Georgia, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Experience for Kids Birthday
Half Day Trip – Private (PM) • 5 adults • 3 childrenBooked this trip for my twins' 16th birthday and it delivered. We landed 4 fish and had at least 12 opportunities with fish on the line, so the action never stopped. Our guide was great, kept all three kids engaged and put us right on the fish. Even our 6 year old, Harper, stayed dialed in the whole time. Everyone had a blast and they're already asking to go again. Easy recommendation for families.

Half Day Trip – Private (AM) • 4 adultsOur guide was very knowledgeable, had a fishfinder, and took us out on the Columbia. Unfortunately, it was a very hot day and not really a good day for salmon. We enjoyed the trip on the boat ride; when you go on a river fishing trip, you’re never guaranteed, uh but we had a great time.

Full Day Trip – Private • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe had an amazing experience with Desmond! He was incredibly patient with our three kids, including our four-year-old, and made the whole trip fun and stress-free. His equipment was top-notch, and he took the time to explain everything in a way the kids could understand. He guided us through the process and worked hard to help us find and catch fish — even on a day when most others weren’t coming back with anything. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for a great day on the water!

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.
