Elite Angling Fishing Guide
Service fishes for Salmon, Sturgeon,
Steelhead, Trout, Halibut, Tuna, Bottom
fish, we do crabbing and when asked we do
some sightseeing along the way. The most
popular areas in Oregon are Astoria, The
Columbia River, Tillamook Bay, Siletz River,
the Willamette River, Newport and also in
Central & Eastern Oregon. The map below
shows those areas in relation to nearby
cities and towns. Some of the best spots are
right in the backyard of Portland, Oregon
and none are more than two hours from the
Portland area. This makes it possible to fly
in and fish the next day and still be able
to leave the same night if you are in a
crunch for time. Elite Angling likes to be
as accommodating as possible so please
contact us with any questions about area
lodging and facilities. We want your fishing
trip with us to be a complete experience
both on and off the water so we'll always
help in any way we can.
