Welcome to

Greg Nicol Guide Service

If you are looking for a “Guided Drift Boat” Fishing Trip in Oregon or California - well that is our specialty.  We drift the serene Chetco in southern Oregon and occasionally the Elk, and Sixes.  In California we drift the beautiful Smith River in the heart of the Majestic Redwoods.  Make a life long memory of fishing for that Fall King Salmon and Fall and Winter Steelhead.

I have over 30 years of professional experience in the Outfitting and Guiding Industry.  I am Licensed and Bonded, I have held an Oregon license since 1981, and California license since 1979.  I am also a member of the Rogue River Guides Association in Oregon. I work under permit from the US Forest Service which the permit area is located in the Rogue River - Siskiyou National Forest, Gold Beach Ranger District. 

We are always happy to help you make all your reservations, and we welcome large groups. have been a board member of the Smith River Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery, working to make your trip successful by having fish in our rivers.  I have also been a member of the Smith River Advisory Board which makes recommendations to California Fish and Game governing the Smith River. Some of these recommendations have become law.  We had the foresight years ago, that we needed to do something to save this wonderful resource.  The changes we made back then have made it possible today on the Smith River to retain a native fish, although that is discouraged. The Smith River in California is the only river in the state that you can do that on.

Thanks for your time in stopping by our web site.  Take a look around, check out our fishing report, look at out our current season's fish pictures.  Send us an email or give us a call if you have any questions, we look forward to hearing from you.
