What anglers said about fishing in Portland

We wanted to go for salmon on the Columbia, but it was closed while we were in town so we pivoted to Sturgeon in Portland. Still lots of fun!

Columbia River - Kalama area was great! Make sure you get the best guide like Desmond who has success finding the fish. Lots of fisherman there but we had the most success!

Springers are not easy to catch so I would recommend if you want a better chance to catch fish, try the fall

Bananas on a boat is considered bad luck. Wear layers because it's cold in the morning but warms up by the afternoon.

We were the only ones on the water. The sturgeon were jumping out of the water everywhere. The weather was mild and partially cloudy. All around excellent time.

It depends on rain and how many fish enter river during the run. Also if they start to let netting of drag boats it decreases your chance of a big fish. August to first week of September

Nice heavy jacket and long sleeves to shed off when fishing in the morning. We had a 7 to 11 trip to Timothy Lake♡ Absolutely loved the peacefulness of the morning though drive was great! But service is spotty so make sure to write down your directions.

To Look on fishingbooker.com to select the right fishing. It was great. Only the way to get a licence+harvest list is too complicated. It is still paper required. I think everything must go digital. Iam a German and I needed to go around to find a place where these papers could be printed out.
