With Oregon fish and wildlife saying that the Willamette River is going to have 104,100 spring Chinook this season. I am looking forward to great salmon fishing on the Willamette River. Let me tell you last year we had plenty of action, and expecting it to be good this year also, WOW!!!!

There are a lot of fishing guides in Oregon. There are several who claim to be guides, however,they are not registered with the Marine board, just a word of caution. Know who your guides are!

Before you book your next fishing trip make sure your guide is registered, and they have met all the necessary state registration requirements.

Here are my top 3 places for Spring Salmon on the Columbia river in the Portland Oregon area.

One of the first places I like to fish for Spring salmon is on the Columbia River, trolling between the 205 bridge and the I 5 Bridge. This area has become very popular the last few years. So if you plan on fishing here, you better get your boat in the river Early in the morning.
