Where your guided
fishing adventure begins!
There’s a place on the boat for you & your family.
I’m a lifetime fisherman and avid outdoorsman who knows the local streams, rivers and ocean across Astoria, Oregon like the back of my hand.
Born and raised on the Lower Columbia River, I started fishing with my father at a very young age and developed a love and passion for fishing far beyond most.
With that drive and determination to catch fish, there was only one thing I could think of as an occupation: being a fishing guide!
Fueled by the love of the game, I fish over 200 days a year. So, if you are ready to catch fish and have a fun-filled day on the water, do it right, go with a pro, and come along on another Kelly's Adventure!

Fall Chinook & Coho
Bouy 10 in Astoria Oregon is the mecca of all salmon fishing! This world renowned salmon fishery is a must for an action-packed day on the water.
Starting August 1st and fishing through October there are chinook and coho in the lower Columbia making their way up the river. Lots of fish, lots of boats and lots of fun in the sun.
Winter Steelhead & Spring Chinook
Steelhead: Dec. 1st. - March 1st., Salmon: April 1st. - June 1st.
For a fun-filled day along some of the most beautiful streams, you can learn some very valuable information on how to catch some of the most finicky fish in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been fishing these local streams since I was young and continue to fish them every day during the winter and spring seasons.
Guided Fishing Lessons: After learning from a day on the stream, you will have the knowledge to fish steelhead and salmon in any coastal stream and be successful!
Sturgeon
If you have kids that you want to bring fishing, this is it!
A fun-filled, action-packed day with the chance of catching a sturgeon up to 10 feet long! These prehistoric fish will give you a run for your money.
Fishing out of Astoria between June 1st through the middle of August is when Sturgeon fishing is at its best.
You and your kids will never forget a sturgeon trip out of Astoria, Oregon.
Scenic Boat Tours
I now offer sight-seeing tours on the Lower Columbia River.
Check out some of the islands in the middle of the Columbia River. Bird watching and observing wildlife are always fun getaways.
I know some of the nooks and crannies that don't get seen very often.
What to bring
- Current Fishing License and Punch Card for Oregon or Washington.
- A lunch and a drink.
- Appropriate warm layered clothing. Remember, the boat has a top, and full rain gear shouldn't be needed.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, and hat. (If weather permits)
- Sea sickness medication. Dramamine is the most common type or anything that assists with motion sickness.
