You're never too young to start fishing for steelhead.

Guide Chris holding up a nice winter steelhead.

This is a typical jet sled. It fishes 4-6 people comfortably. We can also do multi-boat trips for larger groups.

Nancy - the prior owner of Fishing Guides Northwest - and one of my fishing buddies. Hold on Nancy, don't drop that one!

Fall Chinook.

A nice fall Chinook from Tillamook Bay.

Santa came early for two anglers this year. The boat behind them is a drift boat - usually designed to carry the guide and two guests. Drift boats are used for fishing smaller rivers and streams.

A fall Chinook almost as big as the young angler!

A beauty of a keeper sturgeon.

Lady luck prevails with this nice spring Chinook.

Yes, our fall Chinook do get that big ... and bigger!

Limits like this are common when fishing for silvers (Coho Salmon).

A great day for these clients while fishing with our guide Dave.

Some nice Springers caught with guide John.

My good friend Don with a beautiful steelhead while fishing with me on one of our favorite rivers. The fish was released, as were many others that day.

Jeanne - co-owner of Fishing Guides Northwest with her favorite fish, Spring Chinook.

I took dad out on the Willamette one morning and we got these nice Springers in a couple of hours.

Some nice keeper sturgeon from the lower Columbia.

Other than great fishing, the Northwest has some other magnificent treats. We were treated to this sunset while fishing the mouth of the Columbia.

Even though this sturgeon is sub-legal for retention, they are great fun to catch - especially for youngsters like this one.

This is Bruce holding a shad caught during our annual MDA shad derby. Every year we take kids with muscular dystrophy fishing for shad. I think we have as much fun as they do.

My father-in-law helped out during the MDA fishing derby, but after it was over we had to have some action ourselves. Frequently you will catch more than 100 shad per day. They fight well on light tackle.

Guide John B holding a typical fall Chinook from the Tillamook area.

My good friend and tournament fishing teammate Jeff with a big Spring Chinook. This is a nice size one for a springer.

This one would have been the new Washington state record if they would have kept it for weigh-in. The angler decided to let it spawn and to have a replica mold made. Thanks for keeping those genetics in the gene pool! Caught up with our Guide George. If you want a trip with George, book very early. Up to a year in advance.

Guide Dave holding a nice 46 lb. fall Chinook. A nice fish, but they get even bigger.

Guide Dave with a steelhead right at about 20 lbs.

Mark Plummer - owner of Fishing Guides Northwest - with a nice, bright Springer.

Some friends and I had a great day on the Columbia, we landed twelve, but just kept the hatchery fish.

Me again with a beautiful native Springer about to be released. They don't get much brighter than this one.

Guide Steve with a quality small mouth bass from the John Day River. I can't say enough about fishing with Steve, a great guide, a great fishery, and a wonderful shore lunch. Book early for trips with Steve.

Do you get an idea of the fishing to be had when you book a trip with guide Steve?

Another reason to book a trip with Steve.
