Astoria, Oregon sits at the mouth of the Columbia River where the famous Buoy 10 fishery offers world-class opportunities to catch hard-fighting Chinook (King) and Coho (Silver) Salmon as they enter the river from the Pacific Ocean on their annual migration upstream.

This area is one of the most popular Salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest because anglers can intercept large numbers of fresh ocean-run Salmon staging near the river mouth before heading upriver to spawn.

Trips are family-friendly and children are welcome, making it a great experience for anglers of all skill levels. All anglers require a valid Washington or Oregon fishing license and Columbia River Endorsement.

For the best experience, pack a lunch, dress for coastal weather, and get ready for a full day chasing Salmon on the water. The combination of scenic coastal views, powerful migrating Salmon, and the excitement of fishing one of the Northwest's most famous fisheries makes Buoy 10 a must-do adventure for any angler.

    Incredible way to experience the Pacific Northwest

    Salmon (Private) on August 21, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We took out a very inexperienced group of fishermen—two first-timers and three boys under 13—and they absolutely battled through the ever-present cool marine layer to land our bag limit of coho and Chinook salmon! Every kid on board had the opportunity to hook into one of these beautiful, powerful fish, making for an unforgettable day on the water. 🎣 Capt. Corey kept us right on the fish, and we were able to wrap up the day by 11 AM with a full cooler and some very happy fishermen. Capt. Corey was fantastic with our group of three boys and the entire crew. His patience, knowledge, and ability to keep us on the fish made for an incredible experience. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

Cory is experienced in navigating the waters of the Columbia River Gorge and is ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. Keep your eyes peeled for Sturgeon, Chinook Salmon, Steelhead, and Walleye as you try your hand at bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, jigging, and more, the only way to learn is to join them on the water.
