    Fantastic time on the Columbia River.

    2026 Astoria Bouy 10 Salmon Fishing • 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

    Really fun fishing trip!

    Ocean Salmon • 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.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Matt! We also had a great time hosting your family!

    Great boat, amazing captian.

    1/2 Day Salmon Trip • 2 adults

    we weren’t able to catch any fish, but still had an amazing time. the Captian was very nice and tried many times to get us on the fish. i would recommend this charter just because we had a great time and the captain was very nice. we had alot of fish looking at the lures, even one bite, but it wasnt our day.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Nick! I enjoyed fishing with you guys today! Hope to see you soon. Tight lines.

Ocean Coho Rodeo!

Jul 28, 2026 • Cascade Locks
Coho fishing has been outstanding in the Astoria area. We had an epic day on July 28th, we had multiple people that had never caught a salmon before on board. We kept 11 salmon, and released 30 other salmon. It was non-stop action with doubles and chaos on deck as everyone battled bright ocean silvers. We also had some whale and dolphin encounters.
