Ready to cast a line in Woodland? Gills and Thrills is here to make it happen! Having logged many hours on rivers, Joshua Mikota, licensed professional fishing guide can tell you all about them. This is not a “charter” in navigable waters; rather an adventure on a jet boat away from large vessels and crowds. You will see wildlife and beautiful scenery while casting lines!
These waters are known for Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. For these species, you’re likely to troll, cast, jig, drift, while using light tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You’re welcome to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your day begins aboard a 16’ 2017 Pro V Fish Hawk jet sled boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered, along with fish processing.
Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the guide. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Gills and Thrills!
