About Your Trip

Get out there on the beautiful Columbia River and experience the thrill of fishing one of the best freshwater ecosystems in the Lower 48! This idyllic environment is still home to a major annual salmon run, and you'll be able to target trophy-sized King Salmon, alongside Steelhead and Sturgeon, on this epic trip.

Salmon and Steelhead are both great fighters that will really test your strength, stamina, and skills—so bring your A-game! These fish love to hit fast-moving lures, so you'll use an active fishing style to draw bites.
If you want to target Sturgeon, you can also try bottomfishing techniques to attract these freshwater behemoths. Sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America, and catching and releasing one should be on every angler's bucket list.

Captain Christian is a knowledgeable and experienced guide who will take you to the best spots on the river and provide you with all the necessary gear. His 24' boat is ultra-capable and is fully equipped for river fishing, with a 225 Yamaha outboard and a full suite of additional electronics and gear. As you make your way up the river, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, kingfishers, and more!

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Christian will provide a fun and memorable fishing experience. Don't miss out on this exciting charter fishing trip on the Columbia River!

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable (but if the weather is too bad to go out, you will still receive a credit back to your account).

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

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!

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!
