Featured Testimonial: Our Clients Write In
Fun as a guide, fun to fish with, fun to hang with, that's Joe Vivenzio.
Joe doesn't mess around, he's gonna put you on fish and hook you up. He taught me how to fly fish on the Salmon River last year and fine-tuned me this year. We'd get on the good water before the sun came up, get set up and fish from sunrise to dinnertime. Joe keeps us rigged up with the happening flies and he's there to help land the fish he puts us on. This trip I must have hooked and fought over 30 fish (in the first few hours of the first day!) before I finally "got it" and landed a beautiful atlantic salmon. We got to watch Joe in action when he came by to fish with us on his day off, he was constantly hooking up, ..... amazing.
Thanks again Joe,
Thanks also to Chris, Hi to Sinbad
I'm looking forward to next year's trip!

Be Patient
We have been getting many calls & e-mails about when is the best time of year to fish for Salmon, Steelhead etc.
There is no question you can fish the Salmon River and be successful in the summer months for summer-run Steelhead (Skamania), Atlantic's, & Brown trout. What you may not realize is, most of those fish stand a greater chance of mortality due to the stress of water temperatures and not being handled properly. As a rule we like to wait at least until mid-September. Generally speaking, there are much better minimum river flows, which in turn equal better conditions to enjoy a great resource. The survival of any salmon migrating in these water temperatures is ridiculous to even think about. Be patient in another month all will be great.
Tight Lines, Joe & Sinbad
