More than just chasing fish
Most believe a fishing guides essential job is to put their guests on the fish. We don’t disagree, but believe it goes deeper than that. No one can guarantee the fish will bite (it’s called fishing not catching, right?) but we can guarantee our passion for the river will rub off on you and have long lasting effects!
A guided trip is an all inclusive ride down the river in pursuit of fish. We provide all necessary gear and instruction, all you need is a Washington Freshwater Fishing License and a good attitude!
Trips can be customized to your desires and needs. Want a shorter or longer day on the water? Talk to us! Want to bring more than three anglers in one boat? Talk to us! We’ll try to make it all happen.
