While some may be waiting for the Ocean Salmon Season to open up this Saturday, June 22nd, we’ve been staying busy fishing for salmon and bottom fish in Tillamook, and Trophy Sturgeon in Astoria. Once the Pacific Ocean opens up for salmon, we’ll have even more fishing opportunities at the Oregon Coast. Tillamook Fishing Tillamook […]
Many people enjoy getting out of town to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend with friends and family. This year was no different and the Oregon Coast had some beautiful weather that was perfect for fishing. It’s just the start of summer and we’re excited for all of the fishing that will take place in the […]
May and June offer a variety of fishing opportunities. We try to run our guided fishing trips and charters where the fish are and currently that’s Astoria, Portland, and Tillamook. We’re fishing for sturgeon, salmon, steelhead, and bottom fish, which gives lots of options to choose from depending on where you live or are vacationing. Keeper […]
Tillamook Bay’s Wilson and Trask River are ready for big things if we can get some rain. The lack of rain is getting a bit old, but we’ve managed to slug it out this week anyway. Only one day of poor results and several decent days means we’re doing better than most. It pays to […]
The Wilson, Trask and Nestucca Rivers will bring loads of fun for November Salmon fishermen. River fishing for fall salmon in Tillamook County holds special meaning for me as a guide. Having cut my teeth as a guide on the Wilson, Trask and Nestucca Rivers, the month of November really gets my blood going. I’ll […]
A video is a great way to make a guide proud. A big thanks to Steve B. for passing these video’s along. The group had a nice day together on all fronts. The Tillamook weather cooperated and the Salmon did as well. This video is of “Lucky” Larry and first of his two fish for […]
I circle the hold over tides at Tillamook Bay in January when I start booking trips. I love fishing these tides and was excited to arrive from an incredible Columbia River Gorge season to a system full of big chrome Fall Chinook. I’ve had a number of great folks out in the last week and […]
White Salmon, Klickitat and Deschutes River Salmon fishing shines, even through the storm. This past week has continued what’s been a very special run on the Columbia River. Whether the White Salmon, Klickitat, or Deschutes, the fishing has been supberb. Last weeks storm threatened fishing and frankly, I wasn’t sure how the significant pressure changes […]
Wilson, Trask and Nestucca Rivers get primed for Salmon fishing Wow, what a rain. Although I missed most of it being on the east side fishing Columbia River Salmon at the Deschutes and Klickitat Rivers, the aftermath of this early fall storm was obvious. Tillamook County Rivers all went over their banks creating a waiting […]
A State Wide Agenda disguissed as “The Coastal Plan” could hurt Tillamook Bay Fishing. It’s the best collection of Salmon and steelhead fishing rivers (Wilson, Trask and Kilchis, Miami and Tillamook Rivers) meeting up as what’s known as Tillamook Bay. Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine listed this fishery in it’s Top 10 some years back and […]
