If you're ready to love fishing in Rufus, we've got you covered with Premier Guide Service.

Walleye, Sturgeon, and Salmon are in the cards if conditions are right. On these trips, it's common to troll.

Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take with you. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Talk about bang for your buck!

Premier Guide Service is a kid-friendly charter service, so bring 'em aboard and get the kids hooked while they're young! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Jeff operates a 26' Performance fishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items you'll want to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, a hat, warm clothes, rain gear (recommended), and something to transport your fish home, cooler, or container.

If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask.

OR Salmon Fishing w Captain Jeff
Full Day Salmon Trip on September 24, 20233 adults

From the first confirmation, to pictures and information before our trip, and wildly fun, successful fishing through to a friendly farewell, Jeff F, our captain and guide, did not disappoint. He was hospitable, kind, informative, helpful and fun. Boarded the boat as if catching up with an old friend and left with beautifully cleaned and filleted fish and the hopes of doing this again together next year. Jeff even helped out by keeping us Floridians warm with extra jackets and pants - thank goodness! Outstanding and memorable. Would do it all over again…and again…and again!

This group from Florida might be new to salmon fishing. But, they know how to catch fish!

Capt. Jeff
Full Day Sturgeon Trip on October 21, 20233 adults

We had an amazing day on the Columbia with Jeff. Fishing for sturgeon. He’s a great guy, very knowledgeable and patient. I took my dad and brother on a trip for our birthdays. We pulled in plenty of fish, a few too big to pull into the boat! I highly recommend Capt. Jeff and we will be booking with him again.

Captain Jeff retired from the Army and started Premier Guide Service. He has been licensed since 2015 but he has been fishing his entire life. He loves to guide fishing trips because (besides fishing), they always give the opportunity to meet new people. He participated in several local tournaments for veterans, like Fallen outdoors and Black & Gold.
