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!

    Trip: Salmon/Steelhead Float

  • ★★★★★
    From the first handshake at the boat ramp, Riley was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about guiding. Riley put the boys on fish quickly, adjusted to river conditions, and kept them on quality steelhead all day. Thanks to his experience, river knowledge, my husband and our two sons landed 9 beautiful steelhead and created memories that will last a lifetime. He created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with great conversation, helpful tips, and genuine hospitality throughout the trip. If you are searching for a Siletz River steelhead guide, or family-friendly steelhead charter near Lincoln City, you will be thrilled with a guided trip with Riley!!

    Trip: Winter Steelhead On The Siletz

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Trip: Willamette River Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    When I moved to Oregon from Chicago 3 years ago, one of the “must do’s” was catch my first fish. Thanks to the instruction and encouragement from Captain Bryan, the fruits of this Labor Day trip resulted in reeling in a 17 lb salmon. I was thrilled. Our final cache for the day-one super salmon and 17 crab. Highly recommend this trip for to beauty of the bay, peek at the ocean, and a great combination of fishing and crabbing. We’ve already planned an ocean Coho trip on return. Captain Bryan was the perfect combination of encouraging, entertaining, and an excellent teacher. Counting the days until we can do it again!
