Salmon Fishing, Sturgeon Fishing and Steelhead Fishing guide for the Columbia River

We fish the Columbia River, Willamette River, Sandy River, John Day River & other popular Northwest waters.

Chinook Salmon
These are the most sought after fish that swim up our rivers.

FALL CHINOOK - These are the biggest of all the Salmon that swim up the Columbia river. The average fish is 20-30 pounds but we get fish in the 40-50 pound range every year with an occasional fish over 50 pounds. They are very good table fare and fight really hard. This is a really fun fishery because you never know how big a fish you are going to hook. The best time of the year for these big Chinook is mid August - early November.
 
SPRING CHINOOK - These are the best eating fish that run up the Columbia river. They are fresh out of the ocean and are full of fight. I commonly put 2-10 fish in the boat per trip. Book early because these trips are very popular. Seasons change from year to year based upon regulations but generally run Mach - April on the Columbia river and March - May on the Willamette river.
SUMMER CHINOOK - Summer Chinook are a very aggressive and bigger cousin of the Spring Chinook. Average size is in the 20 pound range with fish sometimes going to 35 pounds. Dave Maroon combines these trips with Summer Steelhead in late June through July. Catching 4 to 15 fish a day is common during this fishery. This makes for a truly enjoyable day catching both Steelhead and Salmon! Most of this fishing is done below Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River.
Quality, Comfort, Success Guaranteed!
