“Thank you, Jordan. For years, you have helped me build some of my greatest memories fishing Buoy 10 with my dad and sons. I can't say enough about the work you put in to make sure we catch our limit; you can be sure we will be using your guide service for years to come.”

“Pacific Drifter is an excellent choice for guided salmon and steelhead trips! Jordan is very knowledgeable, experienced and fun to be around. I've fished for multiple species with Jordan, and he always does a good job teaching people how to find and catch fish. Catching is never a guarantee but a good time is. He works very hard for the client, I've always felt like I got my bang for my buck. And regardless of no guarantees in regards to catching fish. I haven't came home unsuccessful when fishing with Jordan.”

– Graeson B.

“They don’t get better than Jordan. He is an amazing guide. He worked hard all day to ensure all of us on the boat caught fish. We were the last boat standing out there because he never gave up. We had a trip of a lifetime and we will be lifetime customers. Thank you Jordan!!!”

– Brent P.

“Jordan at Pacific Drifter is my favorite fishing guide because (1) he gets on fish, and (2) has the incredible work ethic to find fish if things slow down.  He’s very knowledgeable and versatile. I’ve been on several enjoyable and successful trips with him in every season in Oregon: winter steelhead, spring chinook, June hogs, fall chinook, coho, and more.  Highly recommend”

– E.S.

“I have fished with Jordan as my Salmon fishing guide many times. This guy gets you on the fish! I used him as my steelhead fishing guide a couple of times, and he definitely knows how to find them. Jordan goes over and beyond to take care of his clients. I've been with other Portland fishing guide,s and I feel Jordan just tries harder. He is definitely The man to call if you're looking for an Oregon fishing guide! You will not be disappointed!”
