Heng-On Fishing specializes in Salmon and Sturgeon fishing. The main rivers you'll have the chance to explore are the Columbia River (Buoy 10-The Dalles), Willamette River (Portland-Salem), and The Pacific Ocean in Northwest Oregon. Captain Nathan Heng will guide you and make sure you have a successful trip. He's certified with an OUPV six-pack inland/near coastal license and a clean, well-organized, and professional fishing guide. All skill levels are welcome to join in!

You'll fish from a comfortable 23' Alumaweld aluminum fishing boat that accommodates up to 6 passengers. It uses twin 150 HP Mercury engine as well as modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology in order to quickly and safely reach the fish. It's also equipped with a wireless trolling motor and features a livewell.

You and the captain will have a great time chasing Chinook and Coho Salmon as well as Sturgeon using many different ways. You can bottom fish, troll, spin, jig, and drift fish, on both light and heavy tackle. If you want, you're free to keep the fish you catch.

Before you depart, just make sure you've packed your snacks, drinks, and fishing licenses. Captain Nathan provides all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Also, he can clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost.

Columbia River spring Chinook
Full Day Trip – Chinook on April 12, 2026

Had a great time on our Columbia River spring Chinook trip with Captain Nate. His knowledge of the river really shows, and he had us in the right spots all day. The gear was top quality, and you can tell he takes pride in running a professional operation. He worked hard to make sure everyone had a chance, and we all ended up landing fish. Super friendly guy with a great crew—made the whole experience fun and easy. Highly recommend booking a trip with him.

Chinook Salmon

Full Day Trip – Chinook on September 23, 2023

We booked two back to back fishing days with Nate. Day 1 we limited out in 2 hours and day 2 we we limited out by lunch time. Nate knows what he’s doing and got us on fish immediately both days. He’s great help to guys that are inexperienced and is there to get everyone on fish. We will be booking our trips with him going forward.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon

Captain Nathan has lived in Oregon for all of his life and has been fishing since he was a young child. He has always loved and respected the outdoors. With this passion, the captain has grown and learned how to find and catch fish. He specializes in Chinook, Coho, and Sturgeon fishing. Most of his time is focused on the Columbia River, Willamette River, and the Pacific Ocean off of the NW Oregon Coast. The amount of time and experience on the water that Captain Nathan accumulated over the years makes him feel confident enough to share it with you and be your fishing guide.
