Columbia Basin Rainbow Trout

September 14th to March 23rd

The Columbia Basin is a well-kept secret fishing hot spot for Rainbow trout. It supports one of the healthiest and most robust populations in Washington, making it an excellent place to catch these fish! Columbia Basin rainbows can be well over 20 inches and up to 8lbs!

Wild Steelhead

December 1st to April 15th

Experience true pacific Northwest steelhead fishing the way it was meant to be, floating remote, hard to access rivers by raft in pursuit of aggressive, unpressured fish. These trips take you far beyond the crowds into wild, scenic water where every cast matters. Whether you’re swinging flies or learning the fundamentals, you’ll get hands-on guidance while targeting wild steelhead in some of the most untouched runs around. This is raw, authentic fly fishing where the grab is earned and the experience is unforgettable. A good pair of polarized sunglasses are critical for this trip.

Westslope
Cutthroat Trout

June 20th to September 14th

The Stehekin River is a wildlife sanctuary for these wild and robust Westslope Cutthroat Trout. With its gin clear waters, dry fly fishing is world class on the Stehekin River. Only being accessible by boat or plane gives these exclusive waters solitude and peaceful enjoyment. The glacial runoff seen in the water gives the river beautiful hues of blue and green that make it appear tropical. 

Smallmouth Bass

May 1st to June 22nd

Moses Lake is home to the best Bass Fishing in Washington State.  Smallmouth Bass fishing in Moses Lake and surrounding waters, should be at the top of the list for any angler looking to diversify their regularly targeted species. These amazing, acrobatic fish are often a fly fisherman’s favorite to target.

Largemouth Bass

May 1st to June 22nd

Fly Fishing for Largemouth Bass can be one of the most intense and rewarding experiences on a flyrod. Expect hard hits, multiple airborne attempts and a good long fight! Largemouth Bass range of all sizes and can reach up to about 12 lbs.

Lahontan Cutthroat Trout

April 1st to May 23rd

Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are the largest of the cutthroat species. They have been called “The last survivors of an ancient race of super trout”. The World record was landed in Nevada at 41 pounds.

Customers reviews

"If you want to like fishing more than you already do, book a trip with Chad Ashby!!! He navigates his raft through white water like a pro, and is all about safety. I booked a trip with him at Steheken and straight out of the gate we were catching some big dogs! As a first time fly fisherman, Chad was super patient and had me casting like a pro in no time. He is absolutely passionate about fishing and might get more excited than you do when you catch a fish haha. Best fishing trip of my life, 10/10 recommend!"
Zach Friend
"My husband and I had the most wonderful experience fishing with Chad, we did a full day trip. Chad was very attentive to me as I was the beginner fisherman on the boat, wade fishing and just handling the fly rod. We caught several fish, great lunch on the beach and beautiful experience on the river. If you're looking for a memorable fishing trip, Chad's your guy. Keith and I had the best time. Thanks for wonderful time on the river."
Deyon Brown
"I've fished hard for over 60 years in several countries and all types of fish. Many of these experiences have been using guides. Seriously, Chad truly stands out amongst the others. His fishing skills are exceptional and he is very open in sharing and teaching techniques including knot tying, appropriate fly set ups and presentation. Our float at times was challenging for the rower. He is a very experienced and safe boatman and a joy to spend a day with. Our enjoyment was his top priority and his exuberance when we caught a steelhead made the day. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Chad."
