Spring Salmon Columbia River 2010

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.

The forecasted run is up significantly from last year’s final run of 169,300 fish.

One Place I like to fish for Spring Salmon on the Columbia River is between the I5 Bridge, And 205 Bridge.

There are a few ways to fish for Spring salmon, Like trolling hearing or spinners. I had my best luck trolling down river, I use about 6 oz sinker, I like to keep it right on the bottom.

I start my troll on the Washington side of the Columbia River and work my way down river.

One other way I like to fish for Spring Salmon is to anchor up, you have to have a good curruen to do this.

I will use jet diver and Quickfish.

This is great way to fish when it cold out because Marvin’s guide Service has a top and heater!

Marinate your Sturgeon fillets in the
closed baggie for 45 to 60 minutes prior to use.

Preheat your oven or grill to 350 degrees F.

Make an appropriate sized tray of aluminum foil

Place the Sturgeon fillets in the aluminum tray
and cover and seal with another piece of aluminum foil of ample size.

Bake or grill the package of fillets at 350 degrees F. for twenty minutes.

Carefully remove the aluminum package and open —- be careful of entrapped steam.

Serve with a bake potato (one hour at 350) , spinach and/or green salad and beverage of

group of 4 hook up on the Columbia river July 17th 09

Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia river in Oregon was a blast on Friday.
I had for clients fishing on my boat on the Columbia river.
we started out fishing for steelhead but fishing was slow so we went down the Columbia river about 5 miles or so to Horsetail falls and stared to fish for sturgeon.

We caught a few Shakers witch are small sturgeon and even caught a few Sturgeon just a inch short.
Just as it was time to go home we got a bite this time it was big and do I mean big.
45 minutes or so wen by before we got this big sturgeon to the boat.
This Sturgeon was a great fight all the way to the end.
hope you all enjoy the picture of the great jump.
Thank you Chris for the great pictures.

Columbia River Shad Fishing

Justin — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:02:30 +0000

In may and june over a milion shad come up the Columbia river.These shad are fun to catch on light tackle, I like to call them pour man steelhead.

Pound for pound they are one of the best biting fish the Columbia river can offer.

Shad fishing is a great time for kids because there is alot of action, Although i dont care to eat shad, I like to fill me freezer with them for Sturgeon bait and Crab bait.

To fish for the shad you fish in about 10 – 15 feet of fast moving water.I like to use a little tiny spinner for these shad. It is amazing we can put a 5lb shad on hold to use for Sturegon bait.

I use a 10 odd hook right through the middle of the shads head when fishing for Surgeon.

So if you are looking for excitement on the Columbia river may and june is the time to do so.
