Steelies

With the rivers falling it will be prime steelhead time. This time of year sidedrifting and jigs are your best bet

Longview Salmon

Fishing is at its peak for salmon on the columbia near longview/rainer. Anchor up for chinook or troll for coho both are productive

Astoria update 2010

Astoria is taking off. The coho are starting to enter the river on the tide. We have had nice calm days at the bouy and we are still getting chinook in the 30+ pound range. Hardware has not been effective just bait. Only two weeks left on this fishery.

Astoria opening

Sunday was opening day at astoria. Fished both sunday and monday with good success. Fish are still out caught all fish out at the the b10 marker. Warrenton srea still very slow.

Weekend update

Last three days were great we hooked and landed quite a few steelhead. Only a couple of Natives. With the warmer water the fish seem to be in the 17-21 foot range. Oversize are slowing a bit though we did manage a few and landed a few keepers as well.

Peak run and Astoria around the corner

Steelhead is at is peak right now with 5K + a day fish going over the dam. Sturgeon are also doing well below the marker 82. July should finish off fine and it is time to look at Astoria for a great month of Salmon fishing. I will be there starting Sunday August 1st for the whole month.

Summer Steelhead

The summer steelhead season has reached a good peak with strong numbers reported each day. This fishery will continue through August and will be OK in Septemeber. It is also time to prepare for the Astroia Fishery with good numbers predicted for both Chinook and Silvers I exepect another great year of fishing.
