Lance Fisher Fishing
The great thing for fishermen here in the Pacific Northwest is that you have year around runs of Salmon, Steelhead, and Sturgeon. Some months are certainly better than others, but to enjoy such an abundance of different types of fishing trips is certainly special. Some of the top runs on the continent exist on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest. Because of this, you have many choices from which to choose, and Lance Fisher wants to make sure that you end up with the trip or trips that best suit your needs and desires. Lance has spent the last decade developing a guide/charter service that people can really enjoy. Equipment matters, and he and his family have gone to extensive lengths to make sure that clients are fishing in and with the very best equipment available. From the state of the art 25′ Willie Raptor, to the top of the line G. Loomis rods and Shimano reels- great fishing equipment, along with the available fishing makes for great days on the water together. So whether you’ve come to Lance as a corporation looking to entertain clients, or a private individual or group simply looking to fish, the goal is to make your days on the water as turn key and productive as possible.
