Great location and great captain
8 Hour Trip – Spring Chinook Salmon on June 24, 20262 adults

Shawn was a geat captain who spent the whole day working hard, putting me and my son on fish at every hole. His command of he boat was superb and the few stretches of turbulent water were navigated wit ease. Most importantly, both me and my son were new to drift boat fihing and bounce casting and Sawn was exceptionally patient with us as we learned the technique. Pulling in a nice 15lbs chinook was the cherry on top of a wonderful day fishing one of the most beautiful rivers in Oregon.

Fishing with Shawn
8 Hour Trip – Spring Chinook Salmon on July 12, 20252 adults

Our fishing guide Issac was very knowledgeable, personable and was a great guide. He knew all the good spots and how to setup the lines. Both my friend and I were able to land 3 salmon all together. Had a lot of fun and will be back again with this fishing guide again.
