    Target Walleye in the Columbia River, where some believe the next world record could be caught. Walleye, also known in Oregon as “Columbia River Gold,” provide a great fishery throughout the year, with winter and spring offering excellent opportunities to target quality fish and bring some great table fare home. We use a variety of techniques to target Walleye, including trolling large crankbaits in the early morning or late evening, trolling worm harnesses, and jigging.

Walleye fishing in Oregon, United States offers steady action on big rivers. These sharp-eyed Panfish thrive in cool, moving water and love structure. Anglers target them here for strong fights and delicious fillets.

You will fish river channels, points, and rocky edges. Trolling with bottom walkers and worm harnesses covers water and finds active fish. Jigging with soft plastics works well when you mark schools or fish slower currents. Casting crankbaits along drop-offs draws reaction bites. A bottom walker is a weight that keeps your bait near the riverbed without snagging.

Trips are relaxed and beginner friendly. Guides handle tackle, bait, and local know-how, so you can focus on the bite. Dress in layers for changing wind and weather. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses, snacks, and a small cooler for fillets if keeping fish. Early mornings, evenings, and overcast days often see more action.

Top areas include the Columbia River along the Oregon shore, especially its broad pools and Gorge reaches. The Snake River on the Oregon border also holds quality fish. Larger stretches of the Willamette near confluences can produce, especially around current seams. Expect clear to slightly stained water, strong flows, and classic ambush structure.

Before you go, check Oregon’s current freshwater rules. Make sure you have the right fishing license or permits, and review any season, harvest, or gear regulations for your waters. Rules can change, so confirm details close to your trip date.

    Sandy River Fishing

    Took a Monday off work to go down to Portland and fish the Sandy River. Barry was great, easy to talk with about everything, fish and anything else, jokes, some burns lol. My son caught a couple Walleyes and his friend caught a Sturgeon. We had a great time and will be coming back in the fall. It was an awesome experience and Barry knows where the fish are, had a lot of laughs and a great time.

    Great day on the water

    Thanks, Steve. Really appreciate your expertise . I went fishing with my dad and my cousin. We had a great day. My cousin caught the first fish the biggest fish 28 pound salmon. My dad caught the second fish a 25 pound salmon and then Steve really put in the extra effort at the end of the day to make sure I got a fish which was over 20 pounds as well. The deckhand Tristan was amazing made sure he kept our lines in the water: Thanks will be back 😎!
