Astoria Fishing Report
Astoria offers a variety of fantastic fishing options throughout the year. We’ve added some new ocean experiences this year with the addition of Legion’s Mercy, our 34′ Venture, center-console boat. Between the new boat and our classic sled trips, there are fishing opportunities for everyone. We’ll be keeping you up to speed with current fishing […]
Introducing Legion’s Mercy
The past few weeks we’ve had some amazing fishing out of Astoria. I haven’t seen early ocean fishing like this for awhile – a flat ocean, beautiful weather, and mostly limits of salmon make for a perfect day on the water. But we decided to throw in something new while we’re out on the ocean […]

Looking Ahead: 2020 Astoria Fishing Opportunities

Salmon Rodeo
The end of summer often means it’s time to take the family to the fairgrounds for food, games and livestock. But as far as I’m concerned, the best rodeo around doesn’t involve broncs or bulls. It’s all about Fall Salmon in Oregon and Washington. Tillamook Salmon Saturday, August 31st, is opening day for the second […]
Ready, Set, Go! It’s Fall Salmon Season!
