Bill was an awesome guide. My boyfriend and I were visiting Portland from the East coast and he was kind and flexible enough to accommodate us for a fishing trip with only a days notice. We met Bill at Chinook Landing and he was waiting there with his shiny new boat. It was just us 3 all day fishing and hanging out and I have to say that he really made the trip enjoyable, relaxing, and made sure we had a good time catching fish! Thank Bill! Will definitely reach out again next time we are in the area

Wasn't even the biggest one we caught that day.

My son and I fished with Bill in mid-November. He's a great guide and kept us on the fish all day. We caught big sturgeon until our arms were so tired we didn't want to catch any more! Thanks, Bill for a great time.

My first Chinook!!!

Had an Awesome time fishing with Bill Green today! Went Salmon Fishing to start the day and in no time I landed my first ever Chinook ! An amazing feeling for a guy that is used to catching rainbow trout. We ended the day Sturgeon fishing in one of Bills secret spots ... Ended up catching and releasing over 20 sturgeon!!! Quite the workout as my arms feel like an old worn out Stretch Armstrong doll. Bill really takes the time to show his customers the how's and whys of fishing and there is never an awkward silence on his boat. Plenty of good fishing stories to be told. I highly recommend booking your next fishing trip with North Oregon Guide Service ... It's a blast. Thanks again Bill

Even tho we didn't meet our quota for the day it was still fun. Make sure to pack food and a jacket.

Caught over 20 sturgeon and two nice coho!  Family had a blast!

Great trip!! Nice, super clean and comfortable boat, easy going but very professional guy. Went home with two nice salmon and had a blast catching sturgeon! I'd book him again in a heartbeat.

Im not sure how successful folks are with catching fish in this large pond, but sitting by the dock…read moreis very peaceful. The lake is centered around the shopping mall so there are a few restaurant that overlook the lake. There are also ducks that live there.

Came here today with fishing friend who did some actual fishing. Nothing was caught (fish 1 -…read morehumans 0), but it was really OK, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my camping chair and watching the fish jump in the air and the world passing by. A few other people were down on the dock casting for fish, others sat on the various rock formations sort of zoning out, and it was a real pleasure to see the children and parents sharing something they really loved. If the youngsters aren't interested in the fishing, they can come down and feed the ducks - such fun. The water is so clear you can see down to rocks and plants on the bottom and also nearest the dock flashes of the goldfish as they glide along (these goldfish eventually grow into some very large carp). There are evidently some sturgeon as well along with the rainbow trout, and also lots of ducks and other water birds (a few still with babies). Oh yes, lots of dragonflies - flashes of black and fiery orange red - add to the charm. People who fish welcome you right into their society and talk readily about their fishing experiences and how the big one got away and even why. This is a terrific family experience and for those who want to come out alone. The best time is to come early, before 7, and especially after the lake has been re-stocked, if you want to catch some fish. But like I said, it's a wonderful experience whether fish are caught or not. Give it a try. And remember if you don't catch any fish, you can hike back up to the shopping center above and get some breakfast. Not a bad day at all, in fact a damn fine one if you ask me.

His knowledge of the area, the fish, and the best techniques was unmatched, and he was patient in explaining everything to beginners while also offering great tips to more experienced anglers. Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but we also learned so much along the way. Matt went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and excited throughout the trip. You can he loves what he does, and that passion makes the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional fishing guide who will make your trip both successful and enjoyable, I can't recommend Matt enough! We'll definitely be booking again.

However, we had the opportunity to catch and keep sturgeon only if it was between 44-50 inches; which occurs twice in a year. From beginning to start, Matt was super helpful with providing gear for me as it was my first time fishing. His boat was top of the line compared to the rest on the river that day. It had a hot water sink and very comfy chairs to sit in. He also had beers, waters on dec and had anti-nausea meds on board which was great for me since I was feeling sick. After 5 minutes, my boyfriend caught his first sturgeon that was 47 inches. And I caught one four hours later that was 45 inches. He allowed us to reel it in (which was a struggle for me, but worth it) and he took great photos after. We were the only 2 people that day to catch and keep our sturgeon. We couldn't have had a better experience and we got so lucky that day thanks to Matt! He ended up filet-ing our sturgeons and took 15 pounds of it home. It was the highlight of our trip to Portland. And we plan to come back in the spring once salmon season starts. If you're thinking about booking a trip with him, DO IT. You won't regret it!

