About the Captain
Chad Wiest finds himself lucky to be a fishing captain located in Eugene, Oregon as he is central to the finest fishing that Oregon has to offer.
Chad has been a fishing captain since 2011, which has provided him ample experience on a long list of rivers and all along the Oregon Coast. His love for fishing and the outdoors began at an early age and continues to grow to this day.
The wonder of what each day will bring with every sunrise, meeting new friends, and the ever-changing conditions on the water are what keep him hooked.
