You’ll receive hands‑on instruction, high‑quality gear, and unmatched dedication to creating “best‑day‑ever” moments on the water with friends or family. If you’re searching for a results‑focused yet family‑friendly Columbia River fishing guide, Blair’s Sport Fishing delivers memorable adventures you’ll be talking about long after the last fish hits the net.

Raised in the heart of Eastern Washington’s Yakima Valley, Captain James Blair discovered his calling to the Columbia River at an early age. Growing up near Toppenish, he spent countless hours trekking to the Yakima River and I‑82 ponds armed with nothing more than a life jacket, a rod, and a tackle box of Rooster Tails—an early gift from his step‑grandparents. Those solo outings shaped the self‑reliance and fish‑finding intuition he now brings to every guided trip as a leading Columbia River fishing guide. Adversity refined James’s passion for the water. After losing both parents to addiction and later his grandmother in a tragic accident, fishing became his sanctuary and motivation. Throughout high school and into adulthood, he walked riverbanks, logged catches, and studied seasonal migrations of salmon, sturgeon, and walleye. This hard‑won experience—paired with a deep respect for the river’s ecosystem—forms the backbone of Blair’s Sport Fishing, the guide service he founded to share the healing power of the outdoors. Today, Captain James is known for blending local insight with patient instruction. Certified, insured, and committed to conservation, he tailors excursions for novices and seasoned anglers alike, teaching reading water, lure selection, and responsible fish handling. His personal journey resonates with guests who value authenticity as much as tight lines, making him one of the most trusted names among Washington fishing guides. <h2>Fish the Columbia River in Comfort Aboard Our Custom Jet Sled</h2>Your day on the water unfolds aboard Captain James’s custom 23‑foot welded‑aluminum jet sled—purpose‑built for the Columbia’s changing depths and swift currents. Powered by a 250 HP outboard with a bow‑mounted electric trolling motor, the boat seats up to six anglers comfortably and features a walk‑through windshield, large fish box, and high‑quality electronics for precise navigation. Safety gear, premium rods, and species‑specific tackle are always on board, ensuring a stable, efficient, and productive platform for chasing Columbia River salmon, oversize sturgeon, or trophy walleye.
