Fishing Season is Here!

Wake up anglers! Fishing season is upon us. Big Fish in the form of white sturgeon that run up to 14 feet can satisfy even the most picky angler. An hour on the end of a stout Tuna rod hooked to a 12-foot fish is enough to “rubber-arm” anyone.

Springer season is starting in the mid-Columbia and will run through early May. Anyone can tell you that the spring salmon are the tastiest fish caught in Oregon. 

But at the same time the Walleye are on the bite so that makes for some combo fishing trips.  There are still some Walleye wall-hangers in those deep pools that would make your tongue hang out. The Columbia is still one of the few places anglers can take 10-pound or better Walleyes.

Next on the agenda are Channel Cat Fish in June up the lower John Day River. Those Cats run from 3 to 25-pounds and are blast on light rods.  And then it’s back to Walleye again until the summer-run steelhead and fall salmon show in July. That fishing adventure will last until late November on the Big Columbia River with a lot of action on trolled crankbaits and spinners.
