Oregon & Washington Fishing Guide

I have been fishing on the Columbia river for Sturgeon and shad.
Shad fishing has been OK the last few days not great just ok.

I look forward to the shad fishing picking up next week I think if we can get some sunny days on the river that will help.

Friday morning on the Columbia river, in the Columbia gorge I had 3 clients.There names were Dwane, his wife Debie and jim from Troutdale.

Dwane and Debie came all the way from the Tri-Cities. They have fished with me before in Tillamook bay and have had success.

Fishing for sturgeon on the Columbia river has been hot.
We are catching lot’s of shad witch is fun and great for bate!
Shad fishing and sturgeon fishing, will even get better threw June
Don’t forget Salmon fishing opens June 22, this is a great time to do half day sturgeon and half day salmon..

Oregon Fishing Guide Service…Fish Oregon with top fishing guide Marvin Henkel specializing in sturgeon fishing, salmon fishing, steelhead fishing, shad fishing, and walleye fishing I am now fishing the Columbia river for sturgeon. also time to start thinking about Steelhead trips in July.

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.
If you don’t have any shad then use smelt and sand shrimp.

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.
