    Catch of the day - 1 Steelhead

    Full Day Trip – Steelhead & salmon • 2 adults

    We had an incredible day floating the river steelhead fishing with Captain Brandon. This trip meant a lot to us—my dad and I have talked about doing this for nearly 10 years, and we finally made it happen. My dad recently had a stroke that left him partially blind, but he was determined to go. I shared this with Captain Brandon ahead of time, and he truly took it to heart. He made sure my dad was comfortable all day, helped with casting, gave clear direction, and went the extra mile to make sure my dad could fully enjoy the experience. It was a beautiful day on the river. Fishing was tough overall—there were at least 10 other boats out, and outside of us only one other boat landed a fish. We only caught one steelhead, but that one fish meant everything. My 78-year-old dad was the one who caught it, fought it, and reeled it in himself. After his recent stroke, that moment is something I’ll never forget. Thank you, Captain Brandon, for your patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. You helped create a memory that my dad and I will cherish forever.

    Best fishing trip ever!

    Full Day Trip – Steelhead & salmon • 2 adults

    We had an absolute blast, Brandon is amazing! He provided the best time on the River, we weren’t sure what to expect and Brandon blew us away! We spent the day learning, laughing, reeling in fish, and creating the sweetest memories while celebrating our anniversary. We wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate any other way, and cannot wait to book another trip with Brandon! Thank you for the best time!!

    Exillerating - changed my view about Oregon

    Full Day Trip – Steelhead & salmon • 2 adults

    This trip was amazing! my son and I had a last minute cancelltion and thought we would give it a go. Brandon was excellent at communicating and teaching us the Oregon river techniques. my son is 14 likes to fish but never on the clackmas He learned a bunch from Brandon. we even fished in the rain until we decided we were ready to cut out He was enthusiastic and a great conversationalist. if you ever get the chance grab up his outings. He is a good olé Oregon boy! Thanks Brandon

    They had a great day!

    Full Day Trip – Steelhead & salmon • 2 adults

    I bought this trip as a gift for my husband and son. They had a great day, both caught beautiful steelheads. Husband especially loved how patient Brandon was with him since it had been a minute since he fished. He loved not needing to bring all the gear, etc and appreciated the expert help Brandon provided. I'm trilled that I got to give two men I love a special day together.

    Response from Captain

    thank you. we had a blast! hope to see them again

    Outstanding!

    Full Day Trip – Steelhead & salmon • 3 adults

    We were brand new to the art of fishing for steelhead. Brandon taught us everything we needed to know and was tremendously patient with us as we navigated a steep learning curve in accurate casting (by the end we were pretty damn good!). That included the multiple snags that he had to take care of. This guy is a gem!

    Response from Captain

    thank you. looking forward to next time
