Our excursions are designed to fit your schedule, offering both half day / full day options throughout the year. Depending on the season, you can target hard-hitting Salmon, experience the prehistoric power of Sturgeon catch-and-release, or head out for Crabbing between October and January. From the vast reaches of the Columbia River and the Willamette River to the salty swells of the Pacific Ocean, the sheer abundance of fish in this region makes every trip potentially legendary. You might even witness rare sights like whales breaking the surface, adding an extra layer of magic to your journey.
