If you’re looking to experience some first-class Sturgeon fishing in the Pacific Northwest, Captain Dave Eng invites you to join him onboard Dave’s Fisheng Guide Service for a fun and productive day out on the waters of Eagle Creek, Oregon. No matter your age or skill level, Capt. Dave can’t wait to use his years of knowledge and experience to help you reel ‘em in, local-style!
Capt. Dave has been operating his guide service for a year, but has been exploring these fishing grounds for the past 45 years. He lives along the Clackamas River, so it’s fair to say that he really is at home on these waters! As well as plenty of hands-on experience, he has also worked at Salmon Trout Steelheader magazine since 2001, and loves sharing the knowledge he has built up with both new and seasoned anglers.
Capt. Dave targets a variety of different fishing grounds, including local rivers, lakes, and inshore waters. He’ll arrange the exact location with you before your trip, depending on where the fish are biting. You’ll be traveling out to the hottest grounds around in a 25’ River Wild aluminum fishing vessel. She’s perfectly built to cruise the kinds of waters that Sturgeon, Salmon, and Trout thrive in.
Onboard, you’ll find all the necessary safety and navigational gear, including outriggers for maximum fishability! You’ll also be decked out with top-quality Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa rods and reels.
Capt. Dave prides himself on offering his guests everything that is needed for an incredible trip, so all you need to do is show up with your friends and family, and get ready for a top-notch, educational day on the water. Kids under 14 will get to fish with a huge discount!
Come aboard Dave’s Fisheng Guide Service and get ready to reel ‘em in, local-style!

We booked the half day sturgeon fishing with Dave and it was incredible. He’s great company and was awesome with our two kids. If we ever make it back out here for another vacation, we would be booking with Dave again.

"Fishing the Pacific NW for the last 45 years, I have worked in the fishing industry and since 2001 along with owning FISHENG PRODUCTS and the advertising executive at Salmon and Steelhead Journal, my home is on the Clackamas River so I guess you could say this is my passion, hobby, and job!" Capt. David has been a licensed captain for a year, but he’s been in this industry for an impressive 30 years. Fishing really is his life - his day job involves working for a fishing magazine! He's fished all over the world, and can't wait to share his years of knowledge and experience with you. Customers say he’s easy going, easy to be around, and has good boat demeanor.
