Full-time since 2006, we offer top-notch boats and gear to create lifelong memories. I grew up fishing for salmon and sturgeon in northwest Oregon’s Willamette River. As a kid, I remember seeing a few fishing guides working the river and thinking about how lucky they were to have the best job on earth. I was only 8 years old but I knew what I wanted my future to hold. Well, here I am many years la

ter working as a professional fishing guide. To tell you the truth, after years of guiding, I still think about how lucky I am to go fishing for a living. I must be dreaming! I love what I do, and those who have fished with me will testify about the energy and passion I bring to the river each day. I cannot think of a better way to enjoy the day than hooking into a big sturgeon or salmon. I know what a lasting and memorable experience landing a big fish provides and after all these years, they still get my heart pounding. In 25 plus years of guiding for salmon and sturgeon, I have learned a thing or two about the Columbia River Basin fishing. I would love to share all of my knowledge with you and make some great memories. My commitment to honesty is reflected by the number of repeat customers in my boat. I will not spin false fishing tales just to book a trip. I enjoy building lasting relationships with my customers that go far beyond the one-time trip. When the salmon are biting better than the sturgeon, I will tell you. If I think your trip will be more successful if you wait a few weeks, I will tell you. My goal for you is a safe and exciting day on the water while catching lots of fish. And I will do whatever it takes to make that happen. If that means getting on the water an hour before the other guides to get in the prime spot or re-anchoring four or five times to find where the fish are running, I will get it done. When you hire me, I will do everything in my power to see that you have a safe and successful fishing experience! Thanks,
Buddy Dupell

**A Day to Remember on the Columbia River**

Today was truly something special. I’ve spent so many days fishing with Ken and David over the years, and it’s always a highlight of my season. Ken just celebrated his 87th birthday, and here he is, still out on the Columbia River catching salmon! 🎣

These guys are something special to me, and I always enjoy our time on the water together. I’m already looking forward to fishing with them next season! Happy Birthday, Ken! Here’s to many more great days ahead.

Great way to start the morning!

"Unfortunately, due to the wreck and closure on I-84, my crew and I didn’t make it out today.

But Travis and his team kicked off the day right! Just look at the smile on this little dude’s face—it says it all. There’s nothing better than kids and fishing, and nothing more exciting than catching your first king salmon. Memories like these last a lifetime! 🎣 "

"Well, we were all set to hit the water today and put another solid whipping on those Columbia River salmon, but instead, here I am... parked on I-84 for over three hours without moving an inch. Talk about a change of plans! Looks like a big wreck up ahead has everything at a standstill. The fishing rods will have to wait a bit longer. Fingers crossed we’re back to chasing salmon soon! "

"Kids and fishing—it’s one of the best parts of what we do! I’ve had so many people reach out asking if they can bring their kids on the boat, and my answer is an absolute *hell yes*! There’s nothing I love more than seeing a smiling kid coming down the dock in the morning, excited for the adventure ahead. Whether it’s catching salmon, sturgeon, or walleye, the joy on their faces is priceless.

Sure, we all love catching fish, but watching a kid catch their first fish is something truly special. It’s a memory that will last a lifetime, and honestly, it means even more to them than to an adult who’s caught hundreds—or even their first one. It just feels good watching that pure excitement when a kid lands their first fish!

So yes, bring your families, bring your kids, and let’s make some memories out here on the water! 🎣💙

Bottom line—it just feels good to my heart, and DUG loves them too. 🐾
