From 50-pound Tillamook Bay Fall Chinook to 2-pound Columbia River Shad, I pursue prey with enthusiasm and determination. I fish in every coastal river on Oregon's North Coast, such as the Kilches, Wilson, Trask and the Nestucca. The Sandy, Clackamas and Willamette Rivers are like my second home. I am a fuly lisecened and insured guide in the State of Oregon.
I love putting people on the fish. I can get you on the water in my jet sled, drift boat, or catamaran.
Come fishing with me and experience one of the unique adventures that living in Portland has to offer.

Terry is a true professional who understands the pacific NW and what it has to offer for catching fish. Terry is a patient and thorough teacher. I highly recommend Terry for any of your salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or tuna adventures. Respectfully, Gary L. Fairchild

Hello, my name is Phil Pettit and I have fished with Terry since 1992. Terrys adventures create memories that last a lifetime. His tuna trips are epic and his salmon, steelhead and sturgeon adventures are 2nd to none. If you want to enjoy a great day on the water with a person who is personable and knowledgeable, Terry is your guide.
