Capt Wade was a ton of fun to be around, super dedicated to the craft. (On the water at 1AM just to get the best spot on the river!) and when everyone else was having a no hitter day, he made sure we came away with a dream catch, and some super fun Sturgeon catches when the Salmon quit biting. Go get some beauts with Wade!
Thanks to you both! … it was a fun day fishing with you. Hope to see you again one of these days!
What an amazing trip! Wade was very knowledgeable about the Salmon and their habits. He worked hard to find a location and get us on fish. His boat and equipment were extremely nice. Wade provided everything necessary to get on fish and bring them in. We will most definitely be booking another trip with him!
Thanks again Austin, that was a fun day with some great fishin!!
We went out in June 2023 to the Willamette River. Very friendly, knowledgable captain. Nearly brand new boat with a comfortable ride and clean equipment. We tried fishing for salmon and later sturgeon but unfortunately no luck this trip. Not the captain’s fault, though. The fish weren’t biting, and there were plenty of other boats in the same waters having the same bad luck.
Wade boated by downtown Portland to show us a few sights on the way back as a consolation prize for no fish.

Hey Frank, sorry again that was such a crazy slow day. I talked to about 10 other guides yesterday that had the same experience. They just didn’t show up! Hopefully you had a good time and believe me, no one wanted to see a fish in the boat more than I did!! It is painful for us to fight through a no bite day. Fortunately it doesn’t happen often. Send me a note next time you’re here and if I can add you to another trip, it’s on me.
Everything was great, wEade, the captain was knowledgeable and entertaining. We caught 8 salmon, took home 4 in the boat. He fileted them for us.I highly recommend this boat for anyone looking for a great day on the water.
Thanks Mark! … it was fun fishing with you guys!
Wade put us right on em and we had a great time. Would definitely do it again. We were on the Columbia in early July. Even though the salmon where not biting when we went, wade put us on some sturgeon and we had a blast.
Hey Ryan, thanks again for coming out. Hope to see you and your crew again!