I got lots of compliments and lots of kids gathered to see her sail by. Spent about an hour sailing her til the batteries went dead. And the she sat in the middle of the pond with no motors to speak of and no breeze to blow her ashore for about 30 minutes til this young man came to the shoreline where I stood and said sir I just happened to have an r/c speedboat at home. I live just across the street. I said please go get it and I will make it worth your efforts. Lol my ship cost me 100 bucks...this kid comes back with a 600 dollar Sonic Wake super catamaran speedboat capable of doing over 120 mph on the water. I just about had a cow. So he let me putt his speedboat out and gently nudge my ship to the dock. I said thanx and he said go ahead take mine for a spin. That cleared from 1 side of the pond to the other in less than 15 seconds!! It woulda took my ship about 15 minutes to sail it. What a fun day. I offered the boy 10 bucks and he said naw it was worth to see me giggle like a little kid as I drove his boat passed 3 girls spraying them with the rooster tail his boat makes.

let me weave a little magic into your Selwood Riverfront Park love letter! Picture this: you park…read moreyour car at Selwood Riverfront Park, that hidden gem tucked along Portland's Columbia Riverfront. It's not just a spot to leave your wheels-it's your gateway to paradise. The air hums with possibility, crisp river breeze carrying whispers of adventure. I swear, every visit feels like stepping into a painting where the Willamette and Columbia collide in a glorious, shimmering embrace. You're not just starting a walk; you're embarking on a love affair with the city's heartbeat. From here, Selwood's charm sets the stage-grassy lawns stretch lazily toward the water, perfect for a quick dog stretch or a stolen moment of calm before the loop begins. It's like the park winks at you, saying, Ready to fall for Portland all over again? Now, you hit the path toward the Steel Bridge, and holy wow, it's a sensory overload in the best way. The Columbia River stretches out, vast and majestic, like nature's own IMAX screen. Sunlight dances on the water, turning ripples into liquid gold while sailboats glide by like elegant swans showing off. Buildings tower on the horizon-sleek, historic, and everything in between-framing Portland's skyline like a postcard you didn't know you needed. People bustle past: joggers in neon, dog walkers with wagging sidekicks, and maybe a kid chasing dreams (or bubbles). It's grand, alive, and somehow intimate, like the city's letting you in on its secrets. I get chills just thinking about it-this loop isn't a hike; it's a front-row seat to Portland's soul. You'll catch fishermen casting lines, kayakers slicing through waves, and that one guy on a tandem bike who always looks thrilled (and slightly terrified). Halfway through, the dog park at Selwood steals the show-trust me, it's a riot. Pups of every shape zoom around like caffeinated rockets, yipping and wrestling in clouds of grass dust. Your own furry friend dives into the fray, tail wagging like a metronome on overdrive, and suddenly you're grinning at strangers who get it-these dogs don't care about your day; they just want zoomies! Kids laugh, owners sip coffee from overpriced but worth-it mugs, and the whole scene feels like a community hug. It's messy, joyful chaos that grounds you after the river's grandeur. This park isn't just a pitstop; it's where the loop's magic lingers, reminding you why you keep coming back. Pro tip: bring treats, and you'll be everyone's hero (especially the golden retrievers). By the time you circle back to Selwood, sweaty, happy, and probably craving tacos, you realize it's not just a walk-it's Portland's love letter to you. The Steel Bridge loop, starting from your favorite parking spot, isn't nice; it's life-affirming. Grand views, goofy dogs, and city swagger all wrapped in one two-mile hug. Do it at golden hour for sunset sorcery, or midday when the river sparkles like it's flirting. Either way, Selwood Riverfront Park is your launchpad to Portland's best-kept secret. I'm booking my dog for a playdate-join me?
