Title: Columbia River Guides
Post by: turkey slayer on December 23, 2009, 02:02:58 PM: I was wondering if anyone knew of anybody that guided on the Columbia for duck. I have some clients that would like to shot canvasbacks and redheads and a few other divers.

Thanks slayer

This year you can shoot 1 canvasback and 2 redheads for your daily limit.

I may be biased because he's a former college roomate but he gets tons of geese and ducks...and deer and turkey for that matter. He has a ton of land leased around Brewster/Omak/Pateros/Bridgeport www.okanoganvalleyguideservice.com

kbyers,

I thought I did but I talked to him last night and he said that he wouldn't be able to do it. I hate it when the real job gets in the way of the fun one.

Oldguy, I would give a heads up call to Fred....I saw him a few weeks ago at the boat ramp he mentioned he was going to visit you..
