-old caught two salmon, and we took home three along with crabs for dinner. Bryan was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. The river is beautiful, and the whole experience was so much fun for our family. We went home with cleaned fish and crabs ready to cook. It doesn’t get better than fresh seafood while staying at the coast.
highly recommend!”
Our guidance captain Ken was excellent! Fishing with him everything was relaxing, calm and kicked back enjoyable. Boat was clean and all the gear was wonderful shape. He is a great guide highly recommended. Thanks for everything Ken, we really appreciate it.
Craig was amazing! I reached out the day before to ask some questions, he responded very quickly and took care of all my questions. We took out our 2 boys (5/7), and Craig was amazing with them. He put us in the right spot, taught us what to do, and the boys did the rest. He pointed us in the right direction as to where to get the crabs cooked, couldn't of asked for more. 100% recommend. We will do again if we're back in the area.
Chris was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the Rogue River. Great boat and equipment for a great day of Fishing. Left us with knew knowledge on how to catch Salmon. Will reach out to Chris next time we are ready to go out. Most important we caught fish!
Ken is amazing! He got us on fish and we had a great time! Ken knows how to fish the Columbia and the Willamette. I will definitely be chartering with him again!
He taught my son how to filet the fish we caught and my son loved it!
My son had the best 18th birthday!
We had an great experience out on the ocean with this guide. From the start, everything was well-organized and professional, but still laid-back enough to just enjoy the day. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and you could tell the guide really knew the water and where to find fish.
We were on fish quickly, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. The guide was great about helping when needed but also let us do our own thing, which made it even more enjoyable. Whether it was baiting hooks, giving tips, or netting fish, they were right there without overdoing it.
What stood out most was the knowledge and effort—they clearly put in the time to make sure we had a successful trip. We ended up bringing home a solid catch and had a great time doing it.
Highly recommend this guide if you’re looking for a fun, productive day on the ocean. I’d definitely book again.
My son and i had a wonderful day on the water with guide Matt. Matt is very personable, fishes hard and knows how to fish the Oregon coastal rivers. I highly recommend him.
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!!
