Oregon and Washington Fishing Guide

There are lot’s of places to fish for Chinook salmon on the Willamette River.
I will just talk about a few for now.The First spot I like to Salmon fish is were the Channel comes into the Willamette River. I troll in this area of the River. The water is around 15 to 20 feet deep, I like to bounce the bottom when I fish this area.

When fishing on the Columbia River or Willamette River for Sturgeon in the winter,

I have found they bite very soft in the winter, That is why when I fish for them I use a lighter fishing pole.

The time has come to talk about a little safety when you anchor your boat on the Columbia River and Willamette River.

With all the rain we have had, the river’s are high and there is a lot of stuff floating in the water.

Sturgeon fishing in the Columbia river over the weekend was fair.
Shad fishing was slow even though you could get some for bate.
Salmon fishing on the Columbia river will open up June 22.

There are about a 1000 salmon a day going over the dam.
this is a good time to do a half day salmon and a half day of sturgeon fishing.

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..

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.

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.
