The same quality, on the coast
JD built his reputation as a salmon and steelhead guide. Along with Western Outfitting & Guide Co., we offer the same quality trips on the ocean out of Crescent City, CA and Brookings, OR, and on rivers like the Rogue, Elk, Sixes, Chetco, Smith, Klamath and Trinity.
Winter steelhead
Drift boat trips from December through March on fabled rivers like the Smith, Eel, Klamath, Trinity, Chetco, Elk and Sixes. With our partnership, we have two boats to serve you. Locations depend on water conditions, so call for details.
Salmon
Salmon seasons change by location and year. Reach out and we’ll tell you what’s open and where the bite is best.

JD literally wrote the book on it. See his steelhead and salmon guides, and his video on why anglers get so obsessed with steelhead.
