Guide Thor Ostrom

Columbia River Guided Fishing Trip

Thunder Outdoors, led by the seasoned Captain Thor Ostrom, offers guided fishing trips along the Columbia River in Richland, Washington. With a deep understanding of local waters and years of experience, Captain Thor brings both skill and passion to every trip. The Columbia River is a prime location for anglers, offering an ideal blend of scenic surroundings and reliable fishing action. Target species include Salmon, Walleye, and Sturgeon, and trips are designed for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're planning a solo trip, a family outing, or a day with friends, Thunder Outdoors creates a laid-back, well-prepared fishing experience tailored to you.


Guests meet at Riverfront Trail in Richland, where the adventure begins. Safety is a top priority, especially for younger participants who are required to wear life vests during the trip. Captain Thor provides basic refreshments, but you're welcome to bring your own drinks (just no hard liquor or glass containers). It's recommended to pack essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and snacks. Fishing licenses and species-specific tags may be required, and Captain Thor is happy to help with guidance. With Thunder Outdoors, every trip is a chance to enjoy good fishing, great company, and the natural beauty of the Columbia River.

The Columbia River is a vital natural resource in the Pacific Northwest, stretching more than 1,200 miles from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. Known for its expansive landscapes and rich biodiversity, the river offers a mix of forested banks, open plains, and mountainous backdrops. This dynamic environment supports a range of recreational and commercial uses, and its role in regional history, ecology, and infrastructure makes it one of the most significant rivers in North America.


Thunder Outdoors Fishing operates along several prime sections of the Columbia River, including Lake Wallula and the Franklin County Irrigation Canal. These waters are home to sought-after species like Salmon, Walleye, Steelhead, and Sturgeon. Anglers of all skill levels come here for productive fishing in naturally beautiful surroundings. Guests meet at Riverfront Trail in Richland, WA (99352), a convenient and scenic starting point for a well-organized day on the water.
