Enjoy fishing close to downtown Portland for the tastiest Chinook Salmon. Woodys Northwest Fishing & Fun has trips available on the Columbia River until April the 4th, then after April 4th over to the Willamette River. Join Captain Michael Woodward for another fishing adventure around Oregon’s best spots.
If you’re interested in fishing around Astoria, Tillamook Bay, and Depoe Bay, check out his other listings and find the trip of your dreams. The fish never stay in one area throughout the year, and Capt Michael will make sure you’re at the right place at the right time.
You’ll be fishing on a 21’ Willie Boat boat that accommodates up to 4 anglers. This aluminum vessel is powered by twin 115 HP Yamaha engines and features modern navigational electronics. The boat is also equipped with top-notch rods, reels, lures, and bait.
Capt Michael has been casting in this area for many years now and knows all there is about fish movement, the techniques, and which equipment to use. The ultimate catch is Spring Chinook Salmon and your guide will help you reach the catch limit. After the trip, he’ll clean and fillet it free of charge.
All fishing equipment is included in the price, so you only need to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.
Bring your friends and family and spend an exciting day on the water with Woodys Northwest Fishing & Fun!

8 Hour – Trip Spring Chinook Salmon
We didn’t get any Salmon, so captain Mike helped us catch Sturgeon instead. My daughter and I had a great experience.

I've been on a lot of trips with a lot of guides and I got to tell you this one is by far the best. He's not just a guide he's a teacher. Take some time for clients to learn with hands-on experience throughout the entire trip. Everyone had a good time and it was well worth it. Will definitely use this guide from now on
