What's In A Name?

Everything! Come join me, the "Salmon Master" as we pursue this incredible run of Salmon on the Columbia River.. We start fishing the crack of dawn, or even a little before. 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. If you are interested in this type of fishing get your reservations in early, it's a very busy time of year.

I fish sturgeon on the Columbia River, Astoria area. Astoria is the oldest settlement on the West Coast. Sturgeon are one the oldest species of fish in the world. Oh yah, and they do get big! The river in this area is wide, three to four miles across, but for the most part, its shallow, with a lot of fish caught in under five feet of water.

When it comes to salmon fishing, the Columbia River is hard to beat! 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!
