RiverTrek NW is gearing up for a fantastic Columbia River King season! Salmon fishing in the Columbia River is without a question one of the biggest angling attractions in Oregon. From Astoria to Cascade Locks, this area is well-known for its abundance of King and Coho Salmon. Captain Wade Grant will track and follow these fish, making sure you have the best opportunity to reel in some prized catch.

Your trip will start on a 26’ River Wild aluminum fishing boat that can accommodate up to 6 guests. It’s powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots. For navigation, the boat uses all the modern GPS, autopilot, a fishfinder, and technology that will help you stay safe and on the right track throughout your trip.

Fishing the rivers of the Portland area will give you an excellent chance to catch Spring Chinook, Summer Chinook Salmon, as well as Columbia River Fall King and the prized Upriver Bright. You and Capt. Wade will chase these challenging fish on light tackle by trolling and drift fishing. You’ll get to keep your catch and take it home for a delicious dinner.

Capt. Wade will provide you with all the rods, reels, bait and tackle. He can also clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. Just make sure to bring your fishing licenses and lunch before you arrive on the boat.

Come aboard and have a great fishing trip with RiverTrek NW!

Captain Wade
Full Day Trip – Half & Half on October 5, 20252 adults
Captain Wade was the best. I caught 1 fish and had to turn it back because it was a native, but it wasn’t for the lack of trying on the captains end he did everything he could to find us fish. We had a great time! We will be booking another trip earlier in the season with Captain Wade next year. I wouldn’t want another captain.

Captain Wade made sure we had a great experience and excellent day of fishing. Great communication and information ahead of time. He went above and beyond to help us be the best anglers possible with the best opportunity to catch fish. We will definitely book him again for future trips.

We booked our trip with Captain Wade to find some end of season coho, but alas the fish gods were not smiling. Wade knew just where to rally though and we had an absolute blast catching sturgeon. His boat was so clean and his knowledge and warm demeanor really made the trip :) highly recommend

Captain Wade is a good dude. We had no idea what we were doing. He was super patient with us, including our children. He communicated very well prior to the trip. He also put us on the fish and we hit our limit. Can’t go wrong with Wade.
