Introduction: I guide the Columbia River for the prized Spring and Fall Chinook. You won't see me give up during a tough bite. I work extremely hard to get keep my clients on the fish. I am not afraid to share my secrets and best practices. I love to talk fishing! I use only the best equipment and bait. I have a top of the line boat, comfortable armchair seating, bathroom and blue tooth music on board. Come Join Me! Being outdoors, meeting new people, teaching people my craft and getting people on the fish. Getting someone hooked up with their first salmon is the best.

Having two guided trips with Joel we are now "lifers" with him at the helm! We limited out both times with fish ready for the freezer or smoker when we got home. Not only did he have the expertise of the species that we were fishing for plus the boat and equipment that were supplied to us was grade "A" top notch. We will continue to have Joel Henley as our fishing guide! Thanks Joel for wonderful fishing experiences. Tim and Sue Emerson

Joel spares no expense and provides his customers with the best gear available and without a doubt the nicest boat in the guide business. Combine that with his experience and hard work at putting you on the fish and you have a winner. Highly recommend you book a trip!

Great fishing trip! Total professional experience, and we all caught out limits. Joel took care of everything from start to finish and even sent us home with cleaned fish. We can't wait for the next trip. Thanks Joel
