What anglers said about fishing in Columbia River
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.

One absolutely has to book a trip with Barry at least once in their angling adventures. Highly recommended.

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

We came in Sept. Perfect time to fish. Not crowded but was still able to land fish. Great time.

Fish in the bay\river. It may be rough going across the bar for a newbie. But expect to catch fish, because you will!

Understand that it's great to catch fish but depending on weather and conditions of the water there is no guarantee on leaving with fish.

Talk to the charters and find out exactly what they can fish for at different times of the year.

Fishing in July is a great balance between catching fish but not being too crowded with the number of boats in the water.

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

Helpful to know river levels and what affects it (dam releases on Columbia, snow melt on Mt Hood, weather, etc.). Know when the fish are running. Go with a guide if you can.

Although we did not catch our fish, there were plenty out there. We had two young boys in the boat and they were learning alot. We all three had a blast and now we think we are ready for the fish. Thank You!

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.

Allow plenty of time to get from the airport to the coast. The best salmon fishing is near the mouth of the Columbia River or just offshore.

Yes. I went for the experience, not just the fish. The Columbia River and Portland are beautiful.
