November Salmon Closures- A Closer Look
Anyone who has done a lot of fishing here in the PNW knows that 2018 was not the best fishing. Of course there were some good days of fishing, but catch rates overall were not up to par. I know there’s more to fishing than the catching, but let’s not kid ourselves. I’m not into […]
Tillamook Drift Boat Fishing- Here Comes the Rain
With our up and down Tillamook Bay Fall Fishing season still going, our first big rain looms. From the forecast its looking like our rain pattern is suppose to get going this week. This is the rain everyone talks about every fall, the rain that moves the fish into the rivers. We’re not talking a […]
Tillamook Salmon: The Fall Run is On!
Over the last few weeks there has been a change in the air out in Tillamook County. The mornings have gotten a little colder, there is frost on the grass, and we have even been given some small shots of rain, refreshing the region from a long dry summer; fall is here and with it […]
Nehalem Bay Salmon: Early Coast Special
When it comes to the north coast estuaries, all everyone seems to talk about is Tillamook Bay. Just a few miles north is its little brother: Nehalem Bay. Nehalem doesn’t get the press Tillamook does, which is something the locals probably like! It is interesting that it gets overlooked, even though it is just an […]
Buoy 10 Fishing Update: Coho Rodeo!
Buoy 10 is off to a great start: a flat ocean with a better than expected number of coho have made for action packed days with consistent limits until a NW settled in today! River reports have been spotty, as most guides have been fishing the nothing-short-of-epic coho fishing at the mouth of the Columbia […]
Astoria, Buoy 10 Salmon Opener
Buoy 10 is here! Fishing has been solid in the ocean off Astoria and as predicted, the opener in the river was not overly impressive. Why you might ask? Well the tides are not favorable and two, fish come into the river when they decide. They don’t use our calendars;) Our guides ran into the […]
Astoria Ocean Salmon Fishing: A Promising Outlook
The anticipation is growing for the Astoria, Buoy 10 Salmon season! But here at Lance Fisher Fishing, we have already been running charters and guided fishing trips for those same salmon that will show up in Astoria a couple weeks from now. The ocean season in the Astoria area opened the 23rd of June and when […]
Tillamook Bay Spring Fishing Bounty
Tillamook Bay is well known for its fall Chinook fishery, but what many people don’t know is that it also gets a spring Chinook run as well. Couple this with the potential for bottom fish and crab, and you can have an awesome day of guided fishing when the conditions align! The season is just […]
Portland Spring Fishing- Let’s do it!
April feels like the first big month of fishing in the Portland area. With Salmon fishing on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers and Sturgeon fishing available on both, we have lots of fishing options to choose from through June. We try to keep the Lance Fisher Fishing Facebook and our fishing Instagram feed going during […]

The Astoria fishing calendar is officially underway for 2018. And while there is lots of fishing to come, the Columbia River Spring Chinook fishing that happens in the lower river is taking center stage at the moment. The Spring Chinook season on the Columbia River is a short one and is currently slated to last […]
