Winter steelhead fishing on the Cowlitz River in Washington state has been great. We're catching limits or near limits every day.

My home rivers are closed now for the rest of winter steelhead season. They will open Memorial Day weekend for summer steelhead. I am transitioning to the Cowlitz river in my my jet sled with room for up to 4 fishermen, and the Kalama river in my driftboat with room for 2. I've been intermittently fishing the Kalama river over the last few weeks with average to good fishing. I will be fishing these rivers till mid- late March. Then I'll be fishing the lower Columbia River near Longview Washington for the famed Spring Chinook through the lower river closure that typically happens around April 4th-6th. I

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.

    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!

    Trip: Sturgeon Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    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!
