One of the best guides in the Pacific NW

Full Day Trip

My son and I have been out with Mike several times now. Not sure if epic trip would be complimentary enough. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a true steward of the river and surrounding ecosystems. You'll learn something from Mike and have a great time even if the fish aren't biting. Highly Recommended!

Thanks man! It was a memorable day watching Sam catch his first steelhead. He’s a pretty fishy kid! I’m so glad I can provide you an avenue to create such awesome father-son memories together. Hope to be out catching ‘em again soon!!

    Hazen Guiding Service Review

    Full Day Trip • 5 adults

    We’ve been on two guided trips with Hazen Guiding Service out on the Columbia this year, one for sturgeon and one for salmon. Both days Mike did not disappoint! We hooked lots of fish each time and had a great time doing so. Mike is super knowledgeable, personable & passionate as well as equipped with a nice sturdy set up and we ended each day on a high. He’s got a great attitude, knows what he’s doing and happy to be out there like the rest of us. Whether you’re a first timer or seasoned on the water, I would definitely recommend Hazen Guiding Service and having Mike take you out.

    Sturgeon fishing with Mike

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    Mike was an awesome guide to go fishing with, he’s very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work. We caught a total of 15 sturgeon and the trip was such a great experience. Especially if you go out with family. This was our first family trip and Mike made sure we got to catch some big fish and also let us take some awesome pictures with them. I would 100% recommend anyone who is looking to take their family for a fishing trip to go with Mike. We had six people go out and since we were the first trip to go out on the water with it was very cool to experience it with Mike.

    Full Day Trip fishing Coho with Mike

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    We booked a trip with Mike to celebrate a couple birthdays and wedding anniversaries at the end of July 2019. We had an amazing time fishing for Coho salmon. We were stoked to have a nice enough day to cross the Columbia River bar and be on the ocean. His boat and equipment were top notch. Mike's enthusiasm, professionalism, communication (before, during, and after the trip), and persistence to put us on fish were stellar! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mike was organized, knowledgeable about the fisheries, funny, and dialed in. We loved his passion for fishing and helping people create lasting memories. We will DEFINITELY be back to fish with him again!!!!

    Thank you for your generous review Caitlin. We can’t wait to fish with you guys again!!

    we had 2 full days with Mike

    Full Day Trip • 5 adults

    Mike found us lots of sturgeon to catch. We had 5 guests in the boat, and we all caught several fish. Great fun!!! Mike is a great guy to hang out on the river with, and catch fish. All his equipment was in good repair, and he even ordered up some great weather!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Ann, for your generous feedback. Epic couple of days fishing for sure! I really enjoyed spending time with you all. Hopefully we'll see you again soon! - Mike
