It's an opportunity to create new memories, build lasting friendships, and enjoy the great outdoors!

Why This Trip is a Must-Join:

We’re setting off from Kalama, Washington, and will be fishing in the beautiful waters of Longview, WA. Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Pacific Northwest, this trip offers more than just fishing—it's about making new connections, sharing laughs, and pushing yourself to try something new. Imagine being out on the river, with the excitement of reeling in a massive Chinook or a stunning Coho, while taking in the natural beauty around you.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Expert Guidance: You’ll be joined by an experienced guide who will provide support and tips throughout the two-day adventure. No matter your skill level, our guide will ensure you’re set up for success.

  • Stunning Scenery: The Columbia River is nestled between Washington and Oregon, and the landscapes you’ll see while fishing are absolutely jaw-dropping. You’ll be surrounded by lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and expansive waters—a truly beautiful place to spend your days.

  • Catching Fish & Making Memories: Over the course of two days, each of us will have the chance to reel in our very own salmon (or two!). You’ll have the opportunity to catch 1 Chinook and 1 Coho or 2 Coho per day. With your catch in hand, you’ll feel a true sense of accomplishment and have stories to share for years to come.

Details You Need to Know:

About Chinook and Coho Salmon:

Both the Chinook and Coho salmon are prized for their unique flavors and sizes. The Chinook (also known as King Salmon) is the largest of the Pacific salmon, known for its rich, fatty texture and mild flavor—a true delicacy. The Coho (or Silver Salmon), though smaller, has a lighter flavor and is incredibly versatile in cooking. Whether you’re grilling, baking, or smoking your catch, these fish are sure to make for an unforgettable meal.

Please read carefully: All payments must be made by their due dates. If you anticipate a delay, we encourage you to communicate with us, and we will do our best to work with you.

FAQ’S AND POLICY

Yes, we know this part might seem a bit tedious, but it’s important! We kindly ask that everyone who registers for a trip visits the FAQs and Policy page on our website. If you sign up for a trip without reviewing this information, it’s your responsibility. There’s a wealth of valuable information there that could influence your decision. Please make sure to check out all the FAQs and Policies on our website before signing up for a trip with us. Thank you!


EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY

We want to ensure that every trip with Her Wilderness is enjoyable and memorable, but we acknowledge that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Mother Nature has a significant impact on our outdoor adventures, so we encourage you to approach each trip with a positive attitude and a "go with the flow" mindset. If this feels unreasonable to you, we kindly ask that you reconsider registering for our events. Weather can be unpredictable, affecting activities like hiking, hunting, and fishing, and our top priority is always your safety. For instance, if your trip is focused on duck hunting but our guide believes a goose hunt is more feasible, we will follow their expert recommendation. If this kind of flexibility is not something you're comfortable with, we encourage you to think twice about joining us. We expect all participants to maintain a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. Many of our trips have faced changes, cancellations, or rescheduling, yet the understanding and adaptability of the group have made all the difference that still allows for an incredible experience! We take pride in creating fun experiences, even in challenging situations. Please be aware that our trips may involve sharing accommodations with others, unpredictable weather that could impact planned activities, limited bathroom facilities for larger groups, and the possibility of not harvesting the specific animal you hoped for. These are real scenarios that can arise, and while we’ll do our best to minimize issues, they can happen. We strive to maintain a drama-free and stress-free environment. If any participant brings negativity or drama, they will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be allowed to return. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, so we ask for your cooperation in keeping a cool, calm, and collected attitude throughout the trip. We truly appreciate each of our customers and are committed to providing the best possible experience for all participants. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to creating unforgettable memories together!
