Welcome to The Fish House Guide Service

 We offer some of the finest fishing adventures in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Coast). We are different from the main stream. We look different, act different, and certainly fish different.  We have wonderful fisheries and crabbing in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.  With a combined 20 plus years of experience, we provide unique professionally guided fishing adventures, a level of personal service, and comfort not found in today's fishing community. We treat our clients as more than our friends, and really as a part of our extended family. We share your passion for the outdoors and place our full effort at making your adventure on the water special.  We fish a full day by jet boat or drift boat depending on where the best opportunity exists and your personal preferences. Only one party is booked per day. We do not mix groups to assure that the atmosphere of the trip is that which you enjoy.  Fishing for Winter and Spring Steelhead begins in December and remains excellent through April. Note; all Wild Steelhead are catch and release. However, photos and measurements can always be taken to preserve the moment, and hatchery fish are always present.  In late April, the move is made to Summer Steelhead and Spring Chinook, which grow in numbers through May and maintain strength through July.  Last but not least are the Fall Chinook, the largest fish of the year. We primarily bobber fish the quiet tidewater stretches of the coastal rivers, moving upriver with the fall rains. Fishing gets strong in mid September and continues through all of November for the prized King Salmon. Kings average 20 - 40 lbs. with fish over 50 lbs. not at all uncommon.  Please join our family for a superb day of fishing, crabbing, or sightseeing on some of the most beautiful coastal rivers such as the Nestucca River, Three Rivers, Trask River, Wilson River, Tillamook Bay, Santiam River, or other Willamette or Coastal Tributaries.  Come see us soon. You will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a significant change from the ordinary, contact us!  Cheers! Jesse and Sara Zalonis.
