Come along for a look at fishing with Marvin’s Guide Service. These television segments and fishing stories take you onto the Columbia and Willamette Rivers for salmon and sturgeon.
I’m Marvin Henkel, an Oregon fishing guide licensed since 2000. Whether you have seen me on TV or are planning your first guided trip, these clips give you a taste of time on the water.

Join me on the water
TV fishing is fun, but you do not need a camera crew to enjoy a day on the river. Tell me what you would like to fish for, how many people are coming, and your preferred dates. I’ll help you choose a trip based on the season and conditions.
