Cowlitz River Fishing
Fishing on the Cowlitz is an awesome experience. We fish from our 23 foot Alumaweld Jet Sled. The Cowlitz is the number one Steelhead river in the State of Washington. Summer-run Steelhead start showing in the river around the end of April and keep coming in through August. This is a fast and furious fishery offering 8 - 15 pound Steelhead with the occasional 15 - 20 pounder. When the river is running low we will be fishing from our 17 foot Alumaweld Jet Sled.  
The Fall Chinook and Coho start showing up in the river by the end of August and will continue returning to the Cowlitz through November. We then go back into fishing for Winter-run Steelhead from November through February.
We offer 2-day Washington License on the boat for Anglers from out of State or for first time Anglers.

Spring Chinook Fishing
We are currently booking trips for Spring Chinook fishing on the Columbia River for the months of March and April. As the season moves into late April we will move to either the Cowlitz or Lewis River. This years projected run of Spring Chinook is about 254,100, just shy of what it was two years ago. The average weight of these fish is between 20 - 30 pounds. The groups we take on this fisher go home with big fish tails as a souvenir. When fishing on the Columbia River we will be using the 26 foot open boat made especially for fishing big water. This boat will handle groups up to six comfortably. This is the best tasting Salmon of the year. If you are planning a barbeque this Spring you'll want to bring a coupe of these beauties to your party.
We do have Oregon and Washington License available on the boat.

Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing
The best know Fall Salmon fishery of the Season is also know as the Buoy 10 fishery on the Columbia River. We actually are fishing on the Lower Columbia River just out of Astoria Oregon. During this fishery we will be fishing for Fall Chinook and Coho Salmon. We also offer trips out in the Ocean. This fishery starts in August and runs through September. It is not uncommon to tie into Fall Chinook over 30 pounds, but we are always looking for the 50 + pounders. At the end of the day we will take your catch over to Sturgeon Paul's for Cleaning, he will also vacuum pack your fish and put on ice for your trip home.
We offer 2-day Washington and Oregon license for this fishery.

Sturgeon fishing
Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River is always exciting and full of a lot of catching. You will catch any where from 10 - 20 fish per rod. We will be fishing for Sturgeon from Longview all the way down to Astoria Oregon. We will be using the big 26 foot open boat, which will handle parties up to six very comfortable. This fishery is a great start for kids. The weather this time of year is usually calm, but it is recommended that you always bring rain gear, but also expect the temperatures to get into the 70's. When we fishing out of Astoria we will take your fish over to Sturgeon Paul's, he will clean your fish, and also offer to package your fish for your trip home.
We offer 2-day Washington and Oregon License for this fishery.
