Spring Salmon fishing charter and fishing guides.
As spring approaches, spring Chinook salmon begin their journey up the Columbia River, peaking from mid-February through March. During this vibrant season, I guide you through the Columbia River between Portland and Vancouver, targeting spring salmon typically weighing 10 to 25 pounds, whether it’s the Columbia’s unpredictable waters or the world class spring salmon runs in the nearby Willamette River. Join me for a rewarding salmon adventure. Book a salmon fishing guide now
Columbia River Fall Salmon Fishing charter or guide.
Furthermore, the Columbia River is renowned for its impressive late summer and early fall salmon runs. Featuring massive fall Chinook kings and abundant Coho Silvers. The river draws over 1,000,000 salmon annually. July marks the beginning of their journey from the Pacific Ocean, where they aggressively feed before entering the river. As August arrives, my clients and I follow the salmon to buoy 10, ensuring we’re in prime spots for the best catch.

I highly recommend book your fishing guide or charter early, as August dates for Chinook salmon tend to fill up quickly. In many years, Coho fishing remains productive well past Labor Day. As the estuary fishing season concludes, the focus shifts to the Portland area and further into the Columbia River Gorge. we use freshwater strategies to target the larger kings. These kings are often significantly bigger than the spring fish, frequently exceeding 30 pounds in weight. learn more here Columbia River Salmon Fishing
Oregon Coast Salmon Fishing charter and guide.
As the Columbia River’s salmon runs wind down, guided and charter trips to Tillamook Bay become available in late fall. Particularly in October the bay is renowned for harboring some of the largest Chinook salmon in the Northwest. A common catch weighing around 25 pounds and some reaching up to 50 pounds. For an additional fee, I offer my Tillamook Bay clients the opportunity to set crab pots. That allows them to catch crab also. Ensuring a plentiful seafood harvest. We also provide full crabbing trips in November and December.
