Trip Summary

Fishing has been picking up over the last handful of days. The Columbia river should continue to put out fish until it closes on the 10th of April. Then its back to fishing the Willamette river which has been consistent fishing all year. Any day we have a spring chinook on board the boat it is a good day. Fishing should be in the willamette all the way through June. So your dates now!
