Oregon Fishing
New Fish Report 08/31/08 

The Columbia river opens for Chinook Salmon fishing from Rainier to Bonneville Dam, September 1st through September 16th. This will be the peak of the salmon run coming up the river where Limits should prevail. Now is the time to book a trip with a Pro Guide, you won't regret it. Chances are you may even pick up a fine Silver salmon or two while fishing for the Big Kings. The Chinook Salmon seasons are short this year with such a healthy run Predicted for the Columbia river, you would think that our Fish & Wild Life could come up with a few more days fishing for the Sportsmen. So with the few days that we are going to get to fish, we better get out there in full force, whether you go with a Guide or in your own boat, Lets get out there and catch some of those Big Fish.

Fishing in Astoria for Chinook is now closed but Silver Salmon season is open August 1st through October.  Be sure and Book up ahead of time for the days that you want. 

Special Extended Sturgeon Season from Portland to Bonneville Dam will be August - September, Fishing should be very good.

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.

King Salmon

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. 

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

Salmon on the Columbia River

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 364,000 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.
