If you plan on fishing in Oregon and southwest Washington and the famous Buoy 10 look no further than Moore Fishing. Having logged many hours on these water, Captain James can tell you all about them.

For Southwest Washington Moore Fishing fishes for spring Chinook and fall Chinook. Areas are Lower Columbia, Wind River and Drano. Moore Fishing does not offer Steelhead trips in Washington.

Oregon we offer all sorts of trips around the Portland metro area to the Columbia River Gorge. We also offer coastal trips down in Astoria and Tillamook Bay. These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Sturgeon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Crab, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time.

Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. James operates a 26' Alumaweld Columbia fishing with space for 6 passengers. With all up to date electronics even have live scope installed, boat has all the safety equipment and all the essentials to be successful on water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen. Depending on the time of year its never bad idea to over dress for the occasion. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing for yourself, with Moore Fishing!

Spring Chinook Fishing
Full Day Trip on May 9, 2025
I had a wonderful day out fishing with James Moore. I met him at the fishing spot just before sunrise. Everything was ready to go when I got there for the whole group. We had a great day out on the water. James knew the best ways to fish the area. His boat and equipment is all high end and top notch! He and his deck hand were very knowledgeable, very helpful, and had great positive attitudes. We had more action than most of the boats around us and we limited out! Everyone in the boat caught a salmon! I have been back out with James once since then and was an amazing trip again!!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 10, 2025
Phenomenal day fishing the Wind River with Moore Fishing! Beautiful weather, perfect conditions, incredible boat and quick limits of Big Spring Chinook and fun for all on board! I cannot recommend this guide enough. James passion, knowledge, skill and drive sets him apart from other guides. He will get you your fish and you'll have a blast doing it. Captain James is very friendly, kind, safe, fun and guaranteed to give you an unforgettable experience. I have been on several trips with James the Willamette, Columbia and the Wind always the same result.. FISH ON!!

Columbia Gorge Spring Chinook
Full Day Trip on May 6, 2025
I fished with James a few weeks ago for Spring Chinook in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. We limited the boat and had a great time. James is very knowledgeable about where and when to fish and gas the right presentations. I highly recommend Moore Fishing LLC.
