If you are fly fishing on the Yakima, I'd vote for Charles Cooper.

I had the opurtunity to fish with Bob Ball a few weeks back on the Hoh. I've only fished with him once, but hands down I think he is the best guide I've fished with in the Forks area. On that particular day we outfished all boats on the river, not because of luck, but because Bob was willing to work harder and was always trying to figure out what to do next. I've fished 7 or 8 Forks area guides, enjoyed them all, but felt Bob worked the hardest to put me into the fish. For the Chehalis area hands down I say Chuck Wicken. He has two sleds and a drift boat and is willing to move around to find the fish.

For Cowlitz, Tillamook and the Columbia I would have to rate Clancy Holt as one of the best.

For around here I would say it is an even toss up between Scott Weedman, and Dave Lee. They really do know the local rivers!!!

If by successful you mean someone who is honest, knowledgeable, reliable and has a several year proven track record of putting customers on quality fish during enjoyable and memorable outings on the river--and has people ringing their phone off the hook to book with way in advance, I'd vote for: Letty Potter.

I've only fished with a few on the peninsula, and Jeff Woodward is by far the winner.

Before passing on, Jeff Sahar. At the take outs on the peninsula, we always had more and bigger fish. I really don't ever remember seeing Bob there though.

Peninsula - hands down - Bob Ball.
Southwest Rivers - without a doubt - Mike Sexton.

Haven't fished with any guides up here, but John Ball of Gimme-A-Go Guide Service has been fantastic. He fishes for pretty much anything in the Columbia River with focus on sturgeon and salmon.
