Columbia River Fishing Adventures



A personal message from your guide, Buddy Dupell About the Guide  I grew up fishing for salmon and sturgeon in northwest Oregon’s Willamette River. As a kid, I remember seeing a few fishing guides working the river and thinking about how lucky they were to have the best job on earth. I was only 8 years old but I knew what I wanted my future to hold.  Well, here I am many years later working as a professional fishing guide. To tell you the truth, after years of guiding, I still think about how lucky I am to go fishing for a living. I must be dreaming!  I love what I do, and those who have fished with me will testify about the energy and passion I bring to the river each day. I cannot think of a better way to enjoy the day than hooking into a big sturgeon or salmon.
  I know what a lasting and memorable experience landing a big fish provides and after all these years, they still get my heart pounding. In 25 plus years of guiding for salmon and sturgeon, I have learned a thing or two about the Columbia River Basin fishing. I would love to share all of my knowledge with you and make some great memories.  My commitment to honesty is reflected by the number of repeat customers in my boat. I will not spin false fishing tales just to book a trip. I enjoy building lasting relationships with my customers that go far beyond the one-time trip.  When the salmon are biting better than the sturgeon, I will tell you.  If I think your trip will be more successful if you wait a few weeks, I will tell you.  My goal for you is a safe and exciting day on the water while catching lots of fish. And I will do whatever it takes to make that happen.  If that means getting on the water an hour before the other guides to get in the prime spot or re-anchoring four or five times to find where the fish are running, I will get it done.  When you hire me, I will do everything in my power to see that you have a safe and successful fishing experience!  Thanks, Buddy Dupell

Nicholson Yacht Charters Our History In 1949, on the remote island of Antigua, West Indies, the Nicholson family enroute to Australia on their 73 feet schooner, MOLLIHAWK, arrived at the Naval Base of English Harbour. Fascinated by the beauty and history of the island, they stayed for a while. At that time, the elegant Mill Reef Club was being built. Residents of the club could see the neighboring islands, but had no means to get to them. They saw the sleek, beautiful, elegantly appointed yacht, Mollihawk, anchored at Nelson’s Dockyard and asked Comdr. Vernon B. Nicholson to transport them, and a yachting business was born. The crew were his sons, Rodney and Desmond Nicholson and a professional chef.. Julie Pyle arrived in Antigua aboard Irving Johnson’s sailing brigantine, Yankee in 1954. She met and married Rodney and joined the company as Comdr.’s right hand person. The business grew! Many yachts and their crew, such as Freelance, Ron of Argyle, Georgiana, Boekanier, Xebec, Pan
