Columbia River Fall Salmon 2022

Aug 16, 2022 Warrenton

Wow, what a great start to the 2022 Columbia River fall salmon run! We are currently fishing out of Astoria Oregon near the mouth of the columbia river where these fish are fresh from the ocean. Fishing is off to a great start and is only going to get better. I still have plenty of dates available if you are looking to get out and fish the famous bouy 10 fishery.

Though we didn’t catch any fish (bad luck? fish psychology?), we had a great time with captain Zach. He was knowledgeable and accommodating to specific requests while on the river, and courteous when we ran into a misunderstanding related to booking. Definitely worth it! Thanks, Zach!
