Your adventure begins on a brand-new 23-foot Alumaweld boat, which comfortably accommodates up to four anglers. This vessel is equipped with an ice box to keep your catch fresh. During the fall, Captain Austin specializes in guided Salmon trips, targeting both Chinook and Coho at the coast and around the Columbia River near Portland. These trips run from August through mid-November. As winter approaches, from January onwards, Captain Austin shifts focus to Steelhead fishing on the Wilson River in Tillamook or the Sandy River, covering areas from Oxbow Park to Dabney Park. Come April, he transitions to spring Chinook fishing on the Willamette River, including the Multnomah Channel and the vicinity of the St. John’s Bridge. All necessary equipment, including rods, reels, and terminal tackle, is provided, allowing you to concentrate solely on fishing. Be sure to purchase a valid fishing license before your trip. At the end of your adventure, our crew will clean and fillet your catch, so you can take home your freshly caught fish. Book with Fassiotto’s Guide Service today for $225 per person.
