Hello! I'm Captain Judd Field, the owner of Field Day Fishing.

I've been fishing for as long as I can remember, and it's always been more than just a hobby to me. Growing up in Astoria, Oregon, I've spent countless days on the water chasing salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon. Those experiences are what gave me such a deep appreciation for Oregon's fisheries and the outdoors.

With such a deep connection to fishing, I took on a role as a steelhead fishing instructor at Oregon State University — where I'm also earning my degree in Business Administration with a minor in Family Business. I taught students about fishing techniques, safety, conservation, and the joy of the experience. I care about helping people learn new skills and build confidence, whether they're picking up a fishing rod for the first time or looking to become better anglers.

Whether you're a beginner, a family looking for a fun day outside, or an experienced fisherman chasing the fish of a lifetime, my goal is to give you a safe, enjoyable, and memorable trip. I provide quality equipment, local knowledge, and work hard to make every trip a success.

When you book with Field Day Fishing, you're getting more than just a ride with a guide. You're getting someone passionate about Oregon fishing and committed to helping you create unforgettable memories.
