Columbia River Fishing Trips
from: Rob LoreColumbia River fishing trips offer something for everyone, from the novice angler to the diehard fly fisherman. The Columbia River's pristine fast flowing waters wind over 1,200 miles through North America's Pacific Northwest. Emptying into the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia has been the movie backdrop for Hollywood movies like Free Willy, Maverick and Bend in the River with Jimmy Stewart.
The Columbia River, nicknamed the "Mighty Columbia," was cut by glacial action some 10,000 years ago and is the 4th largest river by volume in North America. In 1792, the river was named after the Columbia Rediviva, a ship sailed by fur trader, Captain Robert Gray.
Since then, the Columbia River has drawn the attention of tens of thousands of fishermen from around the globe. Drawn by the salmon and sturgeon fish populations, anglers on Columbia River fishing trips, also seek walleye, steelhead and shad.
Fly fishermen flock to the Columbia River from Memorial Day through June, when American shad, the "poor man's salmon," are running. Considered to be one of the world's best game fish, because of its fight, anglers can land as many as 40 shad a day. You'll need a "shad dart" to land those game fish.
What do sand shrimp, fresh anchovies and smelt have in common? It's the bait you'll need if you intend to land the wildest fighting fish in the Columbia River. One Columbia River fishing trips guide, Kevin Newell, describes fighting and hauling in an oversized 5-foot sturgeon "is like using a fishing pole and reel to stop a Volkswagen as it's going 60 mph down the freeway."
Landing a 60 pounder 5-foot sturgeon is possible when taking a Columbia River fishing trip. If you are interested in hauling in a whipping fighting steelhead or your best chance to land your first sturgeon, the time for Columbia River fishing trips is May through early June out of Astoria, Oregon.
If it's large Chinook salmon or King salmon you are after, head for Tillamook Bay on Oregon's north coast in the fall. Coho salmon run in July and August while the very tasty Spring Chinook salmon start their run in late January. The best time to fish Spring Chinook is mid-March to mid-May
Many Columbia River fishing trips guide services are available, like the Bite Me Guide Service out of Keizer, Oregon or Erik's World Class Fishing Adventures that has been guiding Columbia River fishing trips for three generations. Be sure to ask about their guarantees on Columbia River fishing trips.
Columbia River fishing trips may offer a "fish catch" guarantee. Established fishing guides easily offer the guarantee since they know the Columbia waters, where the fish are, when they run and how to catch them. The veteran guides are pretty sure you won't need their guarantee, but it's there, just in case.
