Specializing in Steelhead and Salmon Fishing in the Great Northwest.

 


Meet Your Guide


My name is Paul Ockerman and my goal is to make your fishing trip comfortable, successful, safe, fun, and personalized.  I would enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with you fishing for salmon and steelhead on Washington’s premier rivers using a variety of techniques and top-notch gear. 

I am both licensed and insured to fish for salmon and steelhead.  Most recently I was granted a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License.  In addition, I am one of only a dozen Guides licensed to guide in the incredible Olympic National Park on the Queets River. 

I have been fishing for over 35 years on these beautiful Northwest rivers.  I operate a 2007 Riverwolf drift-boat that has diamond-plate level floors, padded seats, and a heater with a blower.  I can accommodate up to three clients on this boat (depending on technique being used, sometimes only two can fish at a time).  My jet-sled is a 2007 20’ Alumaweld with padded seats, lots of room, and plenty of power.  I can accommodate up to 4 clients very comfortably.  

I am skilled using a variety of techniques including side-drifting, back-bouncing, spinners, plugs, floats, and bait-divers.  Book a trip with me and I will ensure you are not disappointed!

Equipment


I utilize top of the line St. Croix rods with ABU Garcia reels on casting rods and Okuma Epixor reels on spinning rods.  I have rods for each different technique making switching from one technique to another fast and effortless.  I believe you’ll find my equipment very dependable and enjoyable.  I prefer you leave your gear at home, although it may be nice, I will have my gear ready to go and will be set up for the type of fish we are pursuing. 

In addition to providing all the equipment, boat, and knowledge, I will take digital pictures of you and your big catch and send them to you via email or mail copies to you.  The pictures will also be posted on my web-site for others to enjoy.

   

You must provide:

Warm layered clothing, rain gear, hat, sunglasses, shoes or boots, camera, lunch, snacks, and beverages.   You must have a current, valid Washington State license and catch card for targeted species.

*I have extra rain gear, hats, gloves and oversized floatation vests upon request.

Cowlitz Steel

March 16, 2012

Thanks to everyone who booked a trip with me and fished this winter!  We had some incredible fishing peaking in March with 97 fish hooked and 59 landed in four weekends.  I'm only booking a few summer-run fishing trips with groups of 4 on the Cowlitz, and taking the rest of the summer off 1to scout for elk and prepare for Roosevelt Elk Outfitters.  We have already booked some trips to hunt these incredible Roosevelt Elk and have more slots available for those that want to get in on the inaugural year discount.  Check us out at: www.rooseveltelkoutfitters.com
