Welcome to Fishing the North Coast with Guide Kenny Priest

Kenny Priest operates Fishing the North Coast, a fishing guide service based out of Humboldt County specializing in salmon and steelhead. I offer guided fishing adventures in Northern California on the Klamath, Smith, Eel, and Van Duzen rivers. I hold a Merchant Mariner Credential from the United States Coast Guard (USGC) and I’m licensed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. I am fully insured and bonded, and safety is always a top priority.

I am on the Board of Directors for the Nor-Cal Guides and Sportsmen’s Association (NCGASA.org) Please visit the website for more information. I’m also the chairman of the Humboldt County Fish and Game Advisory Council.

My fishing reports are featured in the Friday edition of the NorCal Fishing Reports and My Outdoor Buddy website. I also write a biweekly fishing report for Western Outdoor News. You can also hear me on KMUD’s Hunting, Fishing, and Ranching radio show the second Tuesday of each month. Click on my Recent Posts tab on the right of this page for weekly fishing reports.

I cover all things fishing for rivers, ocean, lagoons, and lakes in Humboldt and Del Norte County. You can text me at (707) 496-8671 or kenny@fishingthenorthcoast.com if you have any questions.
