About Ross
Outdoor Adventures

A passion for the outdoors,
a family tradition

Ross Outdoor Adventures was began in 2003 by owner Shelby Ross after a lifetime of hunting and fishing Central Washington, and growing up near the south shore of Potholes Reservoir. At the age of 14 he was running his parents boats all over the lake chasing walleye, bass, and whatever else he could trick into biting.

Shelby’s career as a guide began in 1998, at the age of 19, guiding for Meseberg Adventures Duck Taxi on the Potholes reservoir. Soon he began guiding fishing trips, and offered airboat adventures for several years as well. 

Shelby raised his daughters with a love of the outdoors, Ross Outdoor Adventures, and both contribute to the business today.

Today, Ross Outdoor Adventures is the leading, year round, guide service on Washington State’s Potholes Reservoir, and other prime area lakes. From fall combination duck hunting and fishing trips to summer walleye adventures or winter waterfowl hunts, Ross Outdoor’s Adventures strives to make your outdoor adventure a memorable one.

Whether you just want to catch fish, introduce your youngster to spouse to fishing, are interested in learning a new body of water to fish with your own boat, or you want to learn how to fish the newest techniques for bass or walleye – Ross Outdoor Adventures will tailor your trip to match your goals for a great day on the water!
