Welcome to Chasin' Tails Guide Service, your trusted Rogue River fishing guide based in Gold Beach, Oregon. Owned and operated by Josh Terry, who has more than 20 years of guiding experience, Chasin' Tails Guide Service specializes in guided fishing trips for salmon, steelhead, trout, rockfish, and lingcod across some of Southern Oregon's most productive waters.

Josh has dreamed of becoming a fishing guide since he was six years old and has spent decades learning the Rogue River and surrounding fisheries. Today, he guides anglers of all experience levels on the Rogue River, Umpqua River, Elk River, Sixes River, Chetco River, Smith River, and other nearby waterways. His extensive local knowledge and limited special use permits for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest provide access to exceptional fishing locations that few guides can offer.

Choose from full-day drift boat trips, full-day power boat trips, or half-day fishing adventures designed to match your schedule and fishing goals. Whether you're looking to catch Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, steelhead, trout, rockfish, or lingcod, every trip is customized to current conditions using proven techniques including drift fishing, trolling, float fishing, fly fishing, jigging, conventional fishing, bait tackle, spin fishing, back trolling, and deep sea bottom fishing.

You'll fish aboard a 23-foot Willie Predator powered by a 225 HP Mercury engine or one of Josh's 17-foot Willie drift boats, depending on the season and river conditions. Premium Chrome Seeker Custom Rods and Shimano reels are provided, along with fish cleaning at the end of your trip.

Beginners, families, experienced anglers, and small groups are all welcome. Josh enjoys introducing first-time anglers to fishing just as much as helping seasoned fishermen pursue their next memorable catch.

Guests should bring an Oregon Fishing License with a Salmon/Steelhead Tag, weather-appropriate clothing, food, drinks, and a cooler for their catch. Safety is always a priority, and Josh is a licensed US Coast Guard Master, an insured Oregon Fishing Guide, and a registered Oregon Hunting Guide.
