Portland Oregon fishing

With May just around the corner and being in Portland,Oregon it is time to start thinking about Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River.

May is also a great time to do Salmon fishing on the lower Willamette River. You could even do a half day of Salmon fishing on the Willamette then do the second half of the day Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River.

Around the end of May we will Start seeing some Shad on the Willamette River, You know what that means? Big Sturgeon on the Columbia River.

So no matter what you want to fish for Salmon,Sturgeon,or Shad or maybe a little Salmon fishing then a little Sturgeon fishing May and June is a great time to do that.

Call Marvin’s Guide Service and let’s talk some fishing.

Willamette River Sturgeon

Marvin — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:46:09 +0000

It was a quick season on the Willamette River for Sturgeon but for the most part, a very successful one.

I do expect the Willamette River to stay good for Catch and release Sturgeon for the next few months. If you are looking to keep a Sturgeon I would fish around the mouth of the Willamette River or if it was a nice day with little wind I would head up the Columbia River and fish around Roster Rock.

Myself I am going to Start Salmon fishing on the Columbia River around Davis Bar.
With fish and wildlife saying that the Willamette River is going to have a very strong run of Spring salmon this year, Davis Bar which is just down River a little way’s from the Mouth of the Willamette River is a great place to start trolling.

The Daily bag limit on the Columbia River is 1 hatchery Chinook Salmon. Please Handle all wild salmon with care and keep them in the water, and release them quickly. Sounds like the Columbia River will close April 4th for Salmon fishing.

On the Willamette river the The daily bag limit downstream of Willamette Falls will be two adult adipose fin-clipped Salmon. Fishing is allowed 7 day’s a week on the Willamette River..

How to Catch Giant Sturgeon on the Columbia River

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.

Now I like to use Shad for bait, the whole Shad. 3 to 4 pounds average. The fun part is when the sturgeon starts to bite, make sure your drag is set real lose, so when the fish starts to bite it will take about 20 to 30 yards of line before you take it out of the rod holder.
Now take the rod out of the holder and slowly tighten up the drag, then set the hook, set it hard, Fish on!

Unhook your anchor and start to drift away and the fight is on!

When you go to release the giant Sturgeon be careful not to touch the gills, just take a quick picture and let the fish go.
