Make the most of your time on Tillamook and Columbia Rivers and go fishing with Drift Northwest Fishing. Captain Dustin will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from his years of sportfishing experience.
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. You'll target your catch by trolling. Capt. Dustin uses a variety of methods to catch these hard-fighting, tasty fish.
Your vessel for the day is a 28' Aluminum Willie fishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has a fighting chair, as well as all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Bait is available for use.
Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license with Combined Angling Tag for everyone in your group. This information is available online. **hidden content** Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water and a lunch.
Your trip with Drift Northwest Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Wow what a day! First time out for buoy 10 and let’s just say we’re hooked! We met Dustin at the boat ramp, very early, he made sure we secured our fishing licenses, we got into rain gear and off we went! Dustin had bibs, jackets and life vests for all of us. He was very patient teaching and explaining how to use the reel, what a bite looked like, and what a tangle looked like. My friends and I have never been fishing. He explained the differences between hatchery and wild, coho and chinook. It was a great day, we even limited! We highly recommend Drift NorthWest Fishing and will certainly be back for more fishing adventures.
