Northwest Fishing Adventures – Astoria
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.

Our trip was an amazing adventure
Captain Hermann was great and was able to fit the three of us into a Salmon fishing adventure in short notice that have given my two sons and I memories that will last forever. We caught lots of fish. We will definitely do this again.

Salmon off the bucket list
The Captain was on time and ready to go. Navigated across the bar safely to get out to the ocean. Got us on the fish and made sure we got tasty Coho in the box. After that, the wind started to kick up, and the Captain smartly took us back to the mouth of the river. By the time we got back inside the jetties the wind had kicked up as was getting pretfy rough. Herman's experience lead to the right and safe call. Once back inside the jetties we went trophy hunting for Chinook and were able to land one nice one after a fun 15min fight. Thanks Capt Herman!

One of the few places you can still catch salmon
Billions of dollars have been spent to recover the dwindling salmon runs on the west coast but they just keep getting worse. It is time for someone to get serious about their job.
