About Your Trip

If the fish are biting, Captain Wade will be fightin' 'em on this full-day fishing adventure! And if the fish aren't biting, Captain Wade will change locations, baits, and tactics until they do. He's a real professional and always does everything he can to put his clients on massive King and Coho Salmon! You'll be fishing at the mouth of the great Columbia River, where hundreds of thousands of these famous sea-run fish come to breed every year.

You'll hunt these fish using a variety of baits and lures on trolling gear. All of the Salmonids—the family that includes Salmon, Trout, and Steelhead—love to hit fast-moving targets, and when one of these fish takes the hook, you'll feel it! Both species have fast runs and big jumps, so these fights are nothing short of spectacular! After you pull in a monster, you can store it in the icebox so it stays fresh during the remainder of your voyage.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Wade's 23' Willie, a no-nonsense boat that's built for river fishing, with a maneuverable hull design and a 250-HP Yamaha engine to keep you moving all day. She's kitted out with gear to enhance your fishing and help you fill your cooler, including GPS, fishfinder, and more!

My Dad and Grandpa got me hooked on this life when I was about 6 years old. I've been fishing the Northwest rivers and ocean ever since! I love sharing my experience, stories, and excitement with all of my clients. My favorite thing is probably seeing the smile on a client's face when they hook into their first big fish... and there is nothing better than hearing a kid say... "got one!"

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!
