The other day I had to take my boat to the shop because it was running bad. I took it to Cascade Marine.

While I was there. Cascade Marine showed me what was wrong with the boat. I saw how much water had accumulated in the gas tank. When the tech took off the screw on water fuel separator and dumped it into a clear container.

Here is what Oregon fish and game say about 2010 Spring Salmon on the Columbia river.

SALEM, Ore. — The technical committee advising Columbia River fishery managers has released its forecast for the 2010 spring Chinook run. If the fish show up as projected, the forecast of 470,000 spring Chinook would be the largest return to the Columbia since 1938.

I have been doing my homework and found out the 2010 Rules on Sturgeon fishing in Oregon and Washington.

Remember the fish and wildlife can change rules at any time, so before you go out check and see the current rules for the area you will be fishing.

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.

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.

Steelhead fishing on the Jon day river in November for steelhead should be great!

There were record runs of steelhead over the dam this summer, so that should be great fishing!

The steelhead we are fishing in November are summer steelhead.

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.
