Fishing is my only job, I will be chasing these fish every
day. It is very important to book with a full time licensed
and insured U.S. Coast Guard certified fishing guide, who
stays on top of these fish every day and knows where they
are, what they're biting on and what they're planning on
having for lunch.

We fish on the Columbia River for Columbia River Spring
Chinook, also called Springers or Spring Chinook,
Columbia River Fall Chinook, also called King Salmon or
Columbia River King Salmon, Columbia River Coho and
Columbia River Sturgeon. The Spring Chinook Return to
the Columbia River starting in April with increasing numbers
during the months of May and June. The Fall Chinook Run
on the Columbia River starts in August and Runs through
October. Coho or Silver Salmon return to the Columbia
River from August through early November.

Popular places to fish for Salmon on the Columbia include
Buoy 10, Astoria, Longview and the Bonneville Dam.

Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River takes place year
round. However, the most popular time to fish for sturgeon
is during the summer months when the water is warm and
the fish are feeding.

There is a size limit on the sturgeon. To the right you can
see an oversized sturgeon which was safely released and
well as a keeper sized sturgeon.

The Columbia River is a River located in the Pacific
Northwest. The Columbia River is know as Wimahl, or Big
River to the Native Chinook people who live on the
Columbia River. The Columbia River was named after the
Columbia Rediviva, the first know ship from the western
world to travel up the river.

The Columbia River begins in the Canadian Province of
British Columbia and flows down into the United States
through Eastern Washington until it forms a watery border
between Oregon and Washington State and then reaches
the Pacific Ocean. The Columbia River flows 1,250 miles
from it's headwaters to the Pacific Ocean. There are 14
dams on the Columbia River between it's headwaters and
the Pacific Ocean.
