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 on the planet.

Have had some good steelhead fishing recently. Weather has been cold but the fish are still biting. The season is really just starting out we should see the best fishing in febuary and March. Most of the fishing we do is bobber fishing and it's very active and fun for just about who enjoys a good day on the water.

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!
