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. In addition, I am one of only a dozen Guides licensed to fish 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!
