FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have a fishing license?

Yes! A fishing license can be purchased for annual, 1, 2, 3, or 4 day use. We recommend ordering in advance through ODFW or in-person at the Rogue Outdoor Store.

Do you allow children to come?

We welcome people of all ages to be a part of the adventure with Gold Beach Guide Service. This is a fun & engaging experience for the whole family!

Will I need to bring angling tags?

You betcha! Oregon requires that we track the salmon and steelhead that are caught daily. We recommend ordering one with your fishing license so that everything is legal.

Our average rate is $250 per person for the day but prices are subject to change & fluctuate depending on the season & demand for services. For accurate rates & availability we recommend giving us a call so we can assist you further. 

Come prepared to

catch the big one

As one of Oregon’s top fishing guides, we want your trip to be as pleasant and memorable as possible! So the following items are recommended. All tackle and fishing gear will be provided – but feel free to bring your favorites if you have them.

Warm Clothes

On the Southern Oregon coast, climate is always changing. Wear multiple layers to stay comfortable in any temperature.

 

Rain Gear

Gold Beach sees about 80 inches of rain per year, so waterproof clothing is essential! A jacket is recommended at minimum.

 

A Camera

Capture every moment and bit of scenery on the river. We are equipped to take a photo of you with your catch at the end of the trip.

Sunglasses

No matter where/when we’re fishing, chances are high we will get some sun. Some polarized glasses are highly suggested!

 

Binoculars

Oregon is filled with diverse nature & wildlife, many of which we’ll encounter on the outing. Make sure you don’t miss any of it!

 

Food & Drink

Bring a lunch, snacks, drinks- and whatever else you’ll need to get by for several hours while we wait for the big catch.
