Todd Stoneking, Guide at JT's NW Guide Service

Experience the pinnacle of Pacific Northwest angling with JT’s NW Guide Service, led by the expert hand of Todd Stoneking. Specializing in Oregon guided fishing trips, Todd brings a unique blend of passion and patience to every outing on the water. Whether you are navigating the scenic stretches of the Willamette River or seeking the best salmon fishing guide on the Columbia River, Oregon, JT’s NW Guide Service offers an authentic adventure tailored to your needs. Founded on a legacy of love and a deep connection to the sport, Todd’s mission is to ensure every guest enjoys the thrill of the catch in a relaxed, professional environment.


As a premier Columbia River fishing guide, Todd understands that the best memories are made when everything is taken care of. That is why these guided trips are fully comprehensive, with all gear included—from high-quality rods and reels to the most effective bait for the season. You will step aboard a state-of-the-art 28-foot Nemesis, powered by twin Yamaha 250 engines, providing a safe, stable, and fast ride to the hottest fishing spots. With a maximum capacity of eight passengers and speeds reaching 46mph, we ensure you spend less time traveling and more time with your line in the water.


We pride ourselves on being a family friendly and beginner friendly service. Todd’s legendary patience sets him apart; he believes that mistakes are just part of the learning process and never raises his voice, ensuring a stress-free day for novices and children alike. For those seeking a more intimate experience, Todd acts as your private fishing guide, focusing entirely on your group’s success and comfort. Whether it is your first time holding a rod or you are a seasoned pro, our goal is for you to have a great time regardless of the conditions.


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.


Come join us and see why the Pacific Northwest is considered a world-class fishing destination.
