Meet Captain Kenny Rova

Captain Kenny of The Riverman Guide Service is a dedicated Lincoln Beach OR fishing guide whose passion for the water started at a young age. Growing up in Oregon, he spent countless hours fishing for salmon with friends, family, and his grandparents, building the foundation for a lifelong connection to the river. After a successful career in sales, Kenny returned home to pursue guiding full-time, driven by the same excitement and appreciation for fishing that shaped his early years. Those experiences continue to influence how he runs every trip today, creating a welcoming and down-to-earth atmosphere for every guest.

With decades of hands-on experience fishing Oregon’s rivers and time spent targeting salmon and steelhead in both local waters and the Puget Sound, Captain Kenny brings strong regional knowledge to every outing. As a trusted Oregon Coast fishing guide, he focuses on safety, preparation, and adapting to daily conditions to give guests the best chance at success. His approach is simple and effective, making him a reliable choice for anglers searching for family-friendly fishing charters in Lincoln Beach OR or guided salmon fishing trips along the Oregon Coast.

What sets The Riverman Guide Service apart is Kenny’s genuine focus on creating meaningful experiences on the water. He takes pride in helping guests build memories, whether it’s a child catching their first fish or a group enjoying time together on the river. His passion goes beyond fishing itself, rooted in sharing knowledge, respecting the fishery, and giving people a chance to connect with Oregon’s rivers in a personal way. That mindset has helped him earn the trust of guests who value both the experience and the results.

Trips take place aboard a 24 ft Willie Skiffs boat, designed for comfort and performance on Oregon Coast rivers. Powered by a Yamaha engine and capable of cruising efficiently, the boat is equipped with GPS and fish finder technology to help locate fish and navigate productive water. With space for up to 6 guests, it’s well-suited for small groups and families looking for a smooth and organized day on the river. Every detail is set up to give you a clear, comfortable, and productive fishing experience with The Riverman Guide Service.
