Oregon & Washington Fishing Guide

Crazy! Here it is almost Christmas and we’re talking about Spring Chinook salmon fishing in Oregon. That’s because Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is predicting a run of 83,400 Chinook Salmon on the Willamette River this Spring. That number is slightly higher than last year’s return of 80,254. With Chinook salmon numbers like that they should be high enough for a seven-day-a-week fishery and a two fish limit when the fishing season in opens in January.

Do you and a guest want to go Spring Salmon fishing in 2012? Do you want to go fishing for free?
If the answer is yes then like Marvin’s Guide Service on facebook now and help spread the word! If we have at least 1000 likes by the end of 2011 we will have a drawing for a spring salmon fishing trip for you and a guest. We will be fishing in the Portland Oregon area, and you’ll have to sport your own transportation and lodging if you need it.

August 2011,
It is open – the crazy fishery on the mouth of the Columbia River Buoy 10 King Salmon fishing. You should be excited about this one, I know I am. With big numbers of Chinook salmon, one of the best returns since 2004 predicted this year and a great run of Sliver Salmon it will be a wild time with lots of hook ups.

Columbia River is expected to have at least 760,000 Fall Chinook Salmon return this year! With numbers like that, plus the big numbers of Coho Salmon, it’s going to be a wild year of fishing for Salmon. You don’t want miss out on this great fishery.

Salmon fishing on the Columbia river follows.

COLUMBIA RIVER MAINSTEM, Tongue Point-Rocky Point line upstream to Beacon Rock deadline (boat and bank), plus the Oregon/Washington banks between Beacon Rock and Bonneville Dam

Willamette River Salmon fishing has still been good in the harbor area, both bait and spinners are catching Chinook Salmon.
With the high water you just need to clean your line of a little more often to make sure your bait or lure is working good.

We were fishing on the Columbia river today up in the Columbia river Gorge.
We started out fishing for steelhead, Fishing was kind of slow

We did catch a Steelhead but we had to let it go because it was a wild one.
We also lost one steelhead.

Friday morning on the Columbia river, in the Columbia gorge I had 3 clients.There names were Dwane, his wife Debie and jim from Troutdale.

Dwane and Debie came all the way from the Tri-Cities. They have fished with me before in Tillamook bay and have had success.
