It was a full day of walleye fishing for the two FCO boats out on the water. Pro Guide Tony had the crew from Tire Factory aboard, while Pro Guide Miles was joined by longtime client Montey and his buddy. The morning started off a bit slow for Tony, but not for long—Miles was already hot on the bite, hauling in fish left and right. Before you knew it, Tony found his groove and started stacking them in the boat at a fast pace. All in all, it was an awesome day of fishing for both crews. Plenty of laughs, plenty of fish, and plenty of good times shared on the Columbia.

Today was a special one on the water as we had the privilege of fishing with Hannah. It had been 16 months since she last cast a line—an accident had left her right side immobile, but her determination to return to the river never wavered. She wasn’t about to let anything keep her from doing what she loves. Watching her back in action, reeling in walleye and flashing that unforgettable smile, was nothing short of inspiring. The laughter, the joy, and the fish—today was a celebration of resilience, strength, and the healing power of the outdoors. As we enjoyed our walleye bite, Captain Wade was upriver putting in the hours hunting down summer Chinook on the Columbia.

Today was a special one—I got to spend the day on the water with my big brother and a couple of guests he brought along for a mixed trip chasing both sturgeon and walleye. The bite was on, and the crew made the most of it. They took home a pile of great-eating walleye and, best of all, landed their first-ever sturgeon. Nothing beats a day of fishing, family, and first-time memories. One for the books!

It was an absolute smash fest today for Rob, Chip, and the boys. The summer bite was wide open, and the walleye were stacked and snapping. We trolled worm harnesses and loaded the boat in a quick three-hour morning trip—plenty of quality fish for the crew to take home. After dropping them off, Miles and I headed back out to see what the jigs could do—and they delivered. Another solid hour of catching capped off an already great day on the water. Fast fishing, full coolers, and summer vibes—that’s how we do it at FCO.

FCO Pro Guide Steve put together another great day on the water—this time for a father and son duo ready to do some catching. With warming water temps slowing the bite a bit, Steve switched gears and focused on trolling worm harnesses. The strategy paid off, and the guys put together a solid haul. A great day of fishing, learning, and making memories on the Columbia. That’s what it’s all about.

With no clients on the schedule today, we took the opportunity to do a little scouting—and of course, some fishing of our own. Angel, Ruth, and I hit the Snake River in search of walleye and managed to find a few. We also made a quick run out to the Wallula grounds and picked up a few more there. No pressure, no rush—just a great day of exploring water, catching fish, and spending time on the boat with my bride. Doesn’t get much better than that.

It was another night on the water for Fishers Catch Outfitters’ Pro Guide Steve—and the walleye didn’t disappoint. Back on the night bite, we put the Walleye Bandits to work, and the rods were bending all evening. The fish were there, we were there, and it was lights-out fishing from start to finish. The night bite is heating up—don’t miss your chance to get in on the action!

We took a break from the walleye grind today and headed up the Columbia for some sockeye salmon—and it paid off. Captain Wade had the crew dialed in early, and the fish were snapping. The action was steady, the vibes were high, and limits came quick. Nothing better than a successful morning chasing chrome on the upper river. Big thanks to the crew for making it a fun one!

It was a solid day on the water with returning client Mark and the gang. It’s been a little while since we’ve had the pleasure of fishing together, but we picked up right where we left off—catching fish! The bite was on, the fish were ready to play, and the crew made the most of it. Great laughs, great fishing, and a great day all around. Always a blast having Mark on board. Let’s not wait so long for the next one!
