To all my Fishing Friends:

The WINTER STEELHEAD are here and more are coming! (With the excellent Coho returns this season)
Serve as an Indication that the number of Steelhead returning to the North Oregon Coastal streams will be
Very High and fishing will be Fantastic...

The Wilson, Trask and Nestucca Rivers are sure to have many of these hard fighting fish starting now
and continue through to April. Steelhead are my favorite fish to catch due to their acrobatic jumps and
strong fighting abilities...

In my brand new 2009 19' x 66" Willie Drift boat (up to 4 people) works great for a comfortable
and fun day on the river. I provide all the gear, tackle and bait for chasing these silver bullets.

As a volunteer for collection of Native Brood stock, you have the opportunity to capture one of these large
wild fish and get credit for contributing to this fishery.
The capture fish are used as parents for future runs of fish, which helps increase the returns of Steelhead.

I also sell Gift Certificates make a great unexpected gift under the tree... Ho Ho HO
Today, I have plenty of open dates and now is good time to book a trip for X-mass, Birthdays or anniversaries gifts.
Over the last several year, I have made fishing memories for many and experienced fisherman. Let us make a fishing
Memory for your Mom, Dad, Son, Daughter, grandchildren or friend this season.
This has been another great year of fishing! THANK-YOU for fishing with me and making it HAPPEN !!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

     This year's predicted fall Chinook run should be considerably better then last year. Also this year we will have up to 31 days for Chinook Last year we had 12 days.

I still have some open seats / Dates.
Tillamook Bay should be good this year also. If you are thinking of booking a trip just give me a call.
Thanks your Guide Pat Abel

Hello Everyone,

Well it's spring Chinook time, and Oregon Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife are predicting the 3rd largest return since 1977. The season is based on preliminary run projections that 269,300 fish will return to the Columbia river, and 34,000 fish will make it up the Willamette river.

Now is the time to start planning your spring Chinook trips, and spring Sturgeon trips. As you can see the spring season will be very productive this year.

This year I have my boat moored at Harbor One Marina 3307 N.E. Marine Dr. (Near the Portland airport) So we can just hop in the boat and go!!!

Please call me so I can schedule dates for you and your party.

Thanks,
Pat Abel
