Great guy and even better Fisherman!!! Never a dull moment, he will keep you entertained all day. - Jay Martell
My husband and I have been both fishing and crabbing with Bill. He is not only experienced, but loads of fun!! I recommend him 100%. We will never use another guide. - Michelle Schilling
We always use Bill as our guide in the fall. Fished with him six times and always caught fish. He works extremely hard to make sure everyone has a great time. Always on time,great stories and a nice boat if your looking for a great fishing experience hire it’s not a sport it’s an obsession. - Kelly Pierce
The best guide on the water! - Mac Gallegos
it's still early at Buoy 10, and it doesn't appear that many fish are heading up the river yet. Heard that a lot of Mackeral have taken up residence out by the CR buoy and the ocean causing quite a few problems for those trying to find the Coho. we got into a couple schools a few weeks back when I was out there, causing us to take longer to limit.
Bill pulled out all his experience, and stayed out on the water longer than the other guides to get these 4 salmon; I doubt if any other boat did as well.
Overall, very impressed! I haven't fished with a guide for almost 15 years: the last time I wasn't impressed. Bill changed my mind.
I rate my skill level on Salmon in the Columbia river system as "advanced" for what's it's worth. It's rare that I don't bring home a fish, even with the poor year we're having.
As a side note, this was the first time I've seen shrimp flies out fish anchovies. Usually I limit out on rockfish, and most of the time a Ling and cabezon if they're in season. The rock fish definitely preferred the shrimp flies yesterday. - Brad Fresch
