Experience Columbia River Salmon fishing at its finest with Anvil Outdoors Guide Service. Captain Joel’s trips are novice and family-friendly, so there’s no angler left behind. No matter what your age and skill levels are, you can join one of these trips.
You’ll be fishing on a 27’ River Wild Elite that accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat features the latest navigational electronics and a 250 HP V8 Mercury outboard.
As promised, this is the right place if you want to target any Chinook and up to 5 jacks. Coho Salmon and steehead are also caught. You get to keep the catch and the captain will clean/fillet it for you before you leave the boat.
All fishing gear is provided! There’s no need to rent it or bring your own. There’s also going to be bottled water on the boat, but feel free to bring snacks and drinks of your choice. Don’t forget to purchase your fishing license and tag. A Discovery pass is needed for parking.

Astoria Chinook/Coho “Buoy 10”
Took a Full day trip with Joel from anvil. Weather was ruff, fishing was tuff. It’s called fishing not catching, the boat was able to land around a 20lbs native that seen another day. Cap Joel has a beautiful boat that’s a fishing machine, capt Joel is full of knowledge and my hats off to his skill. I’d recommend this trip to anyone in the future.
