Welcome to Osprey Guide Adventures

 

Thank you for visiting Osprey Guide Adventures! My name is Bill Taylor, the owner/operator, living in Tigard, Oregon.  I provide guided trips for winter and summer steelhead.  I also provide guided trips for mushrooms and berries in our beautiful Oregon forests as well as trips for razor and bay clams on the Oregon coast.  These wonderful bounties are available to any one of us who is interested but might not be easily found by the untrained individual.  My guide services are directed at instructing you how, when, and where to find these delectable treasures along with responsibly harvesting them.  With the tools you gain from my guided trips, you will be able go out on your own in the future with a solid chance to obtain your quarries of interest.        

Steelhead

It was an outstanding winter steelhead season this year on the Oregon coastal rivers. Summer runs have been showing in our Willamette valley and coastal streams and it appears this year's runs should be pretty robust. Take a drift trip on the Santiam or Nestucca in chase of some summer chrome. Spring Chinook are also in these rivers at the same time and provide an added element, if not the main element, to the day's fishing.

Clamming

Razor clamming has been so good this spring that bay clams have been an afterthough, at least for me. Razors are at the top of the list of exquisite seafood fair, pan fried, barbequed, etc. Our lowest minus tide set of the year is beginning on June 2nd and lasting for week. It should be outstanding clamming.

Mushrooms

2012 Mushroom season is upon us! Morels are now popping up in our Oregon forests and will continue on in to June. King Boletes will follow right behind the morels, with Chanterelles coming on later in the summer. Enjoy a leisurely day in the woods getting to learn about these dilectible fungi and other mushrooms, plants, and trees. We might even get a legal harvest.

Berries

So far, so good for the fruit set up in the mountains with wild forest berries.  We’ve had a temperate and wet spring, which is a good combination for the flora in general.  Blackcaps and huckleberries await in the late summer forest.  Looking forward to the middle of July on in to September.
