Don't miss the boat on this ridiculously scenic fishery. Depending on the season and targeted species, we'll fish the Lower Columbia, Multnomah Falls/Bonneville Dam, or the Klickitat- wherever the fish are!
We'll be fishing out of a 26' Alumaweld Columbia that seats 6 guests very comfortably, so bring your family, bring your friends, bring your dog! Kids are always welcome; we love helping them get hooked on fishing!
All gear and bait are provided. We keep water on board, as well as an ice chest you can use. We are fully USCG licensed and insured and First Aid/CPR certified.
Just bring your fishing license and PNW weather-appropriate clothing, and we'll do the rest. Contact your captain with questions about what license/tag you need, as well as when and where we are fishing.
Now, it's time to hit the water with Big Mike in the Columbia River Gorge!

Chicago, IL, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedCapt. Mike has the touch!
8 Hr – Fall Salmon on September 30, 2025 • 1 adultReally great experience from start to finish. Mike’s knowledge of fishing and the local area are exceptional. He runs the boat with total efficiency—always keeping lines in the water. Most importantly, he knows how to put you on the fish!

Tom French•Santa Rosa, CA, USMember since 20205.0Fishing with Big Mike
on April 24, 2025Fishing with Big Mike was amazing as always. Mike is a phenomenal captain, will get you on fish, has an amazing new boat and is all around a great guy! I've never felt safer on the water and love getting to fish with him and deckhand supreme Stacy! Im so excited for fall fishing and cant wait to get more springer trips on the books for next year. Thank you Mike!
Stephen BiasMember since 20255.0Spring Chinook
on April 15, 2025Mike has top of the line equipment and the know how to utilize it in order to put fish in the boat. He is friendly and knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his passion for fishing with others. He knows the Columbia River as well as anyone out there and knows when and where to fish it. Book a trip, you will not be disappointed.
Randy Clements•Arizona, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedDetermined fishing.
8 Hr – Fall Salmon on September 22, 2025 • 2 adultsIt was a little slow that day thanks to a change in wind direction, but Mike and Stacy kept us going and we caught our limit. All in all it was a great day! Captain and crew were very acomodating and fun. You can't go wrong with this crew.
T LawsonMember since 20255.0Killing gold with Captain Mike
on June 19, 2025Fantastic walleye trip. Captain and crew are about the fishiest people I’ve ever met!!!! Strongly recommend if you like genuine humans and good times
Darrell StefaniMember since 20255.0Been on a few trips with captain Mike..
Early Fall Chinook and Steelhead on August 24, 2024Not one time have we ended the trip without me taking home at least 1 fish. He’s extremely good at what he does, a joy to be around and very informative. Not to mention he has all the amenities anybody needs for a proper guided trip.
Eva Gonzalez Szigriszt•California, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedBig Mike is the real deal!
5 Hr – Fall Salmon on September 24, 2025 • 2 adultsBig Mike (no so big anymore cause he is looking amazing after sheding some unhealthy pounds!) was an AMAZING captain on our first salmon fishing experience! He and his lovely first mate took care of us and taught us the ropes quickly. We both caught king salmon and had an absolute blast! Ate all of it between grilled and cured for sandwiches in our hiking expeditions the following dates. We will definitely repeat :))
Jared Thiemann•Ohio, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Trip with Captain Mike!
8 Hr – Catch & Release Sturgeon on July 19, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I caught and released 16 steelhead in 5 hours! Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable of all types of fishing in the Columbia Gorge. Would definitely recommend for all types of fisherman.
Steve Sands•Minnesota, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat birthday trip!!
5 Hr – Fall Salmon on October 7, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Mike and Stacy were fun, informative and efficient. Even better we all caught fish! Rick was the Coho king, Dan caught Chinook and Coho and Steve’s birthday best fish was a 40.5 lb native King, released to finish his journey. Great weather, good company and we limited out in 3.5 hours on a beautiful afternoon.
