Join Captain Dillyn on some of the most legendary Salmon and Steelhead rivers southern Oregon has to offer. From long drifts down the river to trolling the estuaries, this area offers the luxury of chasing fish year-round! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned angler you’ll have the trip of a lifetime with views that often feel like a snapshot out of National Geographic. From ancient redwood forests to the quintessential rocky Oregon coastline, there is something for everybody to enjoy.

Dillyn is a seasoned guide with many years of Salmon and Steelhead fishing experience. Some would say it’s in his blood, as his father and grandfather grew up fishing and guiding these same Oregon rivers. You’ll be able to hone in your angling techniques, and locations, and fill the freezer with some of the best fish Oregon can offer.

No matter your age or experience, a fishing trip alongside Dillyn will be an adventure to remember!

Species like Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more are in the cards if conditions are right. You’ll be fishing aboard an 18’ Willie Boats drift boat with room for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. On these trips, you will be drift fishing and back-trolling lures.

Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t hesitate, book your adventure today!
