I offer unforgettable year-round guided fishing trips on Southern Oregon’s most famous salmon and steelhead rivers. As a USCG licensed guide I am lucky to have one of the best jobs in the world, in one of the most scenic destinations. My 15 years of experience as a full time fishing guide, and 250+ days on the water each year, allows me to put my clients in the right spot to have the best day possible of fishing.
We chase after salmon and steelhead on Southern Oregon’s wild and scenic Rogue, Chetco, Umpqua, Elk, Sixes, & Coquille Rivers. These rivers offer breath taking views while having a great chance at catching a fish of a lifetime.
I provide all the top of the line equipment you’ll need to have a safe and successful day on the water. We will fish out of my custom 21′ Willie Predator, or custom 17′ heated Willie Drift Boat depending on the fishery and time of year.
From kids and beginners to experienced anglers alike, I am a trusted choice when deciding who to spend your valuable time on the water with this season.

We guide for both Chinook (Kings) and Coho (Silvers) Salmon. These are the largest fish we chase with clients catching Kings over 30 pounds every year.
Season: May through December
Steelhead are the fish that starts the addiction for most fishermen in the Northwest. They are known for their drag screaming runs, and high flying acrobatics.
Season: July through April
