Lance Fisher Fishing brings year-round guided fishing trips to the Pacific Northwest, including a dedicated Seattle service area covering Puget Sound Blackmouth and Chinook fishing along with steelhead and salmon trips on nearby rivers. Founded by native Oregonian Lance Fisher in 2001, the business has grown into a multi-location guide and charter service spanning Oregon, Washington, and the Columbia River, with thousands of private and corporate clients hosted over the years.
Around Seattle, the fishing runs close to the city itself, with opportunities for Blackmouth and Chinook salmon in Puget Sound alongside steelhead and salmon runs on the region’s rivers. Beyond the Seattle area, Lance Fisher Fishing’s broader footprint covers the Columbia River Gorge, Portland, the Willamette River, and coastal Oregon towns like Astoria, Newport, and Tillamook, giving the business access to salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and ocean species including albacore tuna, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and crab depending on the season and location.
Trips run out of a mix of boats built for different water types, including the 34-foot Legion’s Mercy for larger water and 25-foot Willie Raptor sled boats for river work, all outfitted with G. Loomis rods and Shimano reels. Fishing licenses and all necessary gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait, are provided for every guided trip, and pricing is structured around whether a client prefers a shared or private boat, with options available across a range of budgets. Full-day trips generally start around $200 to $250 per person depending on location and trip type, with shared and private party options for groups of four to six.
Lance Fisher personally books each trip to help match clients with the right option for their goals, whether that’s a corporate outing, a family trip with kids, or a serious day chasing trophy fish. The business emphasizes turnkey, productive days on the water, with equipment and logistics handled so clients can focus on fishing.
For anglers in the Seattle area or across the wider Pacific Northwest looking for an experienced, multi-location guide service covering salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and ocean species, Lance Fisher Fishing offers a well-established option with trips tailored to a range of budgets and group sizes.
