Captain TJ is a skilled and professional fisherman! Highly recommend

May 28, 2025

Fishing the Rogue River with TJ was a great experience! I hooked a monster native steelhead that was a fierce fight to land, within the first 15 minutes of our trip. I was happy to release that old man and what a terrific experience! We brought home a very nice steelhead that TJ expertly filleted for us. Two others hooked but got away. The Rogue is such a beautiful river and TJ really knows his way through it. We can’t wait to book our next trip! Go with Cornelison Fishing, we highly recommend it!

Had a fantastic day fishing with him! TJ REALLY knows the river, the fish, and how to get at them! He coached on where to cast, how to present the bait, when to expect a bite, etc. This guy is a pro!! And great customer service too!! I will absolutely be booking with him again!! 5/5 stars!
