Chuck great captain, knows the river and good teacher

We had a great time with Captain Chuck on the Cowlitz River today! He was a great guide and teacher, and very funny. He effortlessly glided us up and down the river to all the best spots.
We had a DELICIOUS steelhead trout dinner that we threw on the grill, with plenty left to be saved in the freezer. 10/10 will do my next trip with him!

Personally, I have been on 6 different fishing charters all across North America - deep sea fishing, sturgeon fishing, fly fishing - you name it. My brother and Dad combined have about double that, and we all agreed that Captain Chuck is by far the most knowledgable, entertaining, humourous, encouraging, and passionate fishing guide we have ever had.

Always had an extra reel in case our line broke, took us to the best locations on the river, made us laugh till our stomachs hurt multiple times, and didn’t mock us to much for casting our lines into the trees.

I would recommend him to anyone that asked, and we are talking about going again later this year as well.

Captain Chuck has over 28yrs of experience fishing nearly every river, nook, and lake in the Northwest, and you won’t find a better guide or a more memorable trip on this website. Even on a slow day of catching fish, we went home with four large gallon bags of beautiful steelhead trout.

Don’t hesitate to reserve him, you won’t regret it.

Thanks, Chuck!

He did a great job of explaining what we needed to do!

We travelled up and down the river, seeking spots for fishing - had a great time, with Captain Chuck - caught some ‘big ones’ and overall, would highly recommend this trip.
