Fishing with Captain Ken was a great way to celebrate my brotherโs 75th birthday. Spending 6+ hours on the Willamette River trolling for those elusive salmon made for a very good day. Kenโs knowledge of the rivers, tides, fish behaviors, current reports, gear, lures, baits, etc, etc, all gave us the confidence that if there were fish to be caught, weโd have caught them. Unfortunately, the fish eluded us all day. Disappointed? Sure, we had to get an alternate option for dinner, but that was the standard for virtually all of the other charters that day. Kenโs charter had the vessel and gear needed for the day, he provided everything we needed to fish well (including the gear and step-by-step instructions), and we all left more knowledgeable after spending the day with him.

Thank you again for sharing the Birthday trip. Great time on the water. The fish will participate more next trip! Hope to see you September.
Captain Ken was extremely knowledgeable and led us on an outstanding Sturgeon trip. Fishing up and down the Willamette River near Portland, we caught several big fish, including one 79โ monster. Great trip - highly recommended!
Thank you again for fishing today. That was an awesome fish!! Very nice meeting you both. Take care!
Captain Burns was sensational! Communicated throughout the days leading up to the trip and answered every question we had before booking. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He put us right on the fish and even though the bite was fair, the conversation between casts and reeling was incredible. I would absolutely recommend any trip with Captain Burns!
Thank you! I appreciate the opportunity to take all of you out on the lake. Fun day of fishing and conversation.ย Take care!
What a great fishing trip!!!! Our guide Ken Was so knowledgeable and friendly that we Are saving his information for next time we wanna go fishing. He was so knowledgeable about locations and tides and winds and water. Iโve never had such a knowledgeable guide on a fishing trip. We spent about an hour and a half of the five hour tour fishing for salmon with no luck today, but we caught about seven sturgeon with the remaining 3.5 hours. An absolutely beautiful tour and highly highly recommend!!
Thank you! That was a lot of fun.ย Hope to see you again.ย Take care!
Will absolutely be booking with Ken in the future! Slow day for fish, but we knew that going in. Besides that, we could not have asked for a better day. Capt Ken is a great guy, and if there were fish in the river today then I know he would have put us on them. (NO boats caught anything today.) Canโt wait to try again!
It was really great to meet you both.ย Looking forward to getting you guys out on another trip.ย Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Donโt forget. (Silent Rock)ย Stay Safe!
