I needed to find a fishing trip very last minute. I was told by other guides that we couldn’t really fish for anything, because the rivers were to mirky. I reached out to Captain Wade who suggested we do catch and release sturgeon fishing and he was confident we would catch some. We were a party of two eleven-year old boys, their grandpa with an injured arm and me (Mom). Captain Wade did not disappoint. I think we caught 14 sturgeon and had about another five bite. The boys were THRILLED. We had endless photo opportunities and now I am super cool Mom. Captain Wade was patient and great with the very eager boys. He let my son dissect the bait and eat his last package of chocolate wafer bars. I think he should get extra points. Was a slam dunk and we will be going with Wade again!

Thanks Kara! That was a fun day with you and your whole crew! ‘Hope to see yall again soon!!
Captain Wade had scouted where the fish were just prior to us boarding and brought us right to them. First fish on within 10 minutes, and the pace never slowed. My husband even caught a 9 foot sturgeon!!!
Wade is very knowledgeable, kind and an overall super guide! I’d highly recommend this trip and captain Wade to everyone! We will definitely be returning!

Thanks to you both! It was great fishing with you and I hope to see you again!!
My daughter (11) and I had a wonderful morning on the Columbia with Captain Wade. He had no trouble identifying where to find enormous sturgeons for some catch-and-release fishing that brought us face to face with the biggest freshwater fish we’d ever seen up close, and gave us some great photo opportunities. Wade was also incredibly generous with his knowledge of the river and the wildlife **hidden content** in and around it. It was a great experience for us that we’d definitely do again!

Thanks Egan…it was a fun day with you two… hope to see you again soon.
Captain Wade was excellent. Prior to the trip he was prompt responding to questions about our trip and licensing. He put us on the fish immediately upon stopping the boat..no playing around, no excuses..fish on! It lasted all day non-stop. We were exhausted but so thrilled and happy with the massive sturgeon we caught and the great environment on the boat. He quickly addressed needs and baited hooks. I will absolutely be back to fish with him!
Thanks again Matt!! It was a fun day with you guys. I’m glad the fish cooperated today and the crappy donuts worked! :) see ya next time!!
I cannot say enough good things about this trip. The captain, the boat, the gear everything was in excellent shape and performed as it should. We were on fish immediately. Within 8 minutes of anchoring up we had a sturgeon at the boat. Caught fish all day long (40+, with some well over 100 lbs). Would highly recommend this to anyone!
Thanks again Mitch! … that was definitely a fun day of TugOWar!
