My angling crew and I have been fishing with guide Bill Gaither/NW Hawghunters for 16 years now.  I have been on his boat over 30 times.  He is a hell of a fisherman who knows salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon as well as any guide on the water.  He is one of the good guys being both respectful and honest.  He is also pretty funny with a great sense of humor.  And there is no sugarcoating of the expected outcome of his trips, in other words he tells it like it is without any B.S.  I recommend...

I have been fishing with Bill for several years.  He has taught me how to put more fish in my own boat which is priceless!  He custom paints his lures so your not fishing with standard ones.  I’ve seen him time after time figure out what the fish want that day and the result is everyone going home with fish.  If your looking to improve your fishing skills or just wanting a fun fishing trip, Bill is the only guide you will need.  His services are just AMAZING.

We go out about 10 times a year with Bill .Everyone that I refer to him says the same thing Bill catches fish time after time he is so picky about the little things that adds up to catching fish...

From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear Bill was incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and where the bite was at. The boat was clean, the gear was top-tier, and he worked tirelessly to put us on fish. Not only did we catch our limit of salmon, but he also made the day incredibly fun and educational. He even fillet all of our... Altro

Ran with NW Hawghunters last fall below Bonneville and flat out hammered salmon. Bill knows that stretch of water inside and out and stays on the fish. No wasted time, no guessing — just straight to the zone and rods getting buried. The bite was solid, and when those kings started peeling line, it was game on. Nothing beats fighting big Columbia River salmon in that current. Gear was dialed, boat was clean, Bill worked nonstop to keep us in the action. If you’re serious about... Altro
