Astoria, Salmon season

I like to start my guided salmon fishing trips in Astoria, Oregon, in the middle of July. We start in the Pacific Ocean, just off the mouth of the Columbia River, and fish for coho and chinook salmon. When you go salmon fishing in the ocean during the month of July, you’ll usually have plenty of action with Chinook and Coho salmon. If the weather is good, after you’ve reached your limit on salmon, you can even fish for rockfish like sea bass and lingcod. If you plan on salmon fishing in the ocean, pay very close attention to the tides, as the tides are very crucial when crossing the Columbia River Bar. I have years of experience crossing the Columbia River Bar.
