Visit Wheeler Oregon and discover the scenery and fishing opportunities of Nehalem Bay State Park. With Caleb's Guide Service Nehalem you'll be under the wing of titular Captain Caleb Runyan and he'll provide you with professional guidance as well as some fun time while exploring the scenic area.

Experience the serene bay on the Alumaweld supervee model from 2020. The boat is 25 feet long and it can accommodate up to 6 guests per trip. For your better fishing experience, there's fishfinding equipment on board. The vessel can reach speeds up to 35 knots with its two Mercury engines.

With its wonderful location, the charter specializes in river inshore fishing from early autumn to early spring. You'll be able to catch two species of Salmon – Chinook, and Coho. Anglers can test their skills in light and heavy tackle, as well as fly fishing. Also, if you want to stock up on some crab meat, there are crab hunting tours.

Be sure to check online for the Oregon fishing license, as the charter doesn't cover it. Necessary fishing equipment and lures are available on board, just bring refreshments and snacks for yourself. Families with children are welcome, and should they catch yummy fish, the crew will help with cleaning.

Treat yourself with a gorgeous day on the river bay and hopefully fill your fridge with delicious Salmon. Don't miss out on this wonderful chance and book a trip with Capt. Caleb.

Caleb is great
Half Day Trip on August 8, 20255 adults

My family and I had a great time fishing. We caught 4 fish - most of them near the end of the trip. Caleb worked very hard trying to find the right spot for us. He was also really good with my kids - being patient and helping when needed.

Full day of river salmon fishing
Full Day Trip on November 22, 20212 adults

I have fished a lot. Caleb is a very talented fisherman. He kindly steered me to a better fishing location than I suggested, which proved to be excellent idea as we hooked salmon after salmon. More over, this was not a spot many others fished. His gear and boat are totally set up. He’s also a genuinely nice guy all around. I have already scheduled another trip. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to others. You will be hard pressed to find a guide that is any more talented or more pleasant to spend the day with. When fishing bait, he basically re-baited my gear every cast. Who does that? It goes to show how closely he pays attention that you have a great experience. Quality show here and well worth with it. 👍🏼

I started fishing When I was a young kid. The first thing I learned to do was fly fish then as I grew older I learned more and more techniques. Now I use my knowledge to teach others how to have a great time on the water. I love to help people catch there first Salmon or steelhead. Nothing is more rewarding than that. The opportunity of catching the fish of a lifetime every time a new fish is on the line has me coming back for more and always will.
