Miller’s Sportfishing welcomes you to the home of some of the best Salmon and Steelhead fishing in the world. Join Captain Jim, who has 35 years of fishing experience in the Pacific Northwest. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, and soon became a decades long profession. With an experienced guide by your side, you’re bound to have an amazing experience on the water.

You’ll be fishing on a 21’ Alumaweld that will carry you wherever the fish are. The boat is powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine and reaches a speed of 35 knots. There’s enough room for 4 anglers to join, so bring your family or fishing buddies along. Besides navigational electronics, the boat also features a wireless trolling engine and fishing equipment, so you’ll have everything you need, ready before you arrive.

Choose the trip depending on what you want to target. One adventure will take you to loads of Steelhead and the other brings different types of Salmon to you – Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye. An occasional Sturgeon is possible as well. You get to keep the catch within regulations and the captain will clean and fillet it for you free of charge.

All fishing equipment is covered by the captain and included in the price. Don’t forget to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.

Bountiful rivers and streams are waiting for your hook. Join Miller’s Sportfishing and take your prize!

8 Hour Trip - Spring Chinook

GREAT day on the water!

VERIFIED

Captain Jim was an absolute treasure to find! We did an 8 hour trip today. The weather was incredible. There were bald eagles going over head all day. The water is crystal clear and fun to watch the fish run. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and he told us all about Big Foot. Yall, this is the guide you're looking for. We chit chatted for 8 hours and I'd do it again tomorrow! Jim, we will be seeing you again for sure!

8 Hour Trip – Fall Salmon

Trip of a lifetime!

VERIFIED

Captain Jim was great! Completely prepared, on time, communication was top notch and the best part…he did everything he could to help us catch king salmon…and we did!!! We caught TWELVE when no one else seemed to be catching anything. We couldn’t keep them all because you can’t keep the natives but we still ended up taking home way more salmon than we could eat. My mom and dad both caught over 20lb fish and my husband and I caught around 15lb salmon. Captain Jim made it easy. He has everything set up for you and makes it super easy to just sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Except of course when you hook one, then be prepared to reel until it feels like your arms are gonna fall off! But definitely worth it. What a fun day!

Great First Time Fishing Trip

I wanted to take my son on a fishing trip and he always wanted to see the Great Northwest. I found Jim on FishingBooker and saw the good reviews so I booked a trip. We flew from Mississippi and weren’t disappointed. Jim is a great guy and knows his stuff. It was a fantastic father son trip and if we would book him again without question.

Captain Jim is the best

We had a great fishing trip with Captain Jim Miller! He was right there waiting for us and spent some time priming us for the trip. All of his equipment was ready to go and we got some fish within the first hour. Jim is very good at making you feel comfortable and giving advice in a way that makes you feel respected. He’s also very funny and easy going. From the reactions of other folks on the river, he is obviously well liked as well. You will be happy if you book a trip with him.
