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.

Also, because of the saltwater in estuary, Tillamook Bay holds some of Oregon’s best Crab fishing around. Can’t get much better then that, Pots full of Crab, and King Salmon on the line.

October is generally regarded to be the time to spend in Tillamook Bay for King Salmon fishing. Reports are coming in a little bit early this year with great Salmon fishing in the bay, and pots full of crab. Fishing and crabbing in Tillamook is just going to be better in October.

When you go fishing in Tillamook Bay with Marvin’s Guide Service we will drop up to four crab pots into the bay. Through the day, between fishing areas, we’ll stop in and check the traps, sort crab and re-bait as necessary. At the end of the day, Marvin’s Guide Service will cook and clean the crab for you, along with the King Salmon you may catch! Call us today and get hooked up in Tillamook Bay with some Salmon and crab fishing.

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.

Fall Chinook Salmon Return Columbia River is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

With the Columbia River running fast, I would suggest anchoring instead of trolling.

Here is a look at the rules again.

COLUMBIA RIVER MAIN-STEM, from Buoy 10 up River to Rooster Rock State Park
is Open for retention of adipose fin-clipped Chinook salmon and adipose fin-clipped steelhead 7 days per week from April 8 through April 15.

Daily bag limit is 2 adult Chinook salmon/steelhead in combination, of which only 1 may be an adult Chinook salmon.
Up to 5 adipose fin-clipped jacks may be retained in addition to adult fish.
The upstream boundary of this area is defined as “A true north/south line from Rooster Rock on the Oregon shore across the river to the Washington shore”.

COLUMBIA RIVER MAIN-STEM, Rooster Rock State Park to Bonneville Dam
Open for BANK ANGLING ONLY. Retention of adipose fin-clipped Chinook Salmon and adipose fin-clipped steelhead allowed 7 days per week from April 8 through April 15.
Daily bag limit is 2 adult salmon/steelhead in combination, of which only 1 may be an adult Chinook.

Good luck out there, and be extra careful with the fast water.

If you are using a kwikfish make sure its in tune, try to make it runs straight. If the kwikfish is going to the left or right bend or twist the eye of the kwikfish in the opposite direction in witch you want it to go. Make small changes until the kwikfish is going nice and straight.

Kwikfish colors, I have had some good susses with chartreuse, but don’t be afraid to try different colors.
I also like to use a bait wrap on my kwikfish, for extra scent.

Hope everybody has a great salmon season this year.

A Few Tip’s On anchoring For Salmon is a post from the best Oregon fishing guide blog we could find, where Marvin writes about Salmon, sturgeon, and Walleye...

Fishing from a boat will be allowed seven days a week from March 1 through April 4 from Buoy 10 upstream to Rooster Rock. Fishing from the bank will be allowed during the same time from Buoy 10 upstream to Bonneville Dam. This fishery will be well managed to the available guideline of 7,750 upriver spring Chinook Salmon and could be shortened or extended depending on catch results.

The daily bag limit is two adipose fin-clipped adult salmon or steelhead in combination, of which no more than one may be a Chinook salmon. The rules also allow retention of up to five adipose fin-clipped jack salmon per day.

Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to the Oregon/Washington border

This area is open to retention of adipose fin-clipped steelhead through March 15 under permanent rules, as outlined in the 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations.

Effective March 16, this area will be open to retention of adipose fin-clipped steelhead and adipose fin-clipped Chinook salmon through April 24. This fishery will be well managed to the available guideline of 1,050 upriver spring Chinook salmon and could be shortened or extended depending on results.

The daily bag limit is two adipose fin-clipped adult salmon or steelhead in combination, and up to five adipose fin-clipped jack salmon per day.

Angling for salmon and steelhead from a boat between Bonneville Dam and the Tower Island power lines, approximately six miles down stream from The Dalles Dam, is prohibited. Bank angling is allowed in this area.

I would still recommend checking with fish and game before you go out, just to be sure the season is open.

Marvin’s Guide Service has some open days so call now and lets go catch some Salmon..
