The Salmon Master
only fishes 2 places:
Nehalem Bay
Nehalem Bay is always one of the top producers of large Fall Chinook.
Columbia River
The Salmon run on the Columbia River is one of the largest in the United States. The Columbia River has the best sturgeon fishing in the world.

There is no reason to fish anywhere else.
Pro-Guide Dennis Stewart offers some of the finest Salmon and Sturgeon fishing there is in the Northwest. The SalmonMaster fishes the Lower Columbia River and the Nehalem Bay.
SalmonMaster Fishing Guide Service is located in  Seaside, Oregon on the Oregon coast, minutes away from the Columbia River and Nehalem Bay. Dennis knows this area better than almost anyone around because he lives here and he only fishes these two locations.

If salmon or sturgeon are the fish you're looking for, and the Columbia River, around Astoria, or the Nehalem bay are the places you want to fish, you have found yourself the best local fishing guide.

SALMON FISHING NOTES:

• The Columbia River offers some of the best Salmon fishing you will find anywhere.
• Starting the first part of August, three hundred thousand salmon begin their migration up river, and if you really want to catch a salmon, this is the place to be!
• We'll be trolling with cut-plug herring and when the Salmon take this bait, its not a nibble, its an all out attack!

• Peak season for this popular Columbia River fishery is from about the 10th of August until the first week in September.

NOTES ABOUT NEHALEM BAY FISHING:

• There are two runs of salmon in Nehalem Bay, a summer run, that start right around the fourth of July, and slows down a little around the first week in august .

• The fall run is right on its heels, starting the last of August and running into November. These fish average 25 to 30 pounds, with many fish hitting the 40 and 50 pound mark each year.

• There's also a hatchery Coho Salmon program on the Nehalem that allows you to keep hatchery-raised fish. I've fished this bay for 10 years, I know were they hide!

COLUMBIA RIVER STURGEON NOTES:

• The Columbia River has the best sturgeon fishing in the world, and if you want to catch your share of these fish, Astoria is the place to be! This is the best " keeper" area on the river.

• Keeper size fish are 42 to 60 inches.

• Some of these fish get larger, 10 feet and larger!

• One of the the fun parts of sturgeon fishing is that you never know what's nibbling on the end of your line.

• The fishing here can be very good. Catching 20 to 50 fish a day is common during the peak season.
  These fish are hard fighting, and very good eating.
