Oregon & Washington Fishing Guide

The Fist Columbia River Spring Chinook Salmon of the season 2012 has been caught by a sportsman. It was a 12 to 14 pound Chinook Salmon caught off Frenchmen’s Bar. News like this gets everyone excited for the season.

Well people Oregon fish and wildlife set the Sturgeon season for the Willamette River today.
I don’t like it, but what can I do? We only get 4 days of Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette river.

Sturgeon retention season on the Lower Willamette River (including Multnomah Channel and the Gilbert River) will be open Feb. 17-18 and Feb. 24-25 2012

Crazy! Here it is almost Christmas and we’re talking about Spring Chinook salmon fishing in Oregon. That’s because Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is predicting a run of 83,400 Chinook Salmon on the Willamette River this Spring. That number is slightly higher than last year’s return of 80,254. With Chinook salmon numbers like that they should be high enough for a seven-day-a-week fishery and a two fish limit when the fishing season in opens in January.

I was on Willamette River Sturgeon fishing today (10-30-11). Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette River is catch and release this time of year and since the Willamette River always has a lot of action, it is a great place to fish.

Winter is just around the corner, and you might be asking yourself what am I going to do on some of these cold, rainy days?

Well, How about fishing in Portland Oregon with Marvin’s Guide Service because we have a covered and heated boat, an we will do some winter Sturgeon fishing!

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.

With May just around the corner and being in Portland,Oregon it is time to start thinking about Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River.

May is also a great time to do Salmon fishing on the lower Willamette River. You could even do a half day of Salmon fishing on the Willamette then do the second half of the day Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River.

It was a quick season on the Willamette River for Sturgeon but for the most part, a very successful one.

With Oregon fish and wildlife saying that the Willamette River is going to have 104,100 spring Chinook this season. I am looking forward to great salmon fishing on the Willamette River. Let me tell you last year we had plenty of action, and expecting it to be good this year also, WOW!!!!

Willamette Rive in Oregon Holds many different kinds of fish. Like Spring salmon, Winter Steelhead, Coho Salmon, Sturgeon, Bass, and Walleye. these fish are probably the most sought after fish in Oregon.
