    Fantastic time on the Columbia River.

    2026 Astoria Bouy 10 Salmon Fishing on August 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    It was a pleasure to spend an entire day on the water with Captain Don of DG Columbia Adventures. Don has many years of fishing the Columbia River and knows where these fish can hide. My son and I were the only two on this trip and we were treated with excellently. Captain Don has some of the best navigation and fish finding sonar gear to not only find the fish but keep you fishing on them. We had no problem catching fish on our outing. I would not hesitate recommending DG Columbia Adventures for your next outing. You will not be disappointed with Capt. Don as you guide. I am planning another trip later in September for some up river Coho salmon fishing. Jamie D

    Wonderful time!

    8 Hour Trip – Columbia Gorge Salmon on November 6, 2025 • 1 adult

    Fishing with Don was a true pleasure. He's great to talk to, and is very knowledgeable about fishing techniques. I had never been fishing in the northwest US, and Don was happy to answer any of my questions. Most importantly, we were able to hook into multiple salmon and sturgeon. I'll definitely be booking with Don again!

    Really fun fishing trip!

    Ocean Salmon on July 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Don was fantastic. We caught a lot of fish on our journey and left with a good amount of meat. Don explained everything clearly, was friendly, and extremely accommodating to my son. I would recommend this for anyone going as a family or even with a couple adults. Truly an incredible experience.
