Full Day Trip - Salmon Trolling on October 6, 2025 • 1 adultCooper was great and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested in fishing. Real nice guy and respectful. I would definitely go fishing with him again. Thank you Cooper
Tyson CurtisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSuccessful late Fall Chinook fishing
Full Day Trip - Salmon Drifting on December 8, 2024 • 1 adultCooper is a very knowledgeable guide who put me on the tail end of the late Fall Chinook run. In spite of this, we were still able to find some healthy fish with some chrome to them and they fought harder than any salmon I've ever caught. I definitely look forward to fishing with Cooper for future trips.

Full Day Trip - Salmon Trolling on October 9, 2020 • 2 adultsIndigenous Adventures is a first class guide service, and Cooper Hedgecock is a true professional, who possesses a tremendous amount of knowledge about every kind of fishing you can imagine in Oregon and Alaska. What a fantastic experience fishing on the Coos River. Cooper's boat is emaculate and the fishing gear provided is top notch. I can't recommend this experience enough.
