Guided Trips

Winter & Summer Steelhead

Drift boat trips make up the majority of the steelhead guided trips. We fish the Nehalem, Kilchis, Wilson, Trask, and Nestucca Rivers.

River selection is based on the steelhead run strength and current river conditions. The primary method of fishing is bobber dogging beads and eggs, but other methods are utilized as well.

River Bay Lodge

It all started 6 years ago. Friends always said, "I want to catch a steelhead and go fishing with you sometime!" So I rented a home for a week and opened the doors.

Thew River Bay Lodge is a small intimate destination fishing lodge experience. I take 2 to 3 anglers at a time to fish directly with me every day. If your party exceeds the 3 I have several experienced guides that help us get everyone on the water.

Our lodge runs January through the end of March, as we focus on the pursuit of Winter Steelhead on 5 different rivers in the Tillamook, Oregon area.

Your trip of a lifetime, catching the fish of 1,000 casts awaits...well, let's get that number down!
