Whether you’ve never been fishing before, you’re looking to land your first Chinook, chase your 100th Coho or just enjoy a day on the water while an expert fishing guide takes care of the details and the rest of the world fades away, I look forward to hosting you!
Astoria, the Columbia River, and nearby ocean offer world class fishing opportunities. Whether your goal is catch and cook or catch and release, you’ll always bring home a story to share.
If you want to chase Chinook, spring or fall run is the only question you need to ask. These big, powerful fish give you something to write home about every time.
When it comes to Coho, these chrome beauties offer fast action whether in the Ocean or the river.
If Salmon isn't your thing or the time of year isn't quite right you can catch and release giant Sturgeon in the shallows or jig for bottom fish in the deep. In the late fall, the Dungeness Crab take center stage..
It's always wise to dress for the weather and I can help you out, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and bottled water are a must for most trips.
It's time to start wandering.

Lingcod & Rockfish Shared
We had a great time on the trip. The captain was honest with us about the conditions on the ocean and proposed an alternate option of fishing for sturgeon on the river. We ended up catching quite a few big fish. Would book with Jerad again.

I have been on a few trips with River Wanderer. Jerad has always put me on fish. We have been Salmon fishing on the Columbia and in the ocean. We have been bottom fishing for Lingcod and Rockfish. It has always been a good experience.
