Columbia River Fishing Guides
 |
| Columbia River fishing offers some of the best fishing in the nation if not the world and the same holds true for the regional Columbia River Fishing Guides as they are as skilled and knowledgeable as any of their tropical or saltwater fishing guide counterparts. 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.
Columbia River fishing means Sturgeon fishing, which means you are fishing for a fish that can reach sizes likely bigger than you are and when you catch one of these magnificent marine creatures you can take home an Oregon charter fishing story none of your fishing buddies can compete with. As fun and exciting as Sturgeon fishing is though it is not the only type of fishing on the Columbia River and your local Oregon fishing guide will also offer fishing charters for the many species of salmon and a few other species in addition to some exciting Sturgeon fishing.
Available Species

Columbia River Fishing Opportunities
Sturgeon Fishing - The northwest and the Columbia River is home to the largest population of great white sturgeon in the world. Columbia River fishing offers anglers and Oregon fishing guides top quality sturgeon fishing opportunities throughout the year. Sturgeon average from 7 - 14 feet in length and can weigh up to 400 pounds. It's hard to imagine just how big and strong these fish are until you've experienced the fight for yourself first-hand. When you are charter fishing on Columbia River you'll want to bring along your camera to capture this incredible fish on film along with the vast scenery of the Columbia River Gorge, which offers some of the most spectacular outdoor scenery in North America. Columbia River fishing trips provide plenty of action and fun for veteran as well as beginner anglers. Keeper Sturgeon range from 42" to 60" though many are hooked under and over that size. These fish are known to provide some of the best eating meat ever. Sturgeon is great smoked, deep fried, or baked. Your Oregon, Washington, or Columbia River fishing guide can tell you more about this fish, their feeding habits, popular techniques for catching them, and delicious recipes on how to prepare Sturgeon meat.
Salmon Fishing - Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most important to anglers and local Columbia River fishing guides. The two fish are often found in the same waters throughout Oregon and Washington and pursued in much the same way, but the Chinook is the larger of the two and highly prized among anglers and local Oregon fishing charters. When hooked, Chinook like to slug it out, while Coho are acrobatic and quick. Chinook are also known as king salmon or spring salmon. Chinook are powerful swimmers that migrate hundreds of miles up northwest rivers to their spawning grounds, and they can grow huge. The rod-and-reel world record was taken in Alaska's Kenai River in 1985 and weighed 97 pounds, 4 ounces. Most fish caught by northwest anglers, however, range from 15 to 40 pounds. At the end of a fishing line, Chinook salmon are absolute brutes - hard-running, stubborn fighters that will give you all the challenge you can handle, and sometimes more. Columbia River salmon fishing is a major tourist draw for Washington and Oregon fishing guides and once you experience Columbia River salmon fishing just once you will not want to ever leave these fertile fishing grounds of the Columbia River.
