Fishing adventures for all!

Let’s Go Fishing!

Taylor Knight is the owner/operator of FishAbility NW guide service providing year-round fishing adventures for people of all abilities. Fishing experience is not required. Let’s go fishing and make great memories on the water! Serving Oregon and SW Washington.

I specialize in small groups up to four ensuring personalized instruction and attention. All fishing gear and bait is provided. I do work with other guides to accommodate larger groups. You just need to bring a license, snacks, drinks and dress for the weather.

Trips available range from first light salmon and sturgeon bites to casual days catching kokanee, trout or shad. Fisheries include Columbia and Willamette River salmon, sturgeon and shad as well as lakes for kokanee and trout. Check out our fishing trips page for more details.

If you need specific accommodations, let’s talk about how we can make your fishing trip as comfortable as possible. Service animals are welcome!

To show my appreciation for your service, discounts are available for active-duty service members, veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and teachers.

Please contact Taylor if you have any questions!

Client Testimonials

“Had a great trip with Taylor to Hood River for fall Chinook. She worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time and get their catch. She has top quality equipment and is very knowledgeable about different ways to catch salmon. Her boat is comfortable, roomy and clean. I’ll be booking with her again soon. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Taylor provides exceptional service. Her fishing knowledge is great—regardless of species. Her boat is spacious and superbly organized. I highly recommend Taylor as a guide and can’t wait to fish with her again.”

Cathy P.
“Taylor worked around our schedule. Once we were out there we didn’t catch anything for the first 3 hours. The whole experience was about us having fun. We did find sturgeon, then she let us stay longer catching and releasing big, fighting sturgeon. She had bait ready, poles ready and made sure we had hooks down for as much time as possible. Man, we wore out those sturgeon and even though we didn’t find a keeper. Great conversation, great service, great fishing. Worth booking if you like having fun and catching fish.”

"I’ve gone out with Taylor 4 times now and she is the best that I have ever used! On the last trip my friend and I caught our fall Chinook limit. The time before that, keeper sturgeon. Taylor got us right on top of them! We were on fire! We caught NINE sturgeon before the day was over! 1 flinger, 7 oversized, and one keeper! All of this while being guided by a knowledgeable, fun, charming, and funny guide. I can’t recommend this guide service enough!"

Matthew W.
"Take my advice and treat yourself to a day on the river with Taylor! She makes fishing fun and accessible to everyone. I always learn so much. She knows all the best spots and is well connected in the greater Portland-Vancouver fishing community."

Laura L.
"Taylor was hands down the best guide I have ever had. She was so knowledgeable and willing to share. Really easy to be on a boat with and super focused on us having a good time. I've had guides before who were demeaning or rude, hard to be on a boat with. Not Taylor, working with her could really make fishing enjoyable for anyone who wants to check it out up to experienced anglers. 10/10 I'm absolutely using this guide service again."
