Andy’s Angling Adventures

Andy’s Angling Adventures is run by Andy Coleman out of the town of Chehalis, Washington, which shares its name with the river and sits in the upper basin. Coleman is a fourth-generation fisherman from the Cowlitz Valley, where his family homesteaded more than 125 years ago; he worked as a deckhand before starting to guide professionally at twenty-one, and the business describes roughly three decades behind the wheel since. He is listed on the Washington State Guides Association members roster. The operation is not fishing only, running big-game hunting trips in western states through the off season. The guide is described as licensed and insured, and the business carries pro-staff and sponsor relationships with Yamaha Motors, Wooldridge Boats, Simms, Owner Hooks and KUIU.
