Buddy was exceptional! Best in the PNW! His 20 years of experience really showed. He really knows what he is doing and put us on a ton of fish. He limited out the boat with all of our kings and coho for everyone. He’s not afraid to move and find the fish that want to bite. But best of all he made it fun with his great attitude and lots of laughs! Will definitely be fishing with him over and over again!

Travis was super knowledgeable. Got us on fish right away. Having new people on the boat can always be a little hectic but Travis managed to keep everybody fishing and having fun catching fish. I was a last minute call with a friend and Travis had room and I have no regrets! Will definitely book other trips in the future.

If you want to have a fishing excursion with the absolute best guide contact Columbia river fishing adventures! Travis went above and beyond for us! The fish were slow to bite in the morning and Travis did everything he could to find fish! We had 6 people in our party and all of us limited out with big beautiful Salmon! Travis kept us entertained the whole day! Grateful for such a beautiful and fun day! We will definitely be booking more trips thru them!!

Travis was amazing at sticking with it and getting us on some great fish! His personality made the whole trip that much better. If I could leave an 11 out of 10 review I would! Highly recommend one of the most fun I’ve had on a guided trip!

Columbia River Fishing Adventures and Buddy truly are the best in the business!! On top of giving the crew some great laughs throughout the trip, Buddy made sure we all left with some good eatin’. He knows the ins and outs of the river like no one else. Highly recommend booking through Columbia River Fishing Adventures.

When you come across the best of the best it is worth sharing. The expertise at CRFA and experience is unsurpassed. If you are looking for the peak Buoy 10 salmon experience look no further. Not only does Buddy keep you on the fish all day no matter where you are on the river, you have the time of your life doing it! I have been fortunate enough to have gone fish on a handful of guide boats over the years and I can tell you that Buddy’s excitement every time that rod starts dipping is unmatched. What I appreciate the most though is his patience and understanding that we are out there to have fun!

These guys are clutch! Our other charter company canceled on us after we showed up at the dock. The morning of. This family business ran by a father and son, came in and rescued us like a hero in a Superman cape. Their earlier boat had maxed out quickly, they called us, told us to get to the dock in 30 minutes, got us backed out on the water, and we caught seven salmon within a couple hours. The fishing trip went from a black eye, to the best fishing trip of the year thanks to these guys!!

Went fishing on opening day near buoy 10. Didn’t see other boats netting fish but our boat limited on chinook. These guys have done their homework and it shows. 2 of our group had never fished for salmon, they did a great job talking them through how to bring one into the boat. Would book with them again in a heartbeat.
