The CBS Morning Show best described Hank Parker when
introducing him as "the rod-n-reel answer to Michael Jordan,
in popularity and talent!" Hank has enjoyed a storied professional
bass fishing and outdoor television host career that continues to
grow each season! His accomplishments on the professional bass
fishing tournament trail support the fact he is one of America's
greatest bass fishermen to ever compete.

Marv McQuinn has been guiding some of the most popular Salmon, Steelhead and
Sturgeon waters in the Northwest now for over 20 years. He knows how to
find fish and he works hard for his clients. His clients will tell you
he truly loves fishing and that just makes an outing with him a day you
will enjoy and always remember.

Growing up in Oregon, Pat Abel found that he
had a gift for catching Salmon and Steelhead. Before
beginning his career as a
Fishing Guide, Pat was already a Professional fisherman,
designing a miter box (The Master Plug Cutter) to get the
exact spin
he needed on a herring to catch more fish.

For the past two decades, legendary
angler Roland Martin has given viewers the scoop on how to outsmart
a variety of game-fish. But after so many years of sharing his boat
with millions of anglers around the world, you'd think his bag of
tricks is about empty. No way!!! Martin continues to pull in the big
ones on Fishing with Roland Martin.

Hello, my name is Kelly Short and I will be your guide when you book
a trip with Kelly Short Outdoors. I am a native Oregonian, and I
have been fishing popular Northwest rivers since the age of three.
Once I turned 16 and began driving. It became very difficult to find
me as I started testing my skills on every river and water way I
could find in the state of Oregon.

Hello there, it's good to see you... I'm Pro-Guide
Dennis Stewart and I'd like to meet you and show you
some of the finest Salmon and Sturgeon fishing there is!
I specialize in fishing the Lower Columbia River and the
Nehalem Bay and after booking a trip with me you too
will ask: "Why fish anywhere else?" I live in Seaside,
on the beautiful Oregon coast, minutes away from the
Columbia, and Nehalem Bay. By living so close, and just
fishing these two locations, you get to know the fish,
and the water very well. If salmon or sturgeon are the
fish you're looking for, and the Columbia River, around
Astoria, or Nehalem bay are the places you want to fish,
you have found yourself a great local fishing guide!
