Guides’ experience, how-to knowledge, and handy tips can make a challenging, sometimes frustrating endeavor more exciting, relaxing, and enjoyable.

Please note that many of these fisheries are seasonal, particularly on the Columbia River, and can have special rules in regulations in place. For all the information, including details on licenses, be sure to check out the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website.

From this unique vantage point, you can appreciate the high rocky cliffs of Cape Horn, waterfalls like Multnomah Falls and Horsetail Falls, as well as Beacon Rock, Rooster Rock and Crown Point.
