Barry was an awesome guide. I learned a ton about river fishing from him. He also was great with my 9 year old boy who didn’t show a ton of interest and confidence. Barry stepped in with the perfect balance of encouragement and patience with teaching him how to cast and reel. I loved how we moved down the river and Barry showed different techniques/bait/lures depending on conditions, pools, shallow water, under brush, against rocks, etc. Even though we got skunked, I LOVED my day of fishing with Barry and my son. I plan on going back and booking with Barry for a different salmon run/season in the near future. Thank you, Barry!

Captain Barry was an absolutely amazing guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go out of his way to help us enjoy the day as much as we could. He was easy to talk to and had many stories to tell. Also knows everything there is to know about fishing from seasons certain species bite to every single hole that was fishable along the river. He also brought water/drinks for us. Highly recommend fishing with Captain Barry!

Took my 78 yo dad on a fishing trip to bond and try to catch fish. Captain was knowledgeable and helpful with casting tips and strategy. Two got away this time. Also, beautiful surroundings with bald eagles and waterfalls. Great time despite not bringing fish home.

We loved Barry! He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Will definitely use him as our guide again! Also, saw 3 bald eagles while on the river!

What a blast!  Barry is a Fishing Guru and knows the Sandy River like the back of his hand. He was able to guide me to landing my first ever King Salmon — what a gnarly fight this thing put up! I highly recommend Barry if you are in the Portland area and interested in having a wonderful time on the water.
