Sandy River Guide Service

Sandy River Guide Service fishes its home river from a Clackamax drift boat chosen for low-water conditions and easy river access, and its own site describes the Sandy as offering some of the best salmon and steelhead fishing in Oregon, with the prime water near Troutdale. Guests meet the boat on Jordan Road in Troutdale, at the lower end of the river before it reaches the Columbia. The run of fish through the year takes in Chinook and coho salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout. Every trip includes rods, reels, tackle, bait and ice, and the guide cleans and fillets the catch, so anglers need bring little beyond a licence. A deposit holds the date and is not refunded on a guest cancellation.
