About your Guide
Hi, I’m Talon Heuker.
I was born and raised in Warrendale Oregon, on the banks of the Columbia River, just below Bonneville Dam. I have been fishing the Columbia River since I was a child, spending every spring and summer chasing salmon. Growing up on the Columbia River, I have spent many hours learning where and how to target these fish, and I also have great knowledge of how to navigate this mighty river safely. A day spent fishing with me will be full of knowledge, laughs, and most importantly fish, while fishing in the most breathtaking views that Oregon and Washington have to offer.
