KC’s Guided Fishing | Columbia River Basin | Salmon, Steelhead & Sturgeon 

Most of the guides we feature are Alaska-based, but every once in a while we fish with someone outside the state who is too good not to share. KC Talaro of KC’s Guided Fishing, LLC is exactly that.

KC is U.S. Coast Guard licensed, insured, and certified in First Aid/CPR, and his calm, patient, and knowledgeable presence on the water makes him a great fit for anglers of any age or skill level. KC specializes in hands-on techniques out of his sled or drift boat, putting the rod in your hands so you feel every cast, every bite, and every hook-up. This is not your typical charter experience. He runs top-of-the-line equipment including G. Loomis Rods and Shimano Reels, and keeps a clean, comfortable, and safe vessel. Whether you are planning a special occasion, a spontaneous trip, or a solo adventure, KC is known for being accommodating, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a fun and productive day on the water. Most of his year-round fishing opportunities are located within an hour of Portland International Airport, making it an easy and accessible option for out-of-state travelers.
