Buddy with Columbia River Fishing Adventures is the best of the best and I would recommend to anyone looking for a top notch experience fishing the Columbia. This is the second time we went with Columbia River Fishing Adventures and Buddy, the guide, is extremely knowledgeable. He is great at making sure everyone has a great time as well! My fiancé and I went together and caught so many Walleye (she was very happy). We had a blast and Buddy always adds to the experience in such a positive way. For anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime fishing experience in the area, look no further!

Ripper of a day on the Columbia! Travis is a bloody legend putting me and my 6 year old son on the fish in changing conditions. All the way from Australia, we had one shot and our time with Travis was a huge success. Thanks mate, my boy can’t stop talking about how you were able to help him land a dinosaur. If you’re keen on some sturgeon fishing, look no further than a day out with Travis or Buddy. Top blokes! We will be looking to fish with them on our next visit to this side of the world! Thanks again Travis and Buddy!

We had an amazing experience with Columbia River Fishing Adventures! Our guide, Buddy, was absolutely fantastic—super knowledgeable, professional, and easy to spend the day with. His boat was clean and well-kept, and everything was organized and ready to go. We shared plenty of stories, made some new friends, and created some great memories out on the water. And to top it all off, we brought home some keepers! We also have to mention Buddy’s dog, Dug, who greets you at the boat and is always ready for a snack. He’s the perfect fishing buddy. If you’re looking for a fun, well-run fishing trip with a guide who truly knows his stuff (and a four-legged first mate), we highly recommend Buddy and Columbia River Fishing Adventures. We’ll definitely be back!

Our first time fishing for walleyes was fantastic. Buddy and his dog, Dug, took us out in the Boardman area of the Columbia River. A nice and quiet stretch of the Columbia. We caught plenty of Walleye. Buddy was a great guide and his boat is amazing. I highly recommend a day or more on the water with Buddy. And Dug.
