About Us
My name is Greg Darling and I am an Angler.
My fishing experience started over thirty years ago in the rivers and reservoirs of the Midwest as well as the Great Lakes and Canadian waters. I have fished for Sunfish, Crappie, Bass, Walleye, Pike, Carp, Striper, Steelhead, Salmon and Trout including tournaments for Bass and Walleye. It seems anything that has to do with fishing, I am attracted to it. I try to learn more all the time from different sources like books, magazines and seminars put on by pro bass fisherman. I have always had a passion for fishing which leads me to want to teach others, share with others and watch others catch fish.

My wife and I started vacationing in the Pacific Northwest and fishing the local waters. Here my passion grew even stronger with so much new and interesting water to explore. This gave birth to the idea of Gorge Guide Service. The dream of Gorge Guide Service came to reality three years ago when my wife and I relocated to the Columbia River Gorge. Besides all the great fishing for Steelhead, Trout and Salmon, I was most excited to find such a great population of Small Mouth Bass in the Columbia River that lies seemingly untapped and maybe overshadowed by other great sport fish.
My mission with Gorge Guide Service is to advance the technique of fishing for trophy Bass and enlighten others to this great sport. As I said in the beginning, I am an angler and several species are on my list to pursue including Steelhead, Walleye, Carp and Shad while using and developing fly rod techniques to take them.
This is the short story of how Gorge Guide Service became your premier source for Columbia River Small Mouth Bass fishing and I look forward to sharing more of my story and experiences with others.
