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. Tillamook fishing guides know how to
target these Chinook salmon and the success rates for their clients are
high.
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 by many
Tillamook fishing guides 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. As an experienced Tillamook fishing guide our
success rates are high for salmon and steelhead.
The central and north coast of Oregon
provides some of the finest river fishing in the state for King salmon,
Chinook 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 for salmon
and steelhead. You are sure
to be pleased with the results!

One of our clients took his daughter on a fishing trip
with us in the fall of 2008. She didn't waste anytime hooking in to
this nice 40-pound Chinook salmon.
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.
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.
I encourage angles to 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:
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.
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 your destination
ahead of time to see what the local regulations allow. If you use a
drift boat or power boat when fishing, check to see what kinds of
watercraft are allowed at the body of water where you are going to fish.
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.
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 Sturgeon
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.
