Captain Kirk has been navigating rivers since he was just 14 years old, building a lifetime of experience fishing throughout the Pacific Northwest. He even spent time guiding the wild rivers of Alaska before returning to Oregon, where he has become especially passionate about chasing giant White Sturgeon, Salmon, and Steelhead.
With more than 20 years of hands-on guiding experience, Kirk knows the Snake, John Day, Umatilla, Columbia, and surrounding fisheries and understands how to adjust as seasons and river conditions change.
Kirk welcomes everyone from first-time fishermen and families to experienced anglers looking for their next serious river adventure. Expect plenty of instruction, stories, laughs, and opportunities for memorable photos along the way. His approach combines decades of river knowledge with a strong emphasis on safety, conservation, and making sure his guests enjoy their time on the water.
