Looking for an unparalleled fishing adventure? Book your next unforgettable outing with James Blair, one of the most experienced and trusted Columbia River fishing guides, and his team at Blair's Sport Fishing. Based in Pasco, WA, James offers expertly led guided fishing trips for three of the Columbia River's most sought-after species: Sturgeon, Walleye, and Salmon. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to break a personal record or a first-timer ready for an exciting introduction to the world of fishing, James and his team ensure that every trip is as rewarding as it is thrilling.


The Columbia River is renowned for its diverse ecosystem, and fishing here is an experience unlike any other. With James as your Columbia River fishing guide, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in exhilarating Columbia River sturgeon fishing, where you could battle giant prehistoric fish weighing hundreds of pounds. Or, opt for the more fast-paced and tactical challenge of Columbia River walleye fishing, a favorite for its delicious fillets. Finally, don’t miss out on Columbia River salmon fishing, where you’ll chase the powerful Chinook and Coho salmon as they make their seasonal runs through these historic waters.


Your adventure will take place on James’ powerful and well-equipped boat, a 24-foot Willies Raptor. Designed specifically for comfort, speed, and functionality, this boat ensures that you’ll be cruising the Columbia River in style. Powered by two 150HP Mercury engines, the Raptor can reach a maximum cruising speed of 38 MPH, allowing you to access the most productive fishing spots with ease. No need to worry about bringing your own gear—James supplies everything you need for a successful outing, including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait (when available).


To ensure you’re fully prepared for your day on the water, just remember to pack a hat, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and wear weather-appropriate clothing. Additionally, bring along your favorite food and drinks, and don’t forget your fishing license. With everything else provided by James and Blair's Sport Fishing, you can focus on what matters—enjoying an incredible day of Columbia River fishing.

James took me and my son out and it was deff a trip we will never forget. He put us on some nice Cohos right of the gate. We caught our limit within a couple hours of being on the water. Then we switched to sturgeon and he put me on the fight of my life with a 8 1/2 ft dinosaur!!! Super friendly captain that knows what he’s doing. I booked another trip with him not even a week later!! See you Sunday James 💪
