Oregon & Washington Fishing Guide & Charter

Here is how Marvin’s Guide Service fishes for Giant Sturgeon on the Columbia River. Fishing starts in May for the great white Sturgeon. I fish on the Columbia River below Bonneville Dam,on the dead line which is a few miles down river from the fishery.
I like to fish in about 50 feet of water, the river is moving fast this time of year so be extra careful, have plenty of rope out.

Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette river and Multnomah Channel over the weekend was fair to good.
There were plenty of small sturgeon caught this weekend, with a few keeper size sturgeon.

Here is what Oregon fish and game say about 2010 Spring Salmon on the Columbia river.

SALEM, Ore. — The technical committee advising Columbia River fishery managers has released its forecast for the 2010 spring Chinook run. If the fish show up as projected, the forecast of 470,000 spring Chinook would be the largest return to the Columbia since 1938.

We were fishing on the Columbia river today up in the Columbia river Gorge.
We started out fishing for steelhead, Fishing was kind of slow

We did catch a Steelhead but we had to let it go because it was a wild one.
We also lost one steelhead.
