Full Day Trip – King Salmon on May 5, 2025

Man did we kill it! not only was TJ’s Hospitality Top Notch, but the equipment and knowledge was Grade A stuff. We caught about 30 Steelhead with a few lunkers! TJ kept us on the fish all day and gave us some history and knowledge about the World famous Rogue River. It was My self an avid fisherman and my Girlfriend “very new to fishing”. His instructions and guidance for her was unbelievable and got her on the same page quick! Definitely family friendly and would recommend TJ to anyone experienced or new! Couldn’t recommend this trip enough! 10 out of 10!

T.J. is an experienced captain and knows the section of the Rogue river we fished. Unfortunately, the bite was not on that morning, but T.J. did his best to put us on fish, and we got to experience the beauty of the river and the surrounding area!

I have been fishing all over Southern Oregon since I was five years old becoming a guide has always been a passion of mine, and I finally reached a point in my life where I saw my dream come true, taking people out, catching their first Steelhead or King Salmon is the best thing about my job we are fully sponsored and endorsed with many companies and our goal is to share the beauty of our rivers, lakes and streams and fish with anybody that comes up with us. Safety is always our number one priority so things are always updated yearly with top-of-the-line, fishing equipment, boats, and gear.
