Family & Beginner Friendly Fishing Charters in Oswego NY

There’s a common myth in fishing—that you need years of experience before you can enjoy a day on the water. At Hippiefish Guide & Charter Service in Oswego NY, we’re here to prove otherwise. Our family and beginner-friendly fishing charters are designed so anyone, from young kids to first-time anglers, can step aboard and have a safe, exciting, and successful fishing experience. You don’t need to know the difference between a spinner and a spoon—we’ll walk you through everything.

We’ve built our trips around the idea that fishing should be fun and approachable. That means using a safe, stable boat setup with plenty of room to move, top-quality rods and reels, and easy-to-handle gear so you can focus on learning and catching fish—not worrying about complicated equipment. Captain Joe Wallace, your Oswego River fishing guide, takes pride in creating a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged, and every fish you hook is celebrated. From the calm waters of the Oswego River to the open expanse of Lake Ontario, our routes are chosen to match your comfort level and keep the action steady.

For families, these trips are about more than fishing—they’re about shared moments and new traditions. Imagine your child’s smile as they reel in their very first brown trout, or the friendly competition between siblings over who caught the biggest salmon. We keep the atmosphere light and the instruction simple, so everyone feels like part of the team. Whether we’re trolling on Lake Ontario for coho salmon or drifting the river for steelhead, each outing is a mix of hands-on learning and laid-back enjoyment.
