Oregon and Washington Fishing Guide

Fishing report on the Columbia River in the Portland Oregon area by fishing guide Marvin.

The steelhead fishing on the Columbia River has been really good. I have been fishing at the oak tree in about 10 or 12 feet of water.

Columbia River Steelhead,
The Columbia River summer Steelhead runs June through September in the Portland Oregon area.
With July being my favrrot time to fish for them.
I fish on the Columbia river right below the dam in 12 to 15 foot of water.
I like to get in some prety fast water so my #5 spinner blade is moving good.
These fish range from 5 to 20 pounds and are a great fighting fish on light tackle.

Columbia River Salmon Fishing opens back up June 22nd.

I know I was going to talk about Steelhead fishing but I thought this was better.
The June salmon are great these fish are known as the June Hogs.
I fish for these salmon on the Columbia River right by the dam.
the days will book fast so if you would like to take a guided trip you need to cal me asap!

Today i had 4 people on the Columbia river sturgeon fishing.3 Of these people drove all the way from Utah,The other man came from Estacada.

We met at the Columbia river boat ramp at 6:30 am. We headed down the columbia up into the Willamette river.

Sturgeon AS of Jan. 1, 2009, the new way of measuring sturgeon to keepR will take effect statewide.
Under the new rules, sturgeon will be measured from the tip of the nose to the fork in the tail (rather than the tip of the tail).
The resulting allowed retention measurements are slightly shorter than the old method. As a result, the 2009 slot measurement for sturgeon caught in the Columbia River downstream of The Dalles Dam to the Wauna Power lines, including tributaries, will be 38 to 54 inches FORK LENGTH. Upstream of The Dalles Dam to the Oregon/Washington border, the fork length for sturgeon retention will be 43 to 54 inches beginning on Jan. 1. Below the Wauna power lines, the fork length will likely change to 41-54 inches after April 2009, although those rules have not yet been adopted (see emergency rule changes for exact dates as the season approaches for sturgeon fishing below the Wauna power lines). Remember, all of these figures are simple conversions of the old method of measuring sturgeon. It does not mean you can keep smaller fish, only that the method of measuring “keepers” has changed. So, from Jan. 1 on,
Good luck on the columbia river should be a gteat year.
Look for lot of action with the shad come in on the river.

These Walleye range 5 to 15 pounds and just may be one of the hardest fish to find.
They are aggressive elusive and sly, making them an incredible catch.
