Salem area fishing can be hit or miss as Salemites know. But, folks, say yes to Oregon coastal river fishing! And, use Chicken Little! Capt Logan has your back! Trust me, 60-90 minutes back to Salem goes by in a flash when you catch your limit with your kid!

It depends on rain and how many fish enter river during the run. Also if they start to let netting of drag boats it decreases your chance of a big fish. August to first week of September

What a great fishing trip!!!! Our guide Ken Was so knowledgeable and friendly that we Are saving his information for next time we wanna go fishing. He was so knowledgeable about locations and tides and winds and water. I’ve never had such a knowledgeable guide on a fishing trip. We spent about an hour and a half of the five hour tour fishing for salmon with no luck today, but we caught about seven sturgeon with the remaining 3.5 hours. An absolutely beautiful tour and highly highly recommend!!

Jordan was the perfect guide. We had 3 people on board, one who had fished with Jordan several times before, my son who had not experienced a guided trip before and myself who has been on many guided trips. Jordan put us on the fish. We caught 3 beautiful springers and landed 2. We all had a ball. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a great trip.

I've gone out on the big river with Kevin multiple times and every time he is ready and willing to put in the work to catch the fish of choice. Kevin is a good guy with a "go get 'em" attitude. He makes you comfortable, as well as makes you feel safe while you are on his boat, which is huge coming from a non-swimmer. Thanks Kevin!
