Guided Salmon & Waterfowl Trip Rates

I offer private guided salmon and waterfowl trips for 1–2 guests on the Skagit River. I run an 18’ Wooldridge with an outboard jet. It is a very stable platform that is spacious for its size and lets us reach tucked‑away water and shallow runs with ease.

I guide Monday through Friday to give you the strongest possible days on the Skagit — lighter pressure, better access, and more opportunity. I do keep a limited number of weekend dates open to guiding for guests who need the flexibility.

Some notes for when you schedule a trip with me:

• Deposit policy: A $100 deposit is required to secure your date. The deposit is refundable if canceled at least 14 days before your trip.

• Solo guests: Solo guests are always welcome. If another guest books the same date and you’re both comfortable sharing the boat, you’ll each receive the two‑person rate.

• Guide‑initiated cancellations: If I need to cancel due to weather, unsafe river conditions, or personal circumstances, we’ll move your trip to another open date or to the following season. If we can’t find a date that works, your deposit will be refunded.

• Youth participation: I support youth involvement in the outdoors. When conditions allow, I may make an exception for a third participant under 18 at no extra charge — my way of helping the next generation get started.

• Rates: All rates include sales tax and are for the 2026/2027 season. What you see is what you pay — no surprises and nothing added at the end of your trip.
