    Captain Doug is the best!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captain Doug is an awesome guy, never a dull moment on his boat! He put us on fish almost immediately, we caught 4 chinook in a short morning trip. He knows his stuff! This is a great trip for beginners or seasoned fisherman. Doug is the best captain in the area. If you plan on booking with him, don’t be afraid of rain or could weather, his boat has a great cab fhat keeps the wind and dain away! I definitely recommend booking with him for your next fishing trip.

    Amazing experience!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing day on the water! Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and put us on lots of great fish. He know exactly where to go, and was patient and made sure we all had a great experience. If you’re looking for a fun and successful fishing trip, we highly recommend booking with him. We will definitely come back.

    Salty Doug makes for the BEST day of fishing!!

    Full Day Trip

    If you’re looking for a great day on the water. Doug is your guy. Even if we wouldn’t have caught fish (we caught a bunch) it would’ve been a great day. Doug is personable and knows his fishing. Doug thank you for a memory that our family will never forget, hope that you will continue to make memories for many other people out there.
