The lower Columbia & Ocean are loaded with some salmon returns. Northwest Fishing Adventures will take you out on either river for a high-quality fishing experience.

They have a 2023 ‘Alumaweld Columbia fishing boat that is perfect for these waters. The vessel is powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 31 knots. The 23’ craft is big enough to fit you along with 5 other anglers for a fun-filled day on the water.

Summer & Fall Chinook Salmon, as well as Coho are the species that you’ll go after alongside your guide, Herman Fleishman. His experience of the river here is second to none and he knows just the right spots to make this a truly successful fishing trip.

He’ll provide you with both light and heavy fishing tackle to get the job done. Okuma reels and Lamigrass rods are the brands that he trusts the most to make your day a success. When the trip is over he’ll clean your catches for you as part of the price.

Book your fishing permit online before the trip, and bring some refreshments. Get ready to enjoy an adventure of a lifetime on Oregon’s finest rivers and reel in some of the best freshwater fish in the world.
