I am a part time fishing guide and full time teacher. I have been guiding for 3 years but have fished all of my life and have dedicated most of my time to the outdoors. My whole family is involved in the outdoors and I love hunting and fishing. I enjoy chasing salmon all over the state of Washington and being able to take people out fishing to share my passion has been a lot of fun.

About Your Trip

Spend a day fishing the Columbia River with Thor aboard a 24' utility boat built for chasing fish across one of the Pacific Northwest's most productive fisheries. This trip is designed for anglers of all experience levels, whether you're a seasoned fisherman or stepping onto a boat for the first time.

Depending on the season, you'll target some of the Columbia's most popular species using trolling techniques. Opportunities throughout the year include Walleye from March through July, Sockeye Salmon from mid-June through July, King Salmon on limited dates in May and again from July through October (subject to seasonal regulations), and combination Walleye and catch-and-release Sturgeon trips during the summer months.

Your trip will begin at 6:00 AM, though the exact meeting location will be discussed 1–3 days before the trip. Thor will choose the launch point based on current fishing conditions and where the fish are holding, helping maximize your time on the water.

You'll be fishing from a 24' utility boat, a practical and versatile setup that's well-suited for covering water on the Columbia River. With plenty of room for anglers and gear, the boat provides a comfortable platform for trolling and moving between fishing areas throughout the day.

All rods, reels, tackle, and fishing gear are included, so there's no need to bring your own equipment unless you'd like to. Fish cleaning is also included at no additional cost, allowing you to head home with your catch cleaned and ready for the table.

If you're looking to fish the Columbia River with a knowledgeable guide who can tailor the day to the season and your goals, Thor is ready to get you on the water.
