In this article, I will answer some frequently asked questions about booking a fishing guide so you can be prepared for your upcoming guided fishing trip.
Question one: how does a person book a fishing guide?
When searching for a fishing guide, there are several methods to locate one. Conducting a web search? Make sure to examine the guide’s website and social media presence. Additionally, read through service reviews, but don’t dwell on the negative feedback. Keep in mind that most guides conduct over 200 fishing trips annually, and pleasing everyone is challenging.
When you are looking for a fishing guide, be sure to read a handful of the reviews and form your own opinion of the guide before you call him.
When searching for a fishing guide, it’s important to inquire about their experience and how long they have been operating. Additionally, consider if they are someone whose company you would appreciate during a day out on the water.
If everything seems satisfactory, go ahead and reserve a fishing trip with him.
Question 2: What can I expect from a fishing guide?
Booking a guide ensures access to a fishing boat that complies with all safety standards set by the US Coast Guard and the Oregon State Marine Board. Upon your arrival at the marina, you will be provided with high-quality fishing equipment and bait. Although fishing success can never be guaranteed, most guides are committed to diligently striving to locate fish for you.
As a guide, my passion lies in being on the water, assisting my clients with catching fish, and embracing the challenge of locating the fish to fill the boat. I assure you, my desire to see fish in the boat surpasses even yours, and I am committed to making that a reality. I will exhaust all efforts to locate the fish and secure them in the boat. Collaborating with you, we will discover the prime fishing locations and select the most effective baits and lures. My goal is to guarantee you an exceptional day on the water.
Question 3: What does the fishing guide expect from me?
A guide will expect you to have your fishing license, appropriate clothing for the day, and your food, drink, or any snacks that you might like to have for the day.
Additionally, the guide will expect you to be on time and prepared at the marina.
Most fishing guides require a small deposit to reserve your day. However, there are instances where a deposit may not be necessary, although this is generally the case with all fishing trips.
Question 4: Where does this guided fishing trip take place?
When you book a fishing trip, the location of the trip will vary depending on where the salmon and sturgeon are migrating. Generally, the Columbia and Willamette Rivers are good places to fish. Your guide will let you know the exact meeting location a day or two before the trip.
Typically, your guide will suggest a few potential meeting spots to consider, and then, one or two days prior to the trip, they will contact you with the precise location. This ensures you have the best chance of a successful fishing experience.
Should you need to cancel your fishing trip, it’s best to inform your guide with as much advance notice as possible. Last-minute cancellations can be detrimental to your guide, who might have declined other clients in favor of accommodating your schedule.
