Offering incredible trips suitable for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking to learn the basics of the sport or hope to break a personal record with the biggest fish, Captain Joel is happy to guide you to your goal. He’s been fishing in these waters for 18 years and guiding it for 13.

It all takes place on a new 27’ River Wild Elite custom guide boat. She’s spacious and seats 6 customers with comfy armchair seating. The boat is one of the most tricked out guide boats in the fleet. You’ll also find a toilet and electric plus gas trolling motors.

You will have a great shot at landing fish. Depending on the ever-changing fishing regulations, you will be fishing for either Chinook/King or Coho/Silver Salmon but usually both. Most years you get to keep one Chinook (hatchery/min 24") and one Coho/Silver (hatchery/min 16"). Or you can keep up to 2 Coho in Aug. Every rod can continue to fish until you get the boat limit!

All fishing and safety equipment is covered and so is fish cleaning and filleting. Bring your fishing licenses, pack some snacks, and get ready to have the time of your life!
