Experience Washington river fishing with Nevin Steele Outfitters, a Centralia-based guide service built on a lifelong passion for the water. With 25 years of fishing experience, your guide helps guests understand the river, improve their technique, and become more confident anglers. Whether you are pursuing your first fish or another memorable catch, each trip combines hands-on fishing, patient instruction, and an enjoyable day outdoors.

Trips may take place on the Columbia River or Chehalis River, based on the season, river conditions, and opportunities. Target species include Salmon, Steelhead, summer Steelhead, and Trout. Washington's rivers offer diverse fisheries and opportunities to encounter trophy-sized fish throughout the year. Every season brings something different, giving anglers reasons to return.

Fish aboard a heated 18.5-foot Riverwolf drift boat powered by a Yamaha engine. Its practical layout is well suited to navigating productive sections of river. A Lowrance fish finder with ActiveTarget 2 helps locate fish and reveal what is happening below the surface. Quality rods, tackle, bait, and fishing gear are included, so you can arrive ready to fish.

Your guide will select techniques according to the conditions and behavior of the fish. The approach may include pulling plugs, casting plugs, trolling flashers with bait or plastics, float fishing, fishing beads, and twitching jigs. This educational style gives beginners clear guidance while offering experienced anglers local knowledge.

Choose a four-, six-, or eight-hour guided trip. Morning and afternoon departures are available for select durations. Each trip accommodates up to two guests, creating a personal experience with attention and room to fish comfortably. Families and kids are welcome. Some of the guide's favorite moments are watching someone catch their first fish and seeing families create lasting memories together.

Guests meet at Blue Creek Boat Ramp or Barrier Boat Ramp, with the appropriate launch point selected for the trip. Beyond the fishing, the rivers near Centralia feature peaceful banks, wildlife, seasonal colors, and Pacific Northwest scenery that makes the time between bites worthwhile.

Book with Nevin Steele Outfitters for a guided fishing trip centered on river knowledge, reliable equipment, adaptable methods, and a genuine love of helping people fish. Come ready to learn, enjoy the scenery, and pursue Salmon, Steelhead, or Trout on productive Washington waters.
