Join Phil Wildman Outdoor Adventures for a fully guided Columbia River fishing trip focused on hard-fighting walleye — with the added opportunity of hooking into a variety of other river species throughout the day. Walleye are the primary focus and are prized for both steady action and outstanding table fare. This stretch of the Columbia River is loaded with opportunity, and it’s common to encounter multiple species in a single trip, making every day on the water dynamic and productive.
Experience one of the most fun and productive fisheries the Oregon Coast has to offer. This trip is all about steady action, variety, and bringing home some of the best-tasting seafood available. We target a mix of bottom fish species using proven, effective techniques that keep rods bending throughout the day. While you’re fishing, we also set crab gear to give you the opportunity to take home fresh Dungeness crab—some of the finest table fare on the coast.
Experience one of the most dynamic and productive salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest. Our Columbia River salmon trips are built around timing, migration patterns, and proven techniques—giving you the best possible opportunity to stay on fish throughout the season. The season kicks off in early spring with the highly anticipated Spring Chinook run. These fish are among the most prized in the Northwest, known for their quality and challenge. With limited openings, we target this fishery around mid to late April, focusing on peak opportunity before the season typically closes at the end of the month.
Don’t miss out on the peak of the season. Whether you’re chasing a hard-fighting Columbia River King or looking for a fun-filled family day pulling crab pots on the coast, our calendar fills up fast. At Phil Wildman Outdoor Adventures, we handle the scouting, the gear, and the navigation so you can focus on the fight.
