River Dog Outfitters

Give us a call, we'll chat, then hit the river!

Specializing in Trout, Steelhead, and Salmon using Fly Fishing and Conventional Fishing methods. Our guides work with all ages and abilities, we love getting beginners and kids on their first fish!

Below you will see our annual fishing calendar and base pricing. Note that all are subject to change and this is not exact. For instance, the trout fishing doesn’t stop in August on the Skagit, but it’s not our focus that month. If you are interested in another fishery or target species chat with us, we are probably already doing it and just not telling everybody.

Andy was great. He understood the river and helped us with several techniques to get us on fish. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone who wanted to have a great time catching fish on the river.

Niels was a great guide for my wife and I as beginning fishermen. Wish we caught more, but that wasn’t his fault.

We really enjoyed our fishing trip with Neils this morning. He was very knowledgeable, polite, helpful and professional. We would definitely book another trip with him!

Have had two floats with both Neils & Andy. These two are extremely fun to be around especially when trying to learn or get back into style of fishing. They are both chock full of knowledge willing to give out at anytime, as long as you ask. I would Highly recommend either of these two gentlemen for a beginner as well as a veteran as they really let you try whatever you are willing to bring/lose lol. Just tell them what you know and they will try their best to make sure you have the best guided trip you can have.

It's always an amazing time fishing with Neils at river dog outfitters. Met him through a friend and I was lucky I did. I learn so much evevertime i go out. Now I try to go fishing a few times a summer to stock the freezer. Started early this year with some springers. I would highly recommend going on any of their trips. He is super cool, professional, and he has a comfortable well equipped boat. If he isn't catching them, Nobody is.
