Lance Fisher Fishing
Portland, Oregon
Lance Fisher Fishing is a Portland, Oregon charter and guide business that has been running trips for over twenty years, its owner a native Oregonian who has hosted thousands of clients. Its range is unusually wide for a river guide: alongside the Willamette and the Cowlitz it sells days on the Columbia, the Clackamas, the Sandy and the Lewis, and it runs saltwater and estuary trips out of Astoria, Newport and Tillamook Bay, including the Buoy 10 fishery at the Columbia mouth. That spread lets the operation follow fish through the calendar rather than depend on any one system, and the website carries current river-by-river pages describing what each is doing as the season turns.
