Oregon & Washington Fishing Guide

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.

First of all I would like to tell everybody Happy New Year!

So, what a day. For the first time In thirty-five years I went salmon fishing. At Buoy 10. I caught two beautiful Cohos, about 12 pounds each. That’s no fish story, I’ve got the pictures to prove it. Marvin gave us superb service and guaranteed we’d catch salmon today, and we did.
What more can you hope for from a fishing guide.
Tonight when my wife and I are eating the sublime salmon, I’ll be thinking of my Dad, my family and my new friend Marvin and counting my blessings.
Call it beginners luck, but it was splendid.
It sure “sucked to be me” today.

One of the best areas to troll is near buoy 10,  which is at the mouth of the Columbia River as all the fish have to come past this to get upriver on the incoming tide.
I fish this in mid August.
we are going to alowed 3 coho this year.  If you want good action for salmon then give me a call or come on down .

Today I arrived at the boat ramp awaiting my customers to arrive.They did at 6:30 am.

We headed down the Columbia river, Where I anchored up what as the flats.I was in about 62 ft of water.
