    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!

    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!

    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!
