Meet Your Guide

Capt. Jesse Blevins has been chasing Washington’s salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and walleye since 2018, and has guided full-time since 2020. It’s a true family operation — Jesse, Megan, Averi, and Bailey, who earned the nickname “Hoggslayer” honestly. Jesse runs relaxed, structured trips out of Naches and travels statewide to put you on fish.

What Folks Are Saying

★★★★★

“Best day on the water we’ve had in years. Jesse put us on fish all morning and both my boys landed a king. Cooler was full before lunch.”

Mike R. · Fall Chinook · Columbia Gorge

★★★★★

“First time salmon fishing and Jesse made it easy and fun — patient with the kids, knew right where to go, and we limited out. Already booked next summer.”

Sara T. · Sockeye · Brewster

★★★★★

“Booked a walleye trip with the guys and had a blast. Great boat, great guide, non-stop action, and a cooler of the best-eating fish around.”

Dave K. · Walleye · Kettle Falls
