trip description for Columbia River King Salmon Classic in Boardman

If you're looking to tangle with some of America's most impressive inland sportfish, Columbia River King and Silver Salmon should be at the top of your list! These fast, powerful fish are terrific fighters who'll take even experienced anglers for a ride, and they're one of the best-eating fish anywhere. Ask Captain Jeff about his favorite recipes! On this trip you'll target the Salmon as they head upriver to spawn. They're at the hungriest when they enter the rivermouth, and will whack a wide variety of lures and baits. You can expect big topwater takes, plus tons of bites from the middle of the water column as well. Captain Jeff runs these epic trips aboard a 26' Alumaweld skiff—a fast, manueverable boat that's ideal for river fishing! She sports a 200-HP Mercury outboard to keep you moving, and has room for up to six anglers! The fish are running-what are you waiting for? Read More

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.
