Sandy River Guide Service
Captin
Join Sandy River Guide Service for an unforgettable fishing trip. Captain Barry Buckland lives off the land and catches fish that others might never see during their lifetime.
Step on board his 17’ ClackaCraft drift boat, a classic vessel that can have you and 2 of your fishing friends on board. The fishfinder, paired with the captain’s extensive knowledge, will get you to the fishing grounds before you know it.
The day will be spent targeting Steelhead, Coho Salmon, and Chinook Salmon, surrounded by Oregon’s beautiful scenery. You’ll use a range of techniques, depending on your experience level, from trolling to jigging. Even the little ones will enjoy this trip, getting back to nature and away from the WiFi.
All rods and reels are provided for the day. The gear won’t let you down when reeling in your trophy catch. Food and drink for the day will also be supplied. Please purchase a fishing license before the trip from Oregon’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Office – if you’ve never purchased a license before, your captain is happy to answer any questions about this. For the species that can be kept (the captain will let you know which ones are in season) he will happily fillet them for you.
Book now for a wholesome trip with Sandy River Guide Service. You are sure to have a great time and tell all your friends about it when you’re back.

Half Day Trip
Great Trip
Our experience with Capt. Barry was wonderful. He took two inexperienced women, of a certain age, and gave us a perfect day. we were blessed with great weather, a lovely river, and salmon jumping all around us. We took home more than fish; we took great memories. Barry's kindness and patience as he taught us to fish was great. I'm already recommending Barry's trip to friends.

No fish, learned so much and had so much fun
Unfortunately we did not get anything, not even a bite but the water was beautiful, Captain Barry was super patient and explains things really well. We learned a lot about fish behavior, fishing techniques, and generally had a good time. Would recommend but check to make sure when the salmon runs are lol 😆

Great fishing trip on the Sandy River 5/3/25
This fishing trip was awesome! We learned so much from Captain Barry! We caught a nice sturgeon. I took a lot of notes on everything Captain Barry said. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and easygoing. We definitely plan to go again. It was a real treat!
