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

Steelhead Full Day on January 16, 20261 adult1 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 ❤️🎣💙

Coastal King Salmon- Gold Beach, OR on August 3, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A Truly Unforgettable Experience with a Fellow Veteran-Owned Business My family and I had the absolute pleasure of booking a trip with Gordon’s Generational Guide Service out of Grants Pass, Oregon, for an unforgettable day on the water in Gold Beach. From the moment we met Gordon, it was clear we were in the hands of a seasoned professional who not only knows the waters like the back of his hand but also genuinely cares about creating lasting memories for his guests. As a fellow veteran, I have a deep appreciation for the dedication, discipline, and heart that goes into running a successful business—and Gordon embodies all of that and more. His veteran-owned operation carries a level of pride, integrity, and attention to detail that you just don’t find every day. He made sure every aspect of the trip was seamless, safe, and full of fun for the whole family. The scenery was breathtaking, the fishing was incredible, and the laughter was non-stop. We came home with more than just great catches—we came home with memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Whether it was teaching the kids, sharing stories from his own service, or showing us hidden gems along the river, Gordon went above and beyond to make the day special. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in making your trip remarkable, I can’t recommend Gordon’s Generational Guide Service enough. Thank you, Gordon, for the memories, the camaraderie, and your continued service—both to our country and to every guest lucky enough to spend a day on the water with you.
