Lance Fisher Fishing – Astoria

Experience the Pacific Northwest at its best with “Lance Fisher Fishing”! Whether you’re an experienced angler or this is your first time on the water, Captain Lance Fisher has the know-how to make your day on the water a memorable one. He’s been guiding since 2010, and fishing for much longer than that, so he knows the Oregon Coast’s fishing waters through and through.

Hop aboard his 25’ Willie Raptor performance fishing boat, ideal for fishing 6 anglers. This custom build was made with client comfort and fish-catching performance in mind. With tons of standing and sitting space, you won’t bump elbows when reeling in the big ones.

Head out of Astoria and you’ll have easy access to the Columbia River or the Pacific Ocean. There are fantastic, year-round, fishing opportunities for Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, and Crab.

All of your rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided for you. Capt. Lance is a G. Loomis and Shimano Pro Staffer, so it’s safe to say you’ll be using the best of the best. At the end of the trip, he’s happy to clean and fillet any keeper catch you want to take home.

If Capt. Lance himself is not available to take you out on the day of your trip, he has some experienced, hand picked guides who will step in to help you make some wonderful memories. All you need to bring are whatever drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy, as well as a valid fishing license. Capt. Lance will provide the link and details to help you purchase the appropriate license.

Fishing is something that’s better when shared, and Capt. Lance looks forward to sharing it with you!

I am a native Oregonian and have fished since I was able to hold a rod. I began life as a guide in 2001 and have since hosted thousands of clients, both private and corporate. There's nothing I like more than getting clients out fishing in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Over the years I have written and photographed for numerous regional and national publications, providing tips and tactics for cold water fishing to fellow anglers. This knowledge and love for the sport has also translated into numerous seminars for fishermen over the years. In addition, I spent 11 years hosting the NW Outdoor Show, which was a syndicated radio show where I hosted regional fishing authorities and national personalities. Fishing is something that’s better when shared, and I use all of my expertise to provide the best guided fishing trip I can. Whether you prefer a private trip or like to meet others on a shared boat, I look forward to sharing some time on the water with you.
