Cascade Fishing Guides offers safe education and participation-centric fishing experiences that cater to all skill levels. We provide boat, electronics, safety gear, rods, reels, tackle and bait for an exciting day chasing Salmon in the lower Columbia River and near shore ocean in Washington including: Ilwaco and Chinook, directly across the river from Astoria, OR.
Our boat is a 2021 North River Seahawk, an all welded aluminum boat designed for fishing with fully enclosed cabin, comfortable seating for 5 and portable toilet. The boat is fully equipped with the latest Garmin electronics including radar, GPS, fish finders, EPIRB, VHF with AIS, autopilot, SIONYX night vision camera, High Performance Scotty Downriggers.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat for those that don’t have one.
We welcome groups, families and kids ages 6 and up.
It’s the PNW so dress appropriately in layers with rain gear.
Bring sunscreen (no sprays!!), sunglasses, hats and cameras.
Bring drinks and snacks, but please refrain from bringing hard alcohol or glass bottles.
The boat is a no smoking vessel and USCG regulations prohibit drugs on board (even marijuana).
I can’t guarantee you’ll catch fish, but will use my experience to give you the best chances of bringing fish home.
You keep what you catch.
Fish cleaning and filleting is included.

5 Hour Trip – PEAK Season Salmon
Enjoyed our trip with Captain Mark! He was great at explaining to us what and why we were doing particular things. He put us on Salmon right away. We caught some of the largest Kings I have ever seen! We plan on fishing with him again.
