 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.
I began testing my skills and learning the inns and outs of steelhead
and salmon fishing and at the age of 22 I passed my Oregon guide license
exams and started guiding valley and coastal rivers in my drift boat. At
the age of 23 I bought my first jet sled and was very honored to have
been chosen to be a member of the National Budweiser Fishing Team as
their Northwest Salmon and Steelhead guide and consultant. During the
next four years I conducted fishing and hunting seminars all over
Oregon, Washington and Idaho at Grand Openings of the Wal-Mart stores.
Soon after that time I was selected by the great people at the
Miller Brewing Co. to be on board their winning team in the Northwest,
and I became their representative fishing guide for the next eight
years. During this period I had the pleasure of being sponsored with the
Genuine Draft brand, Red Dog, and for the last six years the Miller Lite
brand.
I have been featured on popular national television shows. I've been
chosen as a fishing guide to be on the American outdoors Journal TV
show, ESPN and the HawgQwest. I've also been featured in popular
Northwest outdoor magazines like the Salmon Trout Steelhead, Fishing and
Hunting News, Oregon / Washington Fish And Game, and The Fish Sniffer.
Most recently, after being sponsored by Mercury Marine and on the pro
staff for over 18 years, I am now hosting the Mercury Pro team boat in
the Northwest.
I take my job as a full-time fishing guide very seriously and my
goal is to ensure every one of my customers the best possible fishing
trip, a new friendship and memories that will last a lifetime.

 If the photo
on the left looks familiar you may have seen Oregon fishing guide Steve
Smith on his popular Northwest Outdoor fishing Television Show STEVE
SMITH OUTDOORS. Steve Smith is an avid area fisherman and is well
known on the most popular Oregon rivers for his fishing knowledge of the
rivers and times and current fishing action. Steve Smith has been a full
time professional angling guide since 1976. Steve has guided anglers for
Trout, Salmon, Sturgeon, Steelhead, Walleye, and Bass. Steve has guided
in Oregon, Washington and Western Montana. When he is not guiding
anglers or fishing for his own pleasure, Steve can be found working on
fish habitat conservation projects or monitoring the actions of the
legislature, agencies and groups whose actions could negatively impact
sport fisheries. The award winning weekly "Northwest Sport Fishing
Report " TV Show was produced and hosted by Steve from 1985-2000.
Through his local area knowledge and association with guides throughout
the Northwest Steve is able to pinpoint the best angling opportunities
in the Western US for his guests and keep the public informed about
threats to fish and fish habitat. On his days off Steve can most often
be found with Fly or Drift Rod in hand looking for that " next "fish. By
being constantly on the rivers of the Northwest Steve is uniquely
experienced and qualified to put you in touch with some of the worlds
best game fish. Steve is intense in his pursuit of game fish and totally
committed to his guests success and pleasure. He derives great
satisfaction from teaching people how to fish, and in sharing his best
fishing waters." Experience the Difference " is much more than just a
slogan. Steve has been on a mission since he was a young boy. His
Mission in life has been to sort the biters from the non biters and
protect the Habitats that provide us a great places to find peace and
enchantment. When weather & water conditions force Steve to his
workbench to craft the flies you will be fishing with it is with great
pleasure that each is created. Steve knows the pleasure these proven fly
patterns will cause his guests when they feel the power of the west's
best game fish. Your safety is Steve's primary concern. A graduate of
the US Army Medical Training Corp. insures you of excellent immediate
treatment skills.
Choosing a good fishing guide boils down to this...........
Do you want to hire a fulltime professional guide who fishes on his days
off or a part timer. The industry is filled with unqualified guides.
Firemen, Teachers and Students are not by definition professional
guides. Beware when hiring a guide who says he has X number of years
experience. Is that experience as a Full Time Professional or was that
time taking the kids fishing ? Call Steve at 503-661-3474 and discuss
what is going on right now and where so that you can plan your trip or
