I guide on a 2007 17’ Willie Drift Row Boat equipped with Diamond plate floors for stability & comfort while standing or moving around. My boat includes a heater for those really cold days when being comfortable is important. It also has a pizza oven to cook or warm up any food. For power, you'll find a Yamaha 9.9HP kicker on the back as well as large temptress seats to make it as comfortable as possible.

I'm a fishing guide on Rogue River, Chetco River, Elk River, Umpqua River and Sixes River. I tend to catch a variety of fish, but I specialize in catching Trout, Steelhead, Salmon and all types of Bass. I keep my boat clean, always well maintained and ready to go.
My favorite fishing techniques for trout on Rogue River and Chetco River are trolling wedding rings tipped with night crawlers and still fishing using night crawlers, Velveeta cheese and of course Powerbaits. My favorite fishing techniques for steelhead on Rogue River and Chetco River are running plugs, bobber dogging, side drifting, bait dragging and float fishing. I tend to use roe, shrimp, night crawlers and yarn balls with scent for attractant as bait for steelhead. I also sometimes use soft beads, pink worms and jigs.
Depending on if I’m running in the bay or further up river, my favorite techniques for salmon are trolling anchovies, back bouncing roe and running plugs. To catch smallmouth bass and largemouth bass, my favorite fishing techniques are using soft plastics, sinkos, jigs and crank baits.
