Matt is a good as it gets in Astoria….if you have never gone on a guided trip, I highly recommend a day or two with Matt..

Even if you have gone, im sure you will still learn a thing or two and have a great experience fishing the mighty Columbia.

Though fishing is best in august, Matt also catches king salmon in the spring(springers) which are actually the best tasting of all the salmon. Id try to grab a date the first week of april with him, book early as these coveted dates usually book out months if not a year in advance.

I really appreciate the care that goes into your posts, and I loved learning about the fishing lingo and more about Stellar Sea Lions. I’m going to share this with Bryan and Ava, and encourage a family fishing trip with Matthew next year. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience.

Thanks, Jon! Yes, Matt is the best and he is really good at what he does. Being on the boat was physically very challenging, reeling in the fish equally challenging, but adrenaline inducing! Tough, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Well, maybe a bit quicker on the fish catch..but hey, it’s the life of a fisherperson.)

Actually, based on our getting-rained-on-for-4hrs last year – hypothermic ! — and your all-day, 12-hour marathon this year, I was happy to be back here in Seattle. I enjoy casting for trout in the Yakima River on a hot summer day, not so much sitting on any boat that doesn’t have sails. My motto, “never go to a party that you have to swim home from.” All that said, we all got our kings last year and all of you did this year, so success in the end, and it is fascintating to watch Matt do his thing, he really knows what he’s doing out there.
