Let’s talk a little bit about how Marvin’s Guides Service rigs up for Spring Chinook Salmon on the Columbia River, and Willamette River.

I use a Lamiglas rod, with a Okuma line counter reel filled with 65 pound test Tuf Line braid. Line counters are the way to go; you always know how deep you are fishing, and that is key in salmon fishing.

I put a slider on my main line for my dropper weight, then I slip 2 or 3 beads on the line. Then I tie a bead chain to the end of the main line. Next I tie about a 2 foot leader from the bead chain to a flasher, then I take a 2 foot piece of line from the flasher to another bead chain. Then I take my mooching rig which is around 4 to 5 feet and tie it to the bead chain. I use anywhere from 8 to 12oz of lead depending on the speed of the river.

Columbia River Sturgeon

For me it is the battle the fish puts up when you get that hook up. That is why Sturgeon Fishing on the Columbia River just might be one of my favorite fish to catch!

Columbia River Sturgeon may reach 13 feet and 500 pounds and bigger. Just imagine being on the water and getting a bite, you set the hook and the battle is on. Line is Peeling off the reel, this giant Sturgeon jumps, all 8 or so feet of the fish is out of the water, amazing!

When fishing on the Columbia River this dream can come true! You can not keep sturgeon this big but you may catch and release them. to keep a Sturgeon they must be between 38 and 54 inch.

Sturgeon is without a doubt my favorite fish to eat!

Call Marvin’s Guide Service today, and book your trip on the Columbia River for Sturgeon fishing.

Fishing above the I 5 bridge has been a great place to fish on the open days. you can fish below the I 5 Bridge 7 days a week. make sure you check for updated fishing laws fish and wild life can close the river at any time..

Willamette River is closed to Sturgeon, you may catch and release. Sturgeon fishing on the Willamette River has been great. Herring has been the hot bait.
