From first-timers to seasoned anglers, there’s a spot on the boat waiting for you. Let’s plan your perfect day on the water.
My name is Halston West, and I live in Spokane Valley, WA with my wife and two young boys. Originally from Portland, I moved here in 2016 and quickly found home on the water.
I’ve spent years fishing Lake Roosevelt and chose it as my guiding base for its rugged beauty, great fishing, and the quiet stretches where you won’t see another boat all day. After building a career in the building materials industry, I realized my true passion was sharing these waters with others.
Whether you want to relax, learn, or dive in hands-on, I tailor every trip to fit your style. As a dad myself, I run a family-friendly charter where kids can reel in fish—or just run around the boat in between.
I’m USCG certified, WDFW licensed, fully insured, and CPR/AED certified—with safety always top of mind.
Dates fill fast, especially during peak seasons. Lock in your trip today and let’s get you out on the water — rods ready, boat prepped, and memories waiting to be made.
