Astoria, Oregon sits at the mouth of the Columbia River where the famous Buoy 10 fishery offers world-class opportunities to catch hard-fighting Chinook (King) and Coho (Silver) Salmon as they enter the river from the Pacific Ocean on their annual migration upstream.

This area is one of the most popular Salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest because anglers can intercept large numbers of fresh ocean-run Salmon staging near the river mouth before heading upriver to spawn.

Trips are family-friendly and children are welcome, making it a great experience for anglers of all skill levels. All anglers require a valid Washington or Oregon fishing license and Columbia River Endorsement.

For the best experience, pack a lunch, dress for coastal weather, and get ready for a full day chasing Salmon on the water. The combination of scenic coastal views, powerful migrating Salmon, and the excitement of fishing one of the Northwest's most famous fisheries makes Buoy 10 a must-do adventure for any angler.
