    Incredible way to experience the Pacific Northwest

    Full Day Trip – Salmon • 6 adults • 3 children

    We took out a very inexperienced group of fishermen—two first-timers and three boys under 13—and they absolutely battled through the ever-present cool marine layer to land our bag limit of coho and Chinook salmon! Every kid on board had the opportunity to hook into one of these beautiful, powerful fish, making for an unforgettable day on the water. 🎣 Capt. Corey kept us right on the fish, and we were able to wrap up the day by 11 AM with a full cooler and some very happy fishermen. Capt. Corey was fantastic with our group of three boys and the entire crew. His patience, knowledge, and ability to keep us on the fish made for an incredible experience. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    Yet another fun trip!

    Fall King Salmon • 2 adults

    Cory is always a pleasure to go with. My grandson is autistic and Cory does a great job of helping him out. Always a pleasure to go with. We only caught 1 fish but, Cory made up for it in his determination to get us on fish. Fish were there, just not biting. We will be back again!

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon

    Bonked some walleye!

    6 hour Trip – Walleye • 2 adults

    Great day on rhe water with Captain Corey! Weather tried to spoil our plans and Corey was transparent about our options and gave plenty of notice before leaving so we could come up a plan together. we still got out there and bonked a bunch of Walleye (which is deicious). It was our first guided trip and first time fishing for walleye and he made it all easy to figure out and kept our rods in the water.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

By now, the fall Salmon are making their way to Portland, joining the last of the summer Steelhead. Many guides will follow them back home to fish the local rivers through winter.
