Well the salmon fishing is over on the Columbia river, But you can find some Steelhead fishing on the Jon Day river. The weather will be cold but the fish are there.
I like to troll plugs red is my hot color.

The 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.

Sturgeon 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!

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.

Fishing King Salmon in Tillamook Bay is starting to heat up.
We have been catching lots of Coho salmon, remember you can only keep the fin clip Coho.

There has been some nice really nice King salmon caught in the Bay.

Fishing on the Columbia River In the Columbia River gorge for King salmon has been good.
I have been fishing on the Washington side by the dead line.

So, what a day. For the first time In thirty-five years I went salmon fishing. At Buoy 10. I caught two beautiful Cohos, about 12 pounds each. That’s no fish story, I’ve got the pictures to prove it. Marvin gave us superb service and guaranteed we’d catch salmon today, and we did.
What more can you hope for from a fishing guide.
Tonight when my wife and I are eating the sublime salmon, I’ll be thinking of my Dad, my family and my new friend Marvin and counting my blessings.
Call it beginners luck, but it was splendid.
It sure “sucked to be me” today.

Columbia River Salmon in the Astoria Oregon area has been great.

I have been fishing in the river I have been getting my limit every day.
From King Salmon to Sliver salmon.

Mot everybody on the water is catching fish

I met up with Andy Carson at 3:45 am on Wednesday August 5Th 2009.

Even when i saw the van come in to the parking lot I still could not believe channel 12 fox was going fishing with me.
