Oregon Fishing- A guide to news, reports and information for Salmon, steelhead and sturgeon fishing for Oregon rivers and ocean.
One of the great features of Tillamook is the variety of water we get to fish. From the salt water of the ocean and bays to the freshwater of the river systems, there’s something for everyone. Late fall and winter are the season of Tillamook drift boat trips. A lot of fall salmon have already […]
UPDATE: HATCHERY COHO RETENTION LEWIS RIVER EXTENDED! We’re halfway through October and the Pacific Northwest continues to provide multiple opportunities for Fall Salmon fishing.

Tillamook County is home to Salmon fishing in 3 bays (Tillamook, Nestucca, Nehalem), 5 rivers (Wilson, Trask, Kilchis, Nestucca, Nehalem) and the Pacific Ocean.

It’s the final countdown to Buoy 10 Salmon Season on the Columbia River. The river opens for fall salmon fishing this Friday, August 14th. Astoria is ready and so are we. As much as we enjoyed ocean salmon and trophy sturgeon fishing, nothing can compare to what takes place during the Buoy 10 season. If […]
When Portland temperatures head toward triple digits, the Oregon Coast is a favorite escape for many.

Astoria summer fishing is in full swing and will run right into fall fishing next month when we shift our […]
