Out of ALL my fishing trips in the past, this was by far the BEST TRIP EVER.
8 Hour Trip – Summer Steelhead on June 29, 20262 adults

My son and I got up at about 3:00 a.m. We met Captain Jim Miller at the boat dock at 5 a.m. We were ready to go Steelhead fishing!!!! We brought our lunch with us and knew that "Jim" would be supplying everything else. Captain Miller was very welcoming and cheerful, and at the same time he asked us questions to determine our skill levels as it pertained to fishing and more specifically "Drift Fishing". Jim also explained how drift fishing worked and how we should handle the rod and how to react when a Steelhead took the hook. He also ensured that we both had our proper fishing licenses and punch sheets. He then stated we would have a great time (And that we did)!! The few times that we had mishaps such as a line snagging (Breaking) or even putting on a new bait, Jim would hand us another rod (In the ready) to go on fishing without missing a beat!! While we talked with Jim, we found out that he also devoted quite a bit of time each year to help veterans and those in need!! It just so happens that my son is currently in the U.S. Army and has been for 17 years. I had already retired from the Army. This trip was my surprise birthday gift!! We caught our limit within the first 6 hours or so!!! Captain Miller filleted all our fish!! I personally have fished in over 7 states (Including Alaska) and at least 3 countries. We were so impressed with Jim's volunteerism that we gave him some fish to pass on to others in need who were unable to fish anymore. THIS WAS MY BEST TRIP EVER!! Jim is a Great GUY, Great Guide, and of course a great Fisherman!!! I will stay in touch with him and hopefully repeat this trip as well as fish for sturgeon and other species. Thank you Jim!!!!

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Great Trip
8 Hour Trip – Summer Steelhead on May 25, 20262 adults

Jim was great guy and super fun to hang out with. Weve been on several fishing trips where weve felt like the captain was less than excited to take an all female group out but Jim was so pleasant and thoughtful all day. We had rough weather but Jim made the most of our trip. We caught a few small ones and he showed us some beautiful views. If we ever make it back out to the PNW we will be calling Jim again.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Amazing Guide Service❣️
8 Hour Trip – Summer Steelhead on June 15, 20262 adults

Jim Miller is PRO! Safe, Fun, Courteous, funny & most importantly, Jim Miller is a very experienced fisherman! We fished hard, caught 1 BIG Steelhead. The rest of the boats didn’t appear to catch any. Tough day fishing in a consecutive day of 90 degree weather 🥵 🌞. June 15th was a bit too early for this Steelhead Summer Run, but still a successful trip 😎

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

8 Hour Trip – Fall Salmon on August 26, 20252 adults1 child

Captain Jim Miller’s expertise, quality equipment, topnotch fishing skills, and friendly personality made our grandson’s 12 birthday fishing trip a total success. We all had a great time and came home with stories, photos, fishing limits, and beautiful king salmon fillets. Planning the next trip now…

I grew up in the heart of Steelhead and Salmon country in the Pacific Northwest. What started out as a hobby in my younger years has grown into a love of being on the water. I welcome all fishing levels from beginner to seasoned professional. I believe we should all help each other to become better anglers. I'm happy to answer all questions and give you the advice so you can become a better angler on your own.
