The trip was great—we caught Chinook! The captain had a nice boat, quality gear, and came well prepared to work efficiently and keep lines in the water. When a fish was on, he would start barking orders, so he may not be for the thin-skinned who aren’t ready to work, but he does a great job of keeping things from descending into chaos, which I appreciated. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we learned a lot from him. When lines got tangled or a fish was on, he worked quickly and gave... Mehr

We were here for spring break and luckily we still had a few weeks left of the season. We were warned that the season was pretty much over and we may get slim pickings but we were hopeful. Lo and behold not only did we catch crabs, We probably caught over 100 crabs and had to throw even the medium ones back because we kept getting so many monsters. My son was so beyond happy and ecstatic. Wade is a good dude and put my son to work which he loved. Even if you don’t catch anything, the boat is... Mehr

You could tell he genuinely enjoys teaching and wants his clients to have a great experience. If you’re ever in the Portland area and want an unforgettable... Mehr

Captain Wade was fantastic. We booked a trip for half salmon and half sturgeon on march 15. While is was a cold morning and the salmon didn’t bite (there was a big rainstorm 2 days before and murky water, we didn’t expect salmon to bite), captain Wade made sure we got a great experience on the Sturgeon! we caught easily 30 of them and some were too big to get in the boat but worth the long fight! Highly recommend booking with Captain Wade, he is highly knowledgeable about the river, angling,... Mehr

Chaos of a trip that was awesome, insane amount of Salmon.  The family I brought with me wants to go again and to make sure I have Wade if possible be our guide.  Even though we plan to buy a boat ourselves to fish without a guide Wade showed the benefits of having a pro guide on-board.
