Very Good Service

by on Jan.07, 2010, under General

The other day I had to take my boat to the shop because it was running bad. I took it to Cascade Marine.

While I was there. Cascade Marine showed me what was wrong with the boat. I saw how much water had accumulated in the gas tank. When the tech took off the screw on water fuel separator and dumped it into a clear container.

life of a Sturgeon!

by on Nov.15, 2009, under Sturgeon

Columbia river SturgeonWhite sturgeon spawn many times in their lives. As they age, the females spawn less often, but produce more eggs in each spawning. In the late spring or early summer, they congregate in areas of rivers with a heavy current, gravel bottom, and a water temperature of 58 °F to 66 °F (14 °C to 19 °C). The fish broadcast spawn in these areas, with males releasing sperm as the outnumbered females release anywhere from 100,000 to a million eggs. The fertilized eggs then sink and adhere to the gravel at the bottom. The eggs are brown in color and will hatch in about a week, depending on water temperature. Female white sturgeon do not spawn every year.

Columbia River information

by on Nov.12, 2009, under General

columbia river gorgeThe Columbia River begins its 1,243-mile (2,000 km) journey in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench in British Columbia (BC). Columbia Lake, 2,690 feet (820 m) above sea level, and the adjoining Columbia Wetlands form the river’s headwaters. The trench is a broad, deep, and long glacial valley between the Canadian Rockies and the Columbia Mountains in BC. For its first 200 miles (320 km), the Columbia flows northwest along the trench through Windermere Lake and the town of Invermere, a region known in BC as the Columbia Valley, then northwest to Golden and into Kinbasket Lake. Rounding the northern end of the Selkirk Mountains, the river turns sharply south through a region known as the Big Bend Country, passing through Revelstoke Lake and the Arrow Lakes. Revelstoke, the Big Bend, and the Columbia Valley combined are referred to in BC parlance as the Columbia Country. Below the Arrow Lakes, the Columbia passes the cities of Castlegar, located at the Columbia’s confluence with the Kootenay River, and Trail, two major centres of the West Kootenay region. The Pend Oreille River joins the Columbia about 2 miles (3 km) north of the U.S.–Canada border.

Winter Sturgeon fishing in Oregon

by on Oct.18, 2009, under Sturgeon

oregon fishing guide on the Columbia riverSturgeon fishing guide in portland OregonSturgeon fishing in Portland Oregon during the winter makes for some great fishing!
We sturgeon fish on the Willamette River right in down town Portland, Oregon.
We fish from a covered and heated boat.
Sturgeon come up the Willamette River because it runs a bit warmer than the Columbia River.
We fish with Light tackle, making it a great battle with a monster fish. Why stay home and watch fishing shows on TV? when You could be catching winter Sturgeon with Marvin’s Guide Service?
call Marvin and ask about winter rates January and February fishing trips only!

How to Crab fish in Oregon

by on Sep.20, 2009, under General

GetAttachment[8]Catching Dungeness Crab on the Oregon Coast is a year-round sport in the estuaries, coastal rivers and tidal bays.
The best weather to go in is mild to sunny weather. Sustained rains bring fresh water. They are salt-water creatures and heavy rains force them out to sea because of the sudden lack of salt water.
