Fishing for Sturgeon out of Astoria is productive and it is one of the hottest fisheries in Oregon. Sturgeon are the most powerful fish you will ever catch. Sturgeon fishing is regulated and the minimum length is 42 inches and the maximum is 60 inches. May 10th, the minimum length changes to 45 inches to 60 inches in the Astoria area only.  Sturgeon are very good to eat and Limits usually prevail with a lot of catch and release, after you catch your Keeper, some are just too Big and have to be released, so Remember to book your trip early and get ready to have some " Reel " fun, and " Let's go Fish'n.

Oregon Fishing
New Fish Report 05/11/08 

   Well Folks, Get ready for another Good year of Fishing in the Northwest.  Don't forget about the Highly sought after Sturgeon that are some of the finest eating fish around.  There are good numbers of Sturgeon in the river, and when the water starts to warm up the bite will be on in Astoria, Oregon.  Sturgeon Fishing should be very good this year.  Limits should prevail.  Be sure to book ahead for reservations.
 
   Astoria Sturgeon fishing at the coast will start on May 10th through June 24th. The Fish & Wildlife has shortened the season this year, because of going over our quota for last year in 2007

 
   Summer Steelhead fishing should be very good this year with a healthy return of fin clipped Hatchery fish, starting in June, and running through August . Some of Last years Steelhead that were boated were in the 12 to 15 pound range, yum, yum.
 
   Fall King and Silver salmon starting on August 1st, with the run Lasting into Late September right here on the mighty Columbia river. I'm hearing that good numbers will be coming in the river this year, so Look forward to having some reel fun catching fish with Martins Big Fish Adventures.
 

   But wait there's more!!!  The summer run Salmon is to triple the run of last year, 2007!!  From 46,000 to 145,000 Summer Chinook predicted for 2008.

Summer Salmon

  Look forward for more fishing reports starting in March, Be sure and Book your seats early, to get the days you want.

Fall Chinook & Coho Salmon on the Columbia river
August 1 through
October

Fall Chinook salmon and Coho salmon fishing starts around August 1st and runs thru October. Fishing for Chinook salmon is the ultimate thrill. Chinook salmon are very wild as they come right from the ocean. Larry follows these fish up river as the salmon migrate and knows the best fishing spots. The size of Chinook salmon vary from about 10 to 60lbs and the run this Fall will be close to 264,000 Chinook

The Columbia River Bouy 10 Salmon Opener August 1st is one of the most highly anticipated of all Oregon fisheries, with strong Coho-Silver Salmon numbers and plenty of fish off shore, anglers are especially optimistic this year. Catches of Coho and Fall Chinook are expected to be fair.  The opener is expected to be slow but action will pick up as the season takes off.

Coho salmon is also known as Silver Salmon. Coho salmon range in size from about 5 to 20 lbs and are very active fish. They have been known to jump right into the net. The Coho salmon fishery runs into October and Larry is very familiar with their run as they migrate from the ocean up stream. Coho salmon run up river to all the tributaries of the Columbia River including the Willamette River and the Clackamas River.

The adipos fin must be missing to keep this fish. All others must be returned unharmed to the river as they are considered to be an endangered fish.
