Adam’s Northwest Fishing Adventures has run guided fishing trips across the Columbia and Snake Rivers since 2015, led by Captain Adam Geddes out of the Tri-Cities area in Benton City, Washington. What began as a small local operation has grown into a well-known charter service, with Adam still handling every trip personally, from beginners with no fishing experience to serious anglers looking for a full day chasing trophy fish.
Trips run aboard a 26-foot River Wild open boat and a 24-foot North River Scout, both offering plenty of room to comfortably fit up to six anglers. The seasonal lineup follows Columbia River king salmon starting in spring near Hood River and Drano Lake, shifting through the Hanford Reach by mid-June where Chinook and sockeye fishing overlap, and continuing up to Wanapum Dam and the Brewster Pool through summer, with the fall Chinook run in the Hanford Reach considered one of the best-known king salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest.
Beyond salmon, Adam’s Northwest Fishing Adventures runs walleye trips across eastern Washington’s toothy predator fisheries, prized for their table quality, along with Columbia and Snake River steelhead trips using bobber fishing, side drifting, and plug fishing techniques. Hells Canyon steelhead trips run on the Snake River in November and December, and White Sturgeon trips target some of the hardest-fighting freshwater fish around, with river giants regularly running 5 to 7 feet and occasional trophies reaching 8 to 10 feet or more.
Every trip runs a full day, and Adam prides himself on accommodating anglers of any age or physical ability, with client reviews consistently highlighting his patience, knowledge, and ability to put groups on fish even on tougher days. Fish are bled and iced immediately after landing to preserve freshness, then filleted and bagged at the end of the trip so guests can take their catch straight home.
For anglers looking to fish salmon, walleye, steelhead, or sturgeon on the Columbia and Snake Rivers with a highly reviewed, hands-on local guide, Adam’s Northwest Fishing Adventures offers a well-established Tri-Cities charter service built around personal attention and consistent results.
