Oregon Fishing Trips & Seasons
We offer several different types and species of fish to target throughout the year. Different species can often be caught on the same day, let us know if you want to do a combo trip!
Why is the Columbia River such a great place to fish? It's because the Columbia River has:
- Over one million salmon returning to its waters every year.
- Half a million Steelhead returning in a typical year.
- 1.1 Millions resident sturgeon living in its waters.
With this many fish in its waters it's easy to see why the Columbia, its tributaries, and surrounding waters are such a great place to fish!
Sturgeon Fishing Trips
A typical day of sturgeon fishing is 15 to 30 fish landed for the boat with many days producing more than this!
All of our sturgeon trips are light to medium tackle, you won't be using broom handle rods with huge reels to catch these fish.
