Summer Salmon



Oregon Fishing
Spring Salmon, Sturgeon & Steelhead
Fall Salmon Sturgeon
May 15, 2012
Hello Fellow Fishermen & Women, 

     Early numbers point to another excellent year of fishing , and I will be starting the New Year fishing for Spring salmon, and Sturgeon on the Columbia, and the Willamette river in the Portland area. I will also be doing some Combo trips for Salmon, and Sturgeon, if interested call for special pricing. The Forecast for 2012 is supposed to be Fantastic with some Big runs expected, and This years Steelhead run should will be top of the Line, with Big numbers coming in. Last couple of years the runs were so Big that all time records were recorded at Bonneville Dam. The Sturgeon fishing at the Coast in Astoria on the Columbia river, and in the Portland area will be Great! with a whole Lot of Fish to Catch.     

     Columbia River Fish Managers are predicting Strong returns for 2012, a return to the Mouth of the Columbia river of 314,000 Spring Salmon adults, such a return would be the fourth Largest run since 1938.

     “And this is just the start. The northwest is expecting to see a great Fall Salmon & Silver season, some good offshore salmon opportunities; a very good Buoy 10 season; some great fall Columbia River fall Chinook fishing, (600,000 expected) on the North Coast at the Columbia River mouth.  If ever there was a year to buy a fishing license this is it.”

Best Wishes for Big Fishes.
Martins Big Fish

Best Regards, Pro Guide Larry Martin

Summer Steelhead

 
 

Portland Sturgeon Fishing

     Sturgeon fishing is an all year fishery, with some months better then others. I fish the whole Columbia River from Astoria up to Bonneville Dam. Sturgeon are very good eating and a lot of fun to catch, they are a very good fighting fish for sure. So be sure and book a Sturgeon trip with me, and I will show you a good time indeed. Even when the season is closed, you can still catch & release any day of the year.

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.
