Fishing Guide in Pacific City

Welcome to my home waters of Pacific City, where coastal rivers and estuaries meet the Pacific for incredible fishing.

On the Water

Fishing Pacific City

As my home base, Pacific City offers a fantastic blend of coastal fishing experiences. The Nestucca River and other nearby estuaries are prime spots for Fall Chinook and Coho salmon during their migration. These fish provide exciting action right near the coast. As winter sets in, these same waters become prime territory for winter steelhead, offering a thrilling challenge for dedicated anglers. We also have opportunities to target resident trout in the smaller coastal streams. A charter departing from Pacific City means you're fishing with a local who knows these waters intimately, ensuring the best possible experience on the Oregon coast.

The river today: Nestucca River near Beaver: 84 cfs and rising (USGS gauge, Oct 25).
