Captain
Kelly Painter

Member since May 2022 Newport, United States
Background
I was born in Kodiak, AK. I grew up in a commercial fishing family and worked on boats from an early age. I worked on different boats for the family business and in my twenties became a captain. I love what I do and my goal is to create memorable moments for customers who allow me to share the joy with them. Catching a Salmon or Steelhead in one of Oregon’s beautiful rivers or bays is an experience you can only dream of.
Techniques
The hands-on method is my #1 pick, of course, when appropriate. I do a lot of bobber fishing in the tidewater and in the river, as well as back-bouncing in the river.

We had a great time with Kelly on the Siletz River! A slow day of fishing, but still a successful day! We are looking forward...
