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 normal for 2012. 

The Columbia River Bouy 10 Salmon Opener August 1st is one of the most highly anticipated of all Oregon fisheries, with moderate Coho-Silver Salmon numbers and plenty of fish off shore, anglers are especially optimistic this year. The Coho silver salmon run will be about a normal return for 2012.  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.
