Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    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!

    Mike was a great guide. Full of information and the right amount of conversation and appropriate silence. It was a life long goal of mine to catch a steelhead and Mike put me on many fish. Thanks Mike

    Scotty is a great guy and worked hard to catch fish. He was also easy going and friendly to fish with. I’ll be booking another trip soon.

    Trip: Steelhead Hook-Up

  • ★★★★★
    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!
