August 15th...It's Buoy 10 Chinook and Coho fishing time. I fish for these salmon right out of the ocean in the Astoria Oregon area. I troll whole and cut plug herring fresh and frozen. Spinner's work well also. Generally a size 5 to a size 7 seem to work best. These outfit's are trolled with a diver and a flasher in 20 to 45 feet of water. This season lasts until August 31st.

September 1st...Now I'll be fishing for the Up River Bright Chinook Salmon right here in Portland. These are the same fish we were fishing for in August but they have migrated up stream to Portland. I back troll kwikfish sardine wraps or we anchor with wobbler's, spinners, or kwikfish. This season lasts until September 15th.

September 15th...I'll be fishing at Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi Oregon for Fall Chinook salmon and Coho salmon. When I'm there I troll whole and cut plug herring as well as spinners 5's and 7's, just like Buoy 10. It's a beautiful place to be be in the fall. These are very hard fighting fish. It's a one and a half hour drive west of Portland. I fish there until the end of November. Good Luck to all of you. I hope to take you fishing soon...Larry Page.

Hi Fisherman...I'm currently fishing for the keeper size Sturgeon at Astoria Oregon in the Columbia River and its estuary. The sturgeon fishing is starting to really pick up with the ocean sturgeon coming into the Columbia to feed . The best baits are sand shrimp' and anchovy's .The season should last through June.

In July I will be fishing for catch and release sturgeon still in Astoria Oregon, also summer steelhead, walleye, and the monster sturgeon in the Columbia River Gorge in the Portland Oregon area. In August it's salmon time again on the Columbia river and in Sept through November I'm at Tillamook Bay Fall Chinook Salmon fishing where we troll whole and cut plug herring for both Chinook and Coho salmon.

Have a nice day and let's go fishing. Thanks Larry.

Spring Chinook Salmon are starting to show up in the Willamette & Columbia Rivers. In a while they will also be in the Sandy & Clackamas rivers. I prefer to troll with herring, whole and cut plug, & prawn's. If that's not working I anchor up & put out the kwikfish lure's. The Columbia River is open this spring & there is supposed to be a lot of good fishing.

Spring keeper Sturgeon has been good & will only get better as the Willamette and Columbia rivers warm up a little. The best bite has been on fresh smelt for the few of us who were lucky enough to get some. I look forward to taking you fishing. Please email me or call if I can help or answer any question's. Thanks!

Fishing for sturgeon on the Willamette and Columbia River has been getting better as the water is warming up here in the Portland and Vancouver area. Sand shrimp and smelt have been what they seem to be biting best. The Sturgeon fishing will only get better as the season goes on. Winter Steelhead fishing has started happening in the Tillamook bay rivers like the Wilson and Nestucca. Pulling plug's and side drifting bait like shrimp or salmon eggs has been producing the most steelhead. In the Portland area the Sandy and Clackamas rivers, fish are starting to show up and will continue through the spring. Good luck fishing and have a Merry Christmas.

I'm fall CHINOOK SALMON & COHO fishing at Tillamook Bay less than 2 hours west of Portland, Oregon. The ocean has been too rough to get out on lately. The Salmon fishing has been picking up in the Ghost Hole & the other Channels in Tillamook Bay. Trolling Herring has been the best bet - cut plugged & whole. The SALMON run in Tillamook bay should go clear through the month of November. I am also booking winter keeper STURGEON trips. GET YOUR RESERVATIONS IN NOW & GOOD LUCK! LETS GO FISHING!

I'm currently fishing for Giant Sturgeon in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland about 18 miles. They range in size from 5' to 14' with some even bigger. The best bait is Shad which migrate up the Columbia River each year. I'm also Walleye fishing & with many trophy fish out there its always fun to catch the big ones. The best method for me has been trolling bottom Walker's with a worm. The Buoy 10 fishery opens August 22nd through September 2nd. We generally do very well for the Coho & Chinook Salmon trolling Herring. After September 2nd I'm back in Portland fishing for the Upriver Bright Chinook Salmon where we fish with Kwikfish & Wobbler's. Good luck & I hope to take you fishing.

It's almost June & I will be fishing for the keeper size sturgeon 45 to 60 inches long at the Estuary in Astoria Oregon. The best bait are sand shrimp, anchovies, & smelt. These fish are very good fighters & I use very light tackle. I will also be fishing for summer steelhead & the June hog salmon run in the Columbia River Gorge. I anchor for these with spinner's & sardine wrapped KwikFish. Bring a camera because the scenery is beautiful. I hope you can make it out & go fishing with me. Thanks for listening & let's go fishing.

The Willamette River Spring Chinook Salmon run of fish has arrived a little later this year than in past years. Look to the later part of April which may be very good for salmon fishing. The best methods have been trolling herring or prawns or anchored up with Kwikfish. We Also have sturgeon fishing if the salmon aren't cooperating. In June I'll be fishing near Astoria for the keeper size sturgeon with lots of action. Also the Buoy 10 Chinook Salmon season goes from August 22nd through September 4th & that will book up fast. I still have some openings. "Tight Lines"

The Salmon are biting on the Columbia now. The best bite has been on herring whole or cut plug. The salmon run was updated this week so we will have a good season. Sturgeon fishing has been good lately on the Willamette & the Columbia rivers. The best bait has been fresh herring if you have it. "Tight Lines"

The river's have dropped from the high levels we had a few weeks ago. Steelhead fishing has been good in the local rivers with pulling plugs, drift fishing, sand shrimp, salmon eggs, bobber, & jig's. I look to February to be some great steelheading. The smelt have arrived in the Columbia - not a lot but enough that I got my year's worth. Naturally fresh smelt is the bait of choice. Enjoy Life and Lets Go Fishing. "Tight Lines"
