Mar 5, 2017:
Fishing with Dale was a highlight of our fishing
season. Dale fished my entire family, and a few
were not the most experienced. But Dale shined
making everyone feel confident in their day of
fishing.
Dales equipment was in great shape. His
captain abilities were put to the test and he
performed at the utmost level.
I would always highly recommend to everyone that Dale be their
choice for a great day of fishing. He
is truly a great professional guide.
Happy fishing

My name is Ken Saur.
I live in central California and planned a trip
to RW’s Resort on the Kenai River in Alaska for
August of 2016. One of the guided trips that
were planned out of the lodge was a half-day
boat trip on the Kenai River. My two friends and
I were very fortunate to be assigCHIN00KAHNned to Dale
Ballard, salmon fishing guide.
I happen to be a bass fishing guide in central
California and it is my opinion that you cannot
find a more knowledgeable person to take you out
to catch salmon. Dale does his homework and
knows where the salmon will be; the best spots
to fish and always has the finest baits for the
day. I fished with Dale in Alaska but since he
lives in Oregon, I will be making a few trips up
there to spend some time in the boat with him in
the near future.
With Dale, you just plain catch fish!
God Bless you days on the water,
- Ken Sauret |

Oregon Fishing Guide

Oregon fishing
guide, Dale Ballard fishes the most popular waters in
Oregon for Keeper Sturgeon, Oversize Sturgeon, and
Trophy Sturgeon. Fishing adventures for Salmon,
Steelhead and Shad are favorites of clients who come
from all around the globe. Steelhead Fishing the
Columbia River is extremely popular all year long.
Two of the most popular fishing locations are Buoy 10
for Salmon and Tillamook Bay for Fall Chinook.
The Willamette River is an extremely popular fishing
location for Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon and Shad
and it runs right through the city of Portland, Oregon.
Local Oregon
fishing guide Dale Ballard fishes
the most popular stretches of the Columbia river. Water
conditions usually dictate where the fishing is going to
be best, so the exact location of the best catching
changes every year. Stream flow, rain, water clarity and
bright sunny or dark cloudy days all factor in when
Columbia river fishing guide Dale Ballard decides "where
to fish" and "what type of bait to use" or "what colors
of Salmon fishing lures and flashers to use." Dale tells
clients
"Catching Salmon is an ever changing task and
there are lots of variables, lots of factors. On the
good days most good fisherman are able to get a fish or
two. It's on the slow days when all the boats are
getting skunked that I really am glad that I have paid
attention to all the variables over the years". When the
fishing gets tough, I get resourceful and I just don't
like to give up until I've tried every trick I know and
my clients have had success". |

When you book a fishing trip on
the Columbia River with a fishing guide or charter boat,
don't be the people in the other boats who are getting
skunked and looking over at The Fin Reaper's boat and
saying "Hey, what's that guide using?" The Fin Reaper
has his own special fishing egg cures and he has learned
some lure tweaks over the years that work better on the
tougher days when fishing is slow. So when you book a
fishing trip on the Columbia River with a fishing guide
or charter boat it's good to know that you can book a
guided fishing with the best. |
