Chinook Salmon        
Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most important to anglers. The two are often found in the same waters and pursued in much the same way, but the Chinook is the larger fish of the two and highly prized among anglers. When hooked, Chinook like to slug it out, while Coho's 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 and Oregon fishing guides, however, range from 15 to 40 pounds. These Chinook salmon are commonly referred to as "Tillamook Hawgs". At the end of a fishing line, Chinook are absolute brutes - hard-running, stubborn fighters that will give you all the challenge you can handle, and sometimes much more.

The central and north coast of Oregon provides some of the finest river fishing in the state for King salmon, Coho salmon and huge wild and hatchery steelhead. The Trask River, Nestucca River, Siletz River and Wilson River all provide excellent Oregon fishing action for both salmon and steelhead.

Join me for a peaceful, productive, action packed Oregon fishing trip on some of least crowded sections of the Trask River, Wilson River, Nestucca River and Siletz River. You are sure to be pleased with the results!

[ Oregon Fishing Report ]

 

Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish. It is an ancient and worldwide practice that dates back about 10,000 years with various techniques and traditions and it has been transformed by modern technological developments.

bullet

Fishing continues to be a favorite pastime in the United States, in 2001, 16% of the U.S. population 16 years old and older (34 million anglers) spent an average of 16 days fishing. Freshwater fishing was the most popular type of fishing with over 28 million anglers devoting nearly 467 million angler-days to the sport. Guided Oregon fishing trips have grown in popularity making Oregon fishing nearly as well known as that of Alaska and Wyoming.

Practice Good Stewardship of our Waterways:
You can help to take care of our lakes, rivers, and other waterways so that others may enjoy these areas for years to come by practicing some of the following actions:
 

bullet

Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle. Use proper dumping stations instead of tossing refuse into the water.
 

bullet

Make sure that you use the correct type of bait and fishing gear permitted in that area. There may also be limits on the number, size, and kind of fish that you can keep. Check with your destination ahead of time to see what the local regulations allow. If you use a boat or watercraft when fishing, check to see what kinds of watercraft are allowed at the body of water where you are going to fish.
 

bullet

Pay attention to local procedures and cautions for cleaning your watercraft after you leave the water so that you don't encourage the spread of non-native species, such as the Zebra Mussel, to the next body of water you may visit with your boat.
 

bullet

Don't fish or boat in areas where it is not permitted. These areas have been declared "off limits" to fishing and boating to protect wildlife, vegetation, or for your safety.
 


White Sturgeon

White SturgeonSturgeon are always on tap for Catch & Release on the Lower Columbia River. But Oregon sets seasons for retention of these special prehistoric game fish. Common Names: Pacific sturgeon, Oregon sturgeon, Columbia sturgeon, and Sacramento sturgeon. Sometimes misspelled as sturgen. White sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America and can weigh over 1,500 pounds, be 20 feet in length, and live for over 100 years. Anadromous white sturgeon most commonly move into large rivers like the Columbia River in early spring, and spawn May through June.

White sturgeon are tough fighters -- so make sure you are ready to do battle. Many days we will catch and release over 25 fish. If your lucky enough to be here on a retention date you will quickly become a coinsure of the best eating fish there is. If you like Halibut its a sure thing you'll love Sturgeon.

A significant economic and cultural resource throughout the Northwest, white sturgeon recently became a popular target fishery with major commercial landings in the Columbia River. In fact, Columbia River sturgeon production, with its valuable roe for caviar, is second only to the former Soviet Union's production. The Columbia River Gorge is also the site of an intense sport fishery, as is the San Joaquin Delta in California and the Willapa Bay in Washington where guided fishing trips are popular. The white sturgeon is also an important fish for Native American fishermen on the Columbia and Klamath rivers.
