Background
My wife actually pushed me to do it because it is all I ever talk about. It was one of the best decisions of my life and I love what I do! Being outdoors and helping people catch fish is the best.
Techniques
Slow trolling the Columbia River for Spring and Fall Chinook. Herring/Anchovies or spinners.
