Spring Chinook Salmon fishing is scheduled to go to April 6, but could go longer if enough fish are available for harvest.

Harvest guidelines adopted by the two states will allow fishing below Bonneville Dam to catch and keep up to 14,500 hatchery spring Chinook before the run forecast is updated in May.

Spring Chinook fishing is currently open to boat and bank anglers on a daily basis from Buoy 10 near the mouth of the Columbia River upstream to the Interstate 5 bridge. Under the new rules adopted, the sport fishery will expand upriver to Beacon Rock from March 1 through April 6. During that period, the sport fishery will close on three Tuesdays March 20, March 27 and April 3 to accommodate commercial gill net fisheries.

Starting March 1, fishing downriver from Bonneville Dam you may keep one hatchery adult spring Chinook as part of the daily catch limit. Above the dam, you may keep two marked adult spring Chinook salmon per day effective March 16.

Call Marvin’s Guide Service and get hooked up in a heated a covered boat.

I suggest if you go fish the Bonneville Pool that you use as light of fishing rod as possible because the Sturgeon are biting very soft, and you don’t want to miss a bite. Most salmon rods will suit this light winter bite perfectly.

I don’t see the season lasting long, so if your thinking about going, quit thinking and go. You are allowed to keep Sturgeon 7 day’s a week for now. But I would check with fish and game before you head out, as they are talking about making it a 3 day fishery. ODFW and WDFW will decide on all sturgeon regulations for the year in just a couple weeks.

Well, How about fishing in Portland Oregon with Marvin’s Guide Service because we have a covered and heated boat, an we will do some winter Sturgeon fishing!

In November and December we will be Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River around the mouth of the Willamette River; this always provides some great fishing action.

January we will be fishing on the Colombia River above Bonneville Dam, around Cascade Locks, Oregon. This fishery is usually allowed 7 days a week and you will find plenty of fat Sturgeon here.

Don’t forget about the Willamette River! We’re still waiting to hear from ODFW on the opening day, it might be as early as January 1st, or later in February. I can tell you this: when the Willamette opens it is going to be some Wild Sturgeon fishing, and, as always, the Willamette River won’t stay open for Sturgeon fishing very long.

If you would like to get on the list to fish the Willamette River when it opens please call now and I will get you on the list. Days go fast for Willamette River Sturgeon fishing. On the Willamette you are only allowed to keep Sturgeon 3 day’s a week when it opens; Thursday-Saturday.

Call now and book a day for sure in Cascade locks in January for some Winter Sturgeon fishing This should be a 7 day a week fishery.

Were To Fish In The Winter Portland Oregon is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

We set the date to hook up on September 29th. We meet up at The Fishery on the Columbia River at 6am, well before sunrise this time of year. After we talked for a bit, we headed down to the river. Man, let me tell you, we were really up for a challenge. The east wind was blowing around 30 mph making conditions tough – and most resident fishermen can tell you, east wind usually turns the bite off.

I had Bethy Rossos in my boat, a producer and one camera man. My friend Mark, who is also a guide, was helping out in his boat with the rest of the camera crew. His job was to follow us around and try to get the best shots for the camera guys. I take my hat off to Mark, he did a great job keeping his boat on the spot, especially with that wind. Thanks, Mark.

We got our first line out in the water, and, as I was getting the 2nd rod ready, BAM! The first rod is going off and we get a fish on! That line was not in the water two minutes! I know I should almost be used to it, that first-line-bite has been good to me this year. You will have to watch the show to see how big the Sturgeon was, but if you’ve been out with me recently, I’d bet you could make a good guess.

The day ended up with four big Sturgeon, so it was a great day of Sturgeon fishing, even with the east wind blowing very hard. I will tell you this, Bethy Rossos is one tough woman, and I was lucky to get to meet a person like her. I look forward to fishing with her again.

Be sure to watch the show to see all the great action, I will come back to this post and update when I know the date it will air

I want to give a big thank you to Comcast Sportsnet and Bethy Rossos for using Marvin’s Guide Service for “Adrenaline Hunter.”

So I headed down river from the fishery about 3 miles or so, I got my boat all lined up in one of my favorite spots to fish, we were in 73 feet of water, I tied a shad on the first rod and set it in the rod holder, did the same with the 2nd rod, and as I was baiting up my rod the first rod got a strike, and fish on, don’t think we had are lines in the water 5 minuet, then about 30 minuets later we had a 9 foot Sturgeon up to the boat.

After a few high fives we got are line back out, and I would say in around 10 minuets we had another Sturgeon on, this one was about 7 foot, landed and let go.

20 minuets later we had fish number 3 on about 8 foot, Duane and Denny are getting tired this fish are tough.

Then things kind of slowed we got about 10 or so Small Sturgeon, then all the sudden Duane sets the hook on one of the rod, line was just screaming off the real so the battle was on Duane fought this fish he was not going to give up, for a hour an a half, when we finely landed this huge Sturgeon well over 9 foot and 500 pounds.

Denny and Duane said they were tired and had a blast catching Sturgeon, and decided to call it a early day.
I hope tomorrow will be as good Salmon fishing for Duane and Denny as we will be hooking up at the boat ramp at 6:15 tomorrow morning.

One of the fist places I will be Salmon fishing is down by the I 205 bridge on the Columbia River. You can fish a few different ways here one way I like to fish is trolling with a jet diver and an Alvin wobbler. Also sitting on the hook works great with a Alvin when the water is moving enough.

Next up, mid-September will be on the Columbia River just below Bonneville Dam. I will be back trolling with a jet diver and a quick fish. You don’t want to miss out on September salmon fishing on the Columbia River, this is a great time to put some fresh Salmon in you freezer.

After September 10th you will be allowed to keep to Chinook Salmon on the Columbia river.

Salmon fishing Portland Oregon is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

I’m going to talk a little bit about how and where I like to fish when working Buoy 10 around Astoria, Oregon.. Note, this is a big river with lot’s of good places to fish for Salmon, so these places are not all inclusive.

Early in the season I like to Salmon fish at Buoy 10 on a incoming tide. I will start my troll at the buoy and start trolling up river with the tide I go around 2 miles then head back to buoy 10 and start fishing again.

One of my favorite spots have to be the sawdust pile, witch is located up river from the Hammond boat launch on the Oregon side a few miles, I like to fish out by the green buoy, again I troll with the tide.

I will rig up 2 fishing rods with a delta diver and then pull a fish flash, and a herring, then I will rig up 2 fishing rods with a lead as my dropper then use a fish flash and a spinner, size of lead depends on tide, anywhere from 12 to 20 oz is what I like.

Sturgeon must be between 38 inch and 54 inch to keep, you may keep one Sturgeon each, you may catch and release after you tag your Sturgeon. Good luck, and be safe out there.
