Oregon and Washington Fishing Guide

One of the best areas to troll is near buoy 10,  which is at the mouth of the Columbia River as all the fish have to come past this to get upriver on the incoming tide.
I fish this in mid August.
we are going to alowed 3 coho this year.  If you want good action for salmon then give me a call or come on down .

Columbia river has a ton of shad go over the dam each year.
even if you are a pro fishermen you still will have a blast catching shad on the columbia river.
Shad fishing is gteat for kids there is lot’s of action and they are a great fighting fish.
I like to fish in about 10 to 15 feet of fast moving water.
I use a dick night spon i like sliver and green, dont think it realy maters.
Then after you have caught you shad it is time for fun. If you are up to a fight of a lifetime. put the shad on hole and wate for the big sturgeon. then hold on tight.
I would love to here some fish story so please get bak to me.

The Sturgeon fishing is starting to heat up in the gorge on the Columbia river.
The water is warming up. There are even a few over size sturgeon being caught!
beware the Columbia river is fast.
start watching for shad. fresh shad should be a sure catch.

In may and june over a milion shad come up the Columbia river.These shad are fun to catch on light tackle, I like to call them pour man steelhead.

Pound for pound they are one of the best biting fish the Columbia river can offer.

Columbia River Steelhead,
The Columbia River summer Steelhead runs June through September in the Portland Oregon area.
With July being my favrrot time to fish for them.
I fish on the Columbia river right below the dam in 12 to 15 foot of water.
I like to get in some prety fast water so my #5 spinner blade is moving good.
These fish range from 5 to 20 pounds and are a great fighting fish on light tackle.

Columbia River Salmon Fishing opens back up June 22nd.

I know I was going to talk about Steelhead fishing but I thought this was better.
The June salmon are great these fish are known as the June Hogs.
I fish for these salmon on the Columbia River right by the dam.
the days will book fast so if you would like to take a guided trip you need to cal me asap!

Sturgeon AS of Jan. 1, 2009, the new way of measuring sturgeon to keepR will take effect statewide.
Under the new rules, sturgeon will be measured from the tip of the nose to the fork in the tail (rather than the tip of the tail).
The resulting allowed retention measurements are slightly shorter than the old method. As a result, the 2009 slot measurement for sturgeon caught in the Columbia River downstream of The Dalles Dam to the Wauna Power lines, including tributaries, will be 38 to 54 inches FORK LENGTH. Upstream of The Dalles Dam to the Oregon/Washington border, the fork length for sturgeon retention will be 43 to 54 inches beginning on Jan. 1. Below the Wauna power lines, the fork length will likely change to 41-54 inches after April 2009, although those rules have not yet been adopted (see emergency rule changes for exact dates as the season approaches for sturgeon fishing below the Wauna power lines). Remember, all of these figures are simple conversions of the old method of measuring sturgeon. It does not mean you can keep smaller fish, only that the method of measuring “keepers” has changed. So, from Jan. 1 on,
Good luck on the columbia river should be a gteat year.
Look for lot of action with the shad come in on the river.
