Klickitat River – Salmon and Steelhead Fishing

Klickitat River – Salmon and Steelhead Fishing

by Mark Zoller | Feb 15, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Fishing trips, Klickitat River

Recently I read an article which claimed that we as humans get a euphoric charge out of hearing our phones go off with a text. Hmmm, could be true. However, if you want to get a true CHARGE out of a surprise message just wait until an explosive steelhead or charging...

Customer Reviews

  •   This family owned business has been running the White Salmon River for a LONG time and it is evident! Their knowledge of the history and the rapids of the river... read more were both outstanding. We had a blast with our guide Zach, who kept us safe and having fun, even when we took him to places on the river he hadn't seen in 8 years :). I can't recommend this enough! We had four beginners ranging from 16 to 52... I was the only one who had gone before, but it had been 25 years. If we make it back to he area, we will DEFINITELY do this again. Maybe this time we'll take on the (optional) Class 5 Waterfall (probably not).

  •   Our experience with Zollers Rafting was top-notch from beginning to end! My family (husband, myself, and 13 y/o daughter) had an absolute blast on our mini-raft adventure on the White... read more Salmon River, and have no doubt you will too!

    Their building (gift shop, changing rooms, bathrooms, and instructional area) is awesome! Such a nice set-up....so before you are even on the river; the stage is set for a great experience. Their location on the river is fabulous--short walk and you are set to get started on your journey, and no lugging the raft down to the water prior to your trip (nice touch!)

    Shane, our guide; was fantastic, he was freindly, and super knowledgeable about the river, local geology, etc. He kept us entertained the entire time, all while keeping our safety his priority.

    The river had the perfect combination of rapids to keep you on your toes, and calmer areas to give you the opportunity to take in all the breathtaking scenery surrounding you the entire trip! The water was COLD (so take advantage of all the warm, cozy gear Zollers provide)

    In between the rapids and gorgeous scenery; the guides allow for a couple of "extra" experiences (jumping off a little cliff into the water, drinking from a fresh water spring, riding the front of the raft "rodeo" style). These little extras the guides take the time for-- are what really made this rafting trip my daughters absolute favorite that she has ever done! (This was her 3rd river).

    We have zero complaints or suggestions for improvement. Rafting on the White Salmon River was fantastic and Zollers Rafting made it unforgettable!

  •   This was our 3rd trip to Zollers over the last 10 years and our 5th rafting trip overall. We keep going back to Zollers because when it comes to... read more rafting it's not worth saving $10 a person, it's about getting the best outfit with the best gear and the best experience. Our 1st trip to Zollers was okay, our second was fantastic and our last was amazing. It's all about the guides and they have some of the best, however this year we got Ben. We cannot say enough good things about him, he took us not only on a rafting trip but an adventure. He takes the time to do the little things we will remember. We all go for whitewater, but it's the little moments like drinking from a spring, surfing a rapid, entering a cave, or running Husum Falls, you will get it all! You can tell Ben loves his job and does everything he can to help you have the best adventure possible. We were a group of 7 and he did everything and more than the boats of 4. He was very knowledgable, which for our family made an experience we will never forget. I will say Zollers should add $5 and add snacks and water for the group! Tips, bring your own dry bag for one cell phone, snacks. Where we recommend you buy the pictures, if you had your phone on the lower section, you'd get some unreal pictures, just beautiful!
