Keys To The Outdoors

541-294-4987

Hi, I’m Shannon Keys, your guide and owner of Keys To The Outdoors. Growing up on the southern Oregon coast allowed me to become your expert for fishing the local rivers, bay, and ocean. The Coquille River is considered my home river, however, we can also fish the Umpqua, Elk, and Sixes depending on where the fish are and where YOU want to fish.

You will also find that I have the licenses and equipment to take you on the rivers or out in the ocean to catch salmon and bottom fish when the weather and tides cooperate. Of all the fish you have access to, I personally enjoy catching Salmon and Steelhead because they are true fighters and reeling them in can be exhilarating! The southern Oregon coastal rivers have big runs of each which can keep you on the rivers most of the year. You'll be very comfortable in the 25' river boat with a windshield to block any chilly air while underway on the big motor.

Whether fisning tidal waters (in a "sled" style boat) or upper river fishing (a drift boat), you'll find the right equipment for our water conditions. You won't believe how stress free, easy and FUN your guided fishing trip will be and we love to host kids!

Give me a call at 541-294-4987 and lets talk fishin! We can get you on the calendar for a Salmon or Steelhead trip that you soon wont forget. God Bless .... Shannon Keys

Testimonials

Great trip. Limited by shortly after noon.Shannon is exceptional. Knowledgeable, hard working, personable. Sincerely wants you to have a great experience and catch fish. Little details like bleeding and icing catch immediately, filleting and bagging your fish Is icing on the cake. You won’t be disappointed. We sang his praises all the way back to Florence! He even gave us his family marinade recipe!

Had a fantastic fishing trip with Shannon and three of my friends. Shannon was able to find where the fish were to make sure we all caught our limit. Very knowledgeable fisherman in all aspects. His fishing gear is good quality and well taken care of. Shannon's boat has plenty of room and comfortable. Had a great time and highly recommend "keys to the outdoors" for a Charter Boat trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed fishing with Shannon not only did we put fish in the boat it was a fun trip. The best part was the ability to fish the river or the ocean. Thanks Shannon for a great trip!.
