If you’re looking for Steelhead, there’s nothing better than the John Day River in November. Most of these fish are Summer hold-overs seeking cool water before heading off to Idaho. These Steelhead fight hard, run and jump and charge the boat. If you let the the line get slack, they run in the opposite direction and jump and run hard. This is a blast on light tackle.

I got a phone call last week. Instantly I was intrigued. It wasn’t the normal guide trip.
I was asked if I would like to have them do the Comcast Sportsnet show “Adrenaline Hunter,” hosted by Bethy Rossos, on my boat. They wanted to fish for monster Sturgeon on the Columbia River and heard that I was the guide to do it! Of course I said, “yes that would be great!”

Tillamook Bay witch is on the Oregon coast has five different rivers that flow in to it, the Kilchis River, Trask River, Tillamook River, Miami River, and the Wilson River. The mixing of freshwater from the rivers with the ocean’s saltwater makes the bay an estuary. With the number of rivers flowing into Tillamook Bay, large numbers of salmon run through the bay to head back to their spawning grounds,this makes for some excellent salmon fishing.

I got a phone call today from the United State Coast Guard, they asked me if I would help them get the word out about safety on the water. So here is a link that they would like everybody to read, and please help get the word out.

Coast Guard Safety

August 2011,
It is open – the crazy fishery on the mouth of the Columbia River Buoy 10 King Salmon fishing. You should be excited about this one, I know I am. With big numbers of Chinook salmon, one of the best returns since 2004 predicted this year and a great run of Sliver Salmon it will be a wild time with lots of hook ups.

Columbia River is expected to have at least 760,000 Fall Chinook Salmon return this year! With numbers like that, plus the big numbers of Coho Salmon, it’s going to be a wild year of fishing for Salmon. You don’t want miss out on this great fishery.

Salmon fishing on the Columbia river follows.

COLUMBIA RIVER MAINSTEM, Tongue Point-Rocky Point line upstream to Beacon Rock deadline (boat and bank), plus the Oregon/Washington banks between Beacon Rock and Bonneville Dam

Willamette River Salmon fishing has still been good in the harbor area, both bait and spinners are catching Chinook Salmon.
With the high water you just need to clean your line of a little more often to make sure your bait or lure is working good.

Let’s talk a little about launching a boat, how to make it easy and safe for everybody.
Here are a few things I like to do before I back down the ramp.
