Winter Steelhead Jet Boat Day Trip
January to April
About the Clackamas
On the Clackamas River we target steelhead just minutes from the Portland airport. Long runs, choppy riffles and sweet hidey holes are everywhere on the Clackamas if you know where to look. With perfect water for the swung fly, chrome fish arriving daily, and a stunning mountain view, the Clack is the perfect choice for the spey rod angler.
This is how you get up and down The Clackamas! When time is limited, or for options aplenty, the jet boat puts you on the water and in the action. Fast.
What to Expect on Your Single Day Jet Boat Trip
Variety and options abound on the Clackamas. With the speed and versatility of the jet boat we can cover many different sections of the river – often without other anglers around. During low-water times, the drift boat comes in handy.
Guided jet boat trips cover the best waters of the river, timing our fishing locations to optimize our results. Full day trips may cover many miles or just a few depending on where the fish are. The mobility of the jet boats helps us “stay in the fish”. Hot riverside meals are served with your full day of jet boat fishing.

Cancellation Policy:
Being a small business and guiding on Oregon’s finest Waters, cancellations affect us greatly. When WTO reserves your fishing date, we allocate precious resources to that time frame. Each season affords us only a small window to maintain our company as a small, family-run business thriving amidst the ups and downs of NW fisheries. Cancellations received 60 days in advance of the trip date will receive a full refund. Any cancellations received less than 60 days from the trip date we will do our best to reschedule your trip if possible, but last-minute changes are often difficult as we are booked well in advance and deposits will not be refunded. We recommend purchasing trip insurance to protect you against unexpected changes to your travel plans. When weather and water conditions do not allow us to fish, we will refund your deposit in full or reschedule your trip to an agreed-upon fishing date.
