Today was all about the youth of today—the anglers of tomorrow. We had an incredible time on the water with these kids and their families, giving them a taste of what makes fishing so special. From the first cast to the last reel-in, the excitement never slowed down. The smiles, laughter, and fish in the boat made for a day they won’t soon forget. It’s always a privilege to watch the next generation fall in love with the outdoors.

It was both a family reunion and a fishing adventure for the crew. The guys traveled from all over Oregon to spend time with their dad and make some memories on the water. We launched out of Irrigon, Oregon in search of walleye—and walleye is exactly what we found. The crew had a blast trolling worm harnesses, hauling in Columbia River gold one after another. It was a day full of action, laughter, and plenty of catching for this special family gathering.

Pro Guide Mike launched out of Hood River today, heading for Drano Lake with one goal in mind—put some chrome in the fish bag. With steelhead numbers running high and the retention season open, the timing couldn’t have been better. Mike delivered for the crew, finding the fish and making the most of the hot bite. By the end of the day, the smiles were as bright as the chrome in the cooler—a perfect summer steelhead trip on the Columbia.

oday we hit the water with Ken, his stepdaughter, and her husband. They made the trip from the west side of the state and from Boise, Idaho, meeting in the middle for a day of fishing on the Columbia. We launched out of Umatilla, Oregon at 8 a.m. in search of walleye. This was his daughter’s very first fishing trip, and we wasted no time getting her on the bite—first fish landed and plenty more followed. It was a fantastic day filled with smiles, laughs, and new fishing memories.

We launched out of Irrigon, Oregon today with a mission—find some walleye and tangle with a Columbia River sturgeon or two. The day was a complete success. We filled the cooler with a solid haul of walleye, then topped it off in style as everyone on board got to battle and reel in a sturgeon. Smiles, laughter, and bent rods all around—just another fantastic day of fishing on the Columbia.

The start of August picked up right where July left off—with great weather, great company, and even better fishing. It’s been an incredible season so far, and we’re excited for what’s still to come. Today was all about family. We hit the water, got into a solid mess of walleye for the fryer, and made some awesome memories along the way. Boat dog Ruth even joined the fun, adding her usual charm to the trip. What a fun and fulfilling day on the Columbia!

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Pro Guide Steve hit the Columbia in search of that elusive night bite—and the walleye didn’t disappoint. It was a great evening on the water for the crew, with a couple of quality fish making it to the Willy boat before being released to swim another day. Alongside the trophies, the guys boxed up a solid haul of eater-sized walleye to take home. A calm night, great company, and a boat full of fish—doesn’t get much better than that.

It was a ladies' day on the water with Pro Guide Miles, launching out of Umatilla in search of some Columbia River gold—walleye! Miles got it done, putting the crew of awesome women right on the fish. The rods were bending, the smiles were wide, and the energy on the boat was nothing short of electric. What a fantastic day of fishing and fun for the whole crew!

It was another stellar day of walleye fishing with Pro Guide Tony on the Columbia River out of Umatilla, Oregon. Today’s trip was with our corporate partners from CED, and let’s just say—it was a smashing success! The crew spent the day trolling worm harnesses, and it paid off in a big way. Rods were bending, the cooler was filling, and smiles were everywhere. It’s always a pleasure to get our corporate groups on the water for a day of great fishing and even better memories.
