I like to troll for Salmon. I use a Delta Diver and a flasher and troll with the tides. I like to troll with Herring on a few rods, and I also like to troll with hardware on a few rods.

king Salmon can get up to 50 pounds, with 30 being the average. Coho Salmon get up to 20 pounds with 12 to 15 pounds being the average.

Astoria Oregon is a great place to be in August not only is there great Salmon fishing on the Oregon coast, there are plenty of things to do and I am sure your family will have fun.
Call Marvin’s Guide Service today and get in on the action.

Some people like to have there Salmon smoked, Which is very good but I say a fresh Columbia River Spring Salmon is too good of a fish to be smoked.

I like to filet the salmon, then take it and lay it on some foil, put some butter on the meat. I like to cut up some potato and carrots and maybe a onion. Really any vegetables you like, then I put the vegetables and potatoes on and all around the meat, now take that and set it on the BBQ, cook for around 15 to 20 minutes.

Now you have fresh Columbia River Salmon, potatoes and vegetables. Serve with a salad and garlic bread and you have a great dinner.

The Spring Salmon always taste better if caught with Marvin’s Guide Service….

We will find out next week what days we can fish, I can only hope that fish and game won’t screw us over this year. So if you want your shot at salmon fishing, you better call soon.

Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette River has been good, Squid or smelt has been a great choice of bait.

This time of year is a great time to start the day off trolling for Salmon, and the finish the day off fishing for Sturgeon.
Good luck fishing, and see you soon on the Columbia River.

Have your jet diver on about 18 inch line with a snap swivel hooked up to the jet diver, then on the other end of the line, I like to have a bead chain swivel. Slide the bead chain on to your line, now place 2 or 3 beads, what ever color you like. Then take a bead chain swivel and tie it to the end of your line.

Take some line I like to use 30lb test tie it to the bead chain, make this line 4 foot, now you can tie a quick fish to the end of the line or a spinner whatever you like.

The first Spring Salmon of 2010 on the Columbia River has been caught.

I do believe we are going to have a great season on the Columbia River for salmon!

One of the first places I like to fish for Spring salmon is on the Columbia River, trolling between the 205 bridge and the I 5 Bridge. This area has become very popular the last few years. So if you plan on fishing here, you better get your boat in the river Early in the morning.

I also like to fish for Spring Salmon in the Troutdale area, I launch my boat at Chinook landing.
When I am fishing here I like to anchor. I use a spinner here.

My Favorite place to fish for Spring Salmon on the Columbia river is up by the Dam, everybody knows this area called the Shad rack. This area on the Columbia River gets very very busy, so you might have to Anchor you boat at night. Hopefully Oregon and Washington will keep the River open long enough to fish at the shad rack.

Don’t forget Oregon and Washington are saying this should be the best run of spring salmon on the Columbia River since 1938.

Now were to fish? anchor or troll? I will be doing both, for me it all depends on the weather and the speed of the river. If I troll I only troll down river with 6 t0 10 oz of lead, I like to troll hearring, I want my sinker to hit the bottom every few seconds, When you get a strike there is no doubt the fish is there.

If we have lot of current I will anchor my boat. I like to use jet divers, let the line out about 50 or 60 feet behind the boat, put the rod in the holder,and then go sit under the top with a heater. When that spring salmon hits the diver, wow your fishing pole is doubled over and the fight is on!

If you are thinking of booking a spring salmon fishing trip call soon.

SALEM, Ore. — The technical committee advising Columbia River fishery managers has released its forecast for the 2010 spring Chinook run. If the fish show up as projected, the forecast of 470,000 spring Chinook would be the largest return to the Columbia since 1938.

The forecasted run is up significantly from last year’s final run of 169,300 fish.

One Place I like to fish for Spring Salmon on the Columbia River is between the I5 Bridge, And 205 Bridge.

There are a few ways to fish for Spring salmon, Like trolling hearing or spinners. I had my best luck trolling down river, I use about 6 oz sinker, I like to keep it right on the bottom.

I start my troll on the Washington side of the Columbia River and work my way down river.

One other way I like to fish for Spring Salmon is to anchor up, you have to have a good curruen to do this.

I will use jet diver and Quickfish.

This is great way to fish when it cold out because Marvin’s guide Service has a top and heater!

Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette River is starting to pick up. As the weather gets colder on the Columbia River, the fishing on the Willamette River should pick up.

Don’t be afraid to move around a bit to find the Sturgeon.

The best bate has been squid at least for me.

I have been fishing in the river I have been getting my limit every day.
From King Salmon to Sliver salmon.

Mot everybody on the water is catching fish

I like to troll with the tide you may think you are going to fast with the tide but it is OK.
We still have a few days open for King salmon fishing at buoy 10 Astoria Oregon so call me today.

In September we will be fishing for King salmon on the Columbia river in the Portland Oregon area.
Call for the best fishing date.

If you want to fish for the salmon in the Portland area on the Columbia River you will have to wait for the end of August for best fishing.

I like to start fishing the last weekend in August on the Columbia river right Down by the Portland Airport.
I anchor my boat in about 25 to 40 feet of water on the Oregon side.
I use anything from a quickfish to a wobbler.

If you do not have any current then you can troll.
