If you plan on fishing in Lincoln City, look no further than Keeping It Reel Guide Service. Captain Bryan will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience.
These waters are known for Salmon, Lingcod, Crab, Rockfish, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! For these species, you’re likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Bryan runs a 26’ Alumaweld Columbia fishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
Remember to wear shoes with good traction, and warm clothing in case of inclement weather. You can’t go wrong when you bring your camera, sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Keeping It Reel Guide Service is just a click away.

Half Day Crabbing & Fishing 6 ppl
Bryan was great. The trip started on time and he was flexible with us on the logistics. He was friendly, great with the kids, and charismatic throughout the trip. He helped my son land his first salmon, a 20 pounder - great for July fishing in the Siletz!

We started off the morning with a few bites. The boat was very nice and accessible to get onto. The Captain gave great information and stories throughout the day. We got a good size fish! And already planned our next trip with this charter! Totally recommend!!

Full Day Crabbing & Fishing
We had a great time fishing with Brian, his boat and equipment were top notch, would definitely recommend to others and will be booking again in the future. He worked very diligently to get me and my 9 year old son a spring Chinook Salmon. When we tagged out on the salmon we went crabbing landing a bunch of giant Dungeness crab then focused on steelhead. All in all a very great day on the river

1/2 Day Coho Salmon Siletz River
Bryan was great- he worked hard to make a successful trip. You don’t always catch when you go fishing, but today we reeled in a 16 pound Chinook. The other fisherman on the river were envious of our success. We also had fun pulling up some crab pots and expanding our catch.
