    Phill is part surgeon, and all angler with a great attitude.

    Always fully aware of the water and in tune to the bite at all times.

    Every adjustment made was immediately productive and safe.

    Maintained a sense of urgency while keeping everyone on board safe at all times.

    Provided clear and concise strategies fully backed by individual directives.

    Simply the best charter experience I have ever had. Anywhere.

    Not to mention reaching the full charter limit well before noon.

    Thanks Phill! See you again soon!

    Dave did an incredible job putting us on the fish. You can tell he's an expert at his craft, knows the waters, baits, and techniques needed to catch fish in the Columbia River. Wether you want numbers of fish or a fish of a lifetime he can put you on both. We caught almost 40 sturgeon between 3-5 feet day 1 and caught a 10 foot 500lb+ sturgeon and a 8 foot sturgeon day 2 all before noon. Incredible trip and memories.

    Matt is a top notch guide. Professional, polite, knowledgeable, and genuine. What else could you ask for in a guide! Had a great day waterfowling with Matt. A master of the trade!

    Our experience with Kevin was fantastic. We booked the trip for our 10 year old son and he couldn't have had a more fun adventure! Kevin was patient, full of a wealth of knowledge in regards to fishing and provided a very enjoyable excursion. While every catch that day was a native, the passengers were able to reel some giants in! We left with a very happy son and a cooler full of fresh crabs for dinner. Definitely looking forward to a return visit in September and hopefully bringing some fish home, too!

    I can't thank Ben Parker enough for the fun and successful fishing trip my husband and five of his family and friends enjoyed on my husband's birthday. The guys are still talking about their "Boys Day Out" and how much fun they had, especially when they were able to BBQ the salmon they caught that afternoon. It was delicious! I'm sure the sea lions wish they would have caught those. I was surprised that the men brought the fish home already cleaned and filleted (Thank you!). I highly recommend Ben Parker for his professionalism, comfortable boat, top of the line gear and relaxed atmosphere. He was a pleasure to deal with.

    What an incredible day we had on the water with Bryan! He was professional, knowledgeable, and so patient with us! We caught fish and had a blast doing it! We will definitely be back! Bryan made everything easy, and he communicated all that we’d need to bring with us for a successful day on the water. Great experience, we’d recommend Take Down Guide Service to anyone and everyone!!

    A Lance Fisher Fishing gift certificate was provided for Xmas for my girlfriend and I. We fish often but don’t have the means to fish the big rivers like the Willamette or Columbia. So along with another friend we went spring salmon fishing just in time for the water to clear up. 1st off, Shannon is amazing. She handled all the booking, billing and many questions I asked her before we got on the boat. She replied fast to any emails, calls and texts and was super friendly doing it. On the boat our guide Evan was friendly, very knowledgeable and did everything in his power to get fish in the boat. We caught fish, got a tan and had a good time seeing Milwaukie to St. Johns from the river. Lots of guides out there to choose from. I’d recommend Lance Fisher Fishing to anyone looking for a smooth experience in customer service and exceptional knowledge for catching fish.

    Best sturgeon guide out there! I don’t know a single guide who catches more fish over 8 feet than him. Extremely knowledgeable and knows his area. Also super nice and just fun to be around. There’s simply no one that tries harder to catch clients fish than BrokenBack Sturgeon fishing. If you’re looking to catch the biggest fish of your life, look no further.

    We had a great experience fishing with Dan. It was my 9 year old son’s first time and he had a blast. Dan was very kid friendly. It was also my first time fishing in Oregon and he was great at helping arrange the logistics of what I need and where to go. Dan was very entertaining as well as open and realistic about the current fishing conditions. We really appreciated his honesty and integrity. I would highly recommend using Dan as a fishing guide on the Columbia.
