RiverTrek NW will take you on an unforgettable Salmon fishing trip all around Oregon. Whether you want to go fishing in Tillamook Bay, Depoe Bay, or Astoria, Wade Grant has you covered. He started fishing when he was a kid and he never stopped. His grandpa taught him how to bait his first hook and now he does the same for other people. Seeing a kid catch his first fish ever is the most rewarding moment in this business.

The boat has all the necessary navigational and safetyCoast Guard approved life vests are always onboard. Kids under 12 will need their own USCG-approved vest that fits them properly.

Tillamook Bay trips focus mainly on Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Tillamook Steelhead in the winter and early spring. As mentioned, the main technique will be trolling but you can also expect a bit of drift fishing. Once you've finished your trip, the captain will clean the catch for you free of charge.

Your fishing equipment, tackle, and bait are provided. You'll need to purchase your fishing license, bring a lunch, and wear waterproof clothing.

    Crabbing / Rockfish Private(4) on August 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    My 13 year old and I both caught monster salmon that gave us a run for our money. Captain Wade was awesome and helped us get fish in the boat when others were having a hard time hooking fish. So…much…fun!

    Full day on the Columbia

    Full Day Trip on October 10, 2020 • 4 adults

    I recently went out on a full day trip with Captain Wade. It was easily the worst weather day of the fall and while we had to work to catch fish, we put a few in the boat. Wade stayed positive the entire time even when the wind and waves caused the ugliest rats nest tangle I've seen in quite a while! Great guy and great experience...give him a try, I doubt you'd be disappointed!

My Dad and Grandpa got me hooked on this life when I was about 6 years old. I've been fishing the Northwest rivers and ocean ever since! I love sharing my experience, stories, and excitement with all of my clients. My favorite thing is probably seeing the smile on a client's face when they hook into their first big fish... and there is nothing better than hearing a kid say... 'got one!'
