Oregon fishing guide; catch salmon and sturgeon at Tillamook Bay and the Willamette River, Buoy 10 and the Columbia from Astoria to Bonneville Dam. Back trolling for salmon on the Clackamas River is very productive. We also catch shad on the Willamette River where the Clackama River enters at Oregon City.

Oregon Sturgeon

Columbia River fishing Adventures offers some of the best fishing in the nation if not the world and the same holds true for the regional Columbia River charters.

Referring to Columbia River fishing as some of the the best fishing in the world is not as bold a statement as one would think. No we aren't talking about typical sport fishing trips with all the colorful and acrobatic billfish that most "sportfishermen" think of when you mention 'sport fishing'. Instead we are talking about Columbia River sport fishing, something really special that the majority of anglers, especially anglers in the southern regions never get a chance to experience.

Oregon Fishing Guide On these trips you are fishing for a species that can reach sizes likely bigger than you are. Take home an Oregon charter fishing story none of your fishing buddies can compete with. Sturgeon fishing is not the only type of fishing on the Columbia River and your Oregon fishing guide will also offer fishing charters for the many species of salmon in addition to some exciting Sturgeon fishing.

The Columbia River provides some of the best fishing in Portland Oregon for Chinook salmon and steelhead. Many of these steelhead are big, averaging 12 to 15 pounds each, and provide a battle that rivals no other. Along with Chinook salmon the Columbia River provides excellent fishing for white sturgeon. Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River provides fish averaging 30 to 80 pounds each, with oversize sturgeon weighing as much as 400 pounds or more. Combo trips (half-day sturgeon and half-day salmon also available). The Columbia River provides excellent Sturgeon fishing.

Don't forget, the scenic beauty and ruggedness of the Columbia River Gorge and Columbia River estuary. This too is a special part of our trips. The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river canyon cutting the only sea-level route through the Cascade Mountain Range.
