Spend the day with Gordon's Generational Guide Service and find out what the fishing in Southern Oregon is all about! Having logged many hours on these rivers, Tyler (Captain Gordo) knows them forwards and back.

These waters are known for world class runs of Salmon and Steelhead– with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

You can expect to do some drift fishing, bobber doggin' or something more specialized for this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks – luckily, Capt. Gordo will have some on board!

Tyler runs both a 17' customized Pavati fishing boat with space to accommodate up to 4 passengers comfortably; and a fully customized Willie Raptor jet boat that will accommodate groups of up to 6. The boats will be prepared ready with all the essentials.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as all necessary saftey equipment. Tyler will coach and teach passengers of all ages and ability. No fishing skills are required.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a fishing license and tags for everyone in your group. This can be completed online, or you can ask the captain for directions on purchasing in-person. Some species are protected and/or require a tag to keep them, we will help you understand what to expect.

You can't go wrong in bringing bottled water, food, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses on warm weather trips OR warm layers, boots and rain gear for inclement weather days. Bottled water will be available. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. On full day trips, there will be hot pizza or cinnamon rolls available via the on-board oven.

Go ahead and treat yourselves to a day on the water with Gordon's Generational Guide Service. #fishinwithgordo

    Absolutely outstanding

    Steelhead Full Day on January 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    As a grandma, there are moments you hope your grandson will remember long after he has grown—and our guided fishing trip with Gordon’s Generational Guide Service is one of those moments for us. From the minute we stepped onto the boat, we knew we were in the best hands. The boat itself was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably equipped with top-notch gear that made us feel safe and well cared for the entire day. The river scenery was absolutely stunning, and seeing my grandsons’ faces light up as he landed gorgeous fish was something I’ll treasure forever. Our guide, Tyler, was nothing short of exceptional. His patience with the Jax was remarkable—calm, encouraging, and genuinely invested in teaching him not just how to fish, but how to understand the river, the fish, and the experience itself. He explained everything in a way that was educational and engaging, never rushed, and always with a smile. Jax learned so much, gained confidence, and felt truly proud of his accomplishments. What stood out most was how this felt like more than just a fishing trip—it was a generational experience. Tyler created an environment where learning, laughter, and memories flowed just as naturally as the river around us. If you’re looking for a guide service that combines expertise, outstanding equipment, breathtaking scenery, and a heartfelt connection to family and tradition, Gordon’s Generational Guide Service is simply unmatched. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better guide. Thank you, Tyler, for giving this grandma and her grandson's memories that will last a lifetime. We just could not be happier ❤️🎣💙

    Nice catch of salmon. Captain Gordon was first class in communication, location management, equipment, guidance and handling, accommodation of our skills and needs, everything! Even hot homemade pizza aboard. A real pleasure getting to know Tyler through every step. Would recommend a trip with Captain Gordon always.

    Captain Tyler was great! He did an excellent job making sure our group felt welcomed. He tried hard to get us to land some fish and even stayed out on the water while most boats were heading in. I will definitely be booking with Captain Tyler again!

    Amazing time on the Rouge with Captain Tyler!

    Steelhead Full Day on February 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    We feel so lucky we were able to fish with this guide! Tyler’s equipment, boat, and service was top notch. The entire day was great from start to finish! We caught some great fish and Tyler kept us rigged and fishing the entire time! My husband caught his biggest trout ever with the best tips and guidance from Tyler. His wife even had pizza ready for us on the boat (warm) and it was so good! Every detail was thought out and he offers guest the BEST experience.

    The Highlight of Our Trip

    Steelhead Full Day on October 14, 2024

    As soon as I learned about Fishin’ with Gordo, I knew my husband would want to go. I reached out to Tyler right away and reserved our spot. Tyler’s communication was excellent from day one. Because we were on a long road trip, I appreciated that. He called the day before to give us our meeting place and time. (This changes day to day depending on how the fishing is) We arrived to find Tyler waiting to take us to our launch spot. We were on the water within minutes of launching and fishing a few minutes later. Tyler’s knowledge of the river and of fishing in general was very impressive. He told us where to cast and he was spot on. We weren’t just fishing, we were catching! Even the little fish were fun to reel in. I felt bad for the other boats on the river as they watched us reel in fish. (I never did see them catch anything when they were nearby) The boat is a work of art. It’s not only sharp looking, it’s comfortable. Having Tyler put us on fish and take care of everything from setting up the poles to netting the fish and placing them in our hands for pictures was awesome. We may need a guide every time we fish from now on. 🤣 Icing on the cake was the heater. It gets cold on the water even on a warm day. And the homemade pizza!!! Who gets warm food on a float boat? Tyler’s clients! I’d highly recommend Fishin’ with Gordo! I hope we can take another trip!

    Full day steelie trip with Tyler

    Steelhead Full Day on April 6, 2024

    2nd time out with Tyler and Gordon's Generational Guide service. What an amazing trip both days. Tyler is extremely knowledgeable about fishing and the local area around the rogue river. He put us on to fish immediately. 3 big steelies within an hour of being in the boat. Both times I have been out with Tyler he has been extremely professional, well prepared and safe. His boat has heaters for those cold mornings, he is well equipped with safety gear and fishing gear. He will keep you fishing all day with spare rigs ready to go if you hit a snag, lose a leader, etc. I highly recommend Tyler and Gordon's Generational Guide service to anyone who is looking to have an amazing day on the river. When booking, please remember there is no guarantee in fishing. Tyler will do his best to put you on fish based upon his previous reports and current weather conditions and so on.
