About Your Trip

Attention all fishing enthusiasts! Get ready for an unforgettable experience as you embark on this epic Sturgeon-fishing charter with Captain Bryan. Sturgeon are a prehistoric species unlike all other fish, and are an absolute blast to hook. Although they are typically bottomfeeders, angry Sturgeon are known for powerful runs, big jumps, and length fights!

With Captain Bryan's years of expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, you'll have the opportunity to catch some of the biggest Sturgeon in the Pacific Northwest. He has been a licensed fishing guide in the Pacific Northwest since 1995 and has a vast knowledge of the river, its habitat, and the techniques that work best.

In addition to the great fishing, this trip is also a golden opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of the Columbia River! Watch for eagles, ospreys, otters, and more in the air and on the banks.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to reel in a once-in-a-lifetime fish! Captain Bryan's charters cater to all levels of experience, from beginner to expert, and all ages, making it a perfect family activity. So grab your friends and family, book your charter with Captain Bryan today, and get ready to have the time of your life on the Columbia River!

I remember the first time that bobber went down that I was hooked for life. Growing up in Oregon I have appreciated the outdoors and everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I took my love and passion for fishing and created my guide service.

With over 35 years of experience I have gained the knowledge I needed to be successful for my clients. I love seeing the joy from others when they catch a fish of a lifetime. It's amazing getting to create those lifelong memories with others. I look forward to getting to make a new one with you in the future!

Fantastic trip. I can’t imagine a better guide than Bryan. Smart, experienced, funny and effective. Caught some good fish. I’ll be booking again.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
