Willamette Valley Fishing Report – We’re in peak spring Chinook season in the Portland area. Did you notice that the dogwoods are in full bloom; maybe not a coincidence? The Columbia River, although not explosive, is regularly productive. Fish are well distributed throughout the lower river downstream of Bonneville Dam with catch rates good in…

Willamette Valley Fishing Report – Anglers are beginning to report more consistent action from the spring Chinook fishery on the lower Columbia. Although it’s still not great fishing from day to day, anglers can now go out and reasonably expect a chance at catching a springer anywhere below Bonneville Dam. Creel checks remain best in…
Late Winter Steelhead
Pro guide Chris Vertopoulos (503-349-1377) entertained father/daughter combination Jack and Sarah Simser on the Trask River on March 27th. The duo landed 4 late run winter steelhead using a mix of 3.5 Mag lip plugs and bobber doggin’ bait. It’s getting to the tail end of the run but action is still decent.

Willamette Valley Fishing Report – Spring Chinook anglers remain diligent but their efforts are not paying large dividends. Trollers working the I-5 to Cathlamet reach are producing occasional results but the gorge troll fishery remains the best bet for the few anglers fishing it.

Willamette Valley Fishing Report – The spring chinook fishery is underway with veteran anglers expecting action just about every time out.

Steelheading remains ho-hum on most systems
SW Washington – Steelheading remains ho-hum on most systems in this district but unsurprisingly, the Cowlitz remains a good bet for steelhead for the next several weeks. Spring chinook should start to show here soon although catches won’t ramp up for another month. The smelt season was fantastic here but is not closed and many…
Catches are certainly sporadic in the NW
Willamette Valley/Metro – More reports of spring chinook are coming in from the mainstem Columbia. Although far from good fishing, good water conditions, great weather and angler effort is contributing a perceived increase in angler success. The trend is likely to continue as we near mid-March and higher concentrations of mostly Willamette bound chinook enter…
