Spend the day with Chasin’ Tails Guide Service and see what's biting in Gold Beach! This is year round Salmon and Steelhead Fishing on the Rogue, Chetco, Elk, Sixes, Coquille, Coos, Umpqua and Smith Rivers!

These waters are known for Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Black Rockfish, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Josh also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be welcome aboard a 23' Willie Predator aluminum fishing boatwith capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Josh has rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Chasin’ Tails Guide Service.
