Preszler’s Guide Service

Preszler’s Guide Service invites you to try your hand at some world-class freshwater fishing in Washington. Captain George Preszler has been guiding trips on these rivers for over 20 years. He doesn’t believe in just taking people fishing – he would rather say that he takes people catching fish! If you want to fish and have something to show for it by the end of the day, he’s the man for the job.

His boat is a 25’ River Wild aluminum fishing machine that runs on twin 250 HP Yamaha engines. There’s enough room on the boat for up to 6 anglers, so you’re more than welcome to bring some friends along for the trip. With a GPS unit, fishfinder, and wireless trolling motor on board, you’ve got everything you need for a productive day on the water.

The only other thing you’ll need is fish, and there’s a number of them in these parts. Your main targets for the day will be Steelhead Trout as well as Chinook and Coho Salmon. To spruce things up, you’re also likely to run into some Walleye every now and then.

Capt. George will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle that you’ll need for a productive trip. You’ll need to bring a valid fishing license with you, along with a cooler and any drinks or snacks you’d like to have for the day ahead. Come on down for some fish catching action with Preszler’s Guide Service!

Walleye

VERIFIED   Full Day Trip on August 11, 2024
A new hatch of minnows caused the walleye to feed on them and would not bite.  Captain Preszler worked very hard to get us...

Captain George Preszler started fishing when he was just 10 years old and has loved being out on the water ever since. He specializes in Walleye, Salmon, and Steelhead fishing, and is fully devoted to the world of recreational fishing. His absolute favorite part of this is putting smiles on people's faces while helping them catch some fish. We fish for walleye March thru August. Spring chinook salmon late April thru May [depending on the run return]. Sockeye salmon June 16th thru July 10th [depending on the run return]. Fall king salmon and coho salmon early September till November 10th].
