Born and raised in Astoria, OR, I have been chasing Salmon, Sturgeon, and Steelhead on the lower Columbia River since I can remember. Having that local knowledge has proven to catch fish while others are struggling. Guiding has been a dream of mine since high school when I was a bait boy on a charter boat the summer of my senior year. Since then, I told myself one day I'll have my own sled and continue to help people hook into that once-in-a-lifetime 'King' Salmon or the elusive 10' Sturgeon.

    Sturgeon on the Columbia

    Private Fishing Trip5 adults

    Capt. Brock was great about communication. He contacted us well in advance of the trip to make sure we were getting the experience that my family and I wanted. The original plan was to do Ocean side salmon fishing and finish the end of the day on Sturgeon in the Columbia river. Unfortunately as the week unfolded, it became apparent that winds on the ocean were going to be high and the water really rough. Brock offered to cancel if the weather didn't cooperate but he wanted to warn us that people would likely get sea sick if we went out. He offered an alternative with Sturgeon fishing the Columbia. My kids aren't that hardcore about fishing so we skipped the Ocean and hit the river. Brock was very knowledgeable about the area, where the fish would be etc. The boat is clean and well kept. The gear was in great shape. He's friendly and helpful. He is a licensed pilot boat operator for the cargo ships in the river. He runs a safe boat with professional skill. We will definitely plan another trip with him when we make it back to the Oregon coast.

    Awesome day on the Columbia River

    Full Day Trip1 adult

    Brock called the day before because their experience wasn't stellar, but wanted me to know in case I wanted the option to cancel. I know the river changes every day so I said I was game. He was willing. We got out on the water and it was a beautiful day, the opposite of the previous day. There weren't many bites, but we managed to reel in a Chinook salmon. Brock was great and very knowledgable with history of the area and of the fish. I would highly recommend going with Brock.

It was nice getting to know him and he was very knowledgeable. He has been fishing since he was little and knows the ins and outs of the area. Overall very great experince with a friendly guide. Hoping to do it again during salmon season! 10/10 recomend.

    Amazing experience

    Catch and Release Sturgeon2 adults1 child

    While on vacation in the Pacific Northwest I had the opportunity to take my 9 year old son Sturgeon fishing. This has been a bucket list fishing trip for me for years. Brock was amazing and very personable. He made the trip fun and was engaged the entire time. He got us on Sturgeon pretty quick and we cought several. My son is still talking about how it was the best fishing trip ever! Thanks Brock!

What's biting with Brock Johnson’s Guide Service – Portland in Portland

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.
