Since launching in 2024, Captain Peter Doerflinger has shared his lifelong passion—which began at age five—with those looking for premier fishing charters Lincoln City Oregon. Operating a classic 17ft fiberglass drift boat, Peter offers an intimate and focused environment for up to two guests, ensuring that every person on board receives one-on-one attention and professional coaching.

The local waterways are world-renowned for their productivity, and our trips focus on the most productive spots in the region. As one of the dedicated Lincoln City fishing guides, Captain Peter specializes in navigating the unique currents of the area to find the biggest hauls. Whether you are interested in Siletz River fishing or exploring the calm waters of Nestucca River, our trips are designed to showcase the incredible local wildlife and natural beauty of the Oregon coast while putting you right where the fish are biting.

For those chasing the ultimate river prize, our Chinook salmon fishing Siletz River trips are second to none. We utilize a variety of techniques, from light tackle and spinning to heavy tackle and jigging, depending on the water conditions and the season. If you prefer the cooler months, Peter is known as one of the top Winter Steelhead guides the Oregon Coast has to offer. This area is considered a top-five destination for steelhead due to the impressive size and volume of the fish, making every hook-up a highlight of the season.

Beyond the river banks, we offer seasonal Dungeness crabbing trips in Lincoln City, providing a classic Pacific Northwest experience that is as rewarding as it is delicious. All of our outings are family-friendly for guests aged 12 and up, making these trips a perfect way to introduce teenagers to the nuances of baitcasting and the patience required for a successful day of eco-tourism. We pride ourselves on creating a scenic atmosphere where the beauty of the river is just as impressive as the catch itself.

To ensure a smooth start to your journey, please remember that all guests are required to have a valid salmon and steelhead license and tag. Our 1983 drift boat is powered by a reliable Yamaha 8hp 4-stroke engine, ideal for maintaining the steady pace needed for drift fishing.
