Sturgeon
Fishing
This year was definitely one of my toughest but also my most
rewarding. We fished hard and pulled it out in the end
almost every time. It was another year that was very close
to perfect. They extended our season to Aug 15th, due to
tough fishing. What a bonus! Keep your ears open, I'm
expecting an extension again this year.

Salmon Fishing
The Buoy 10 Salmon fishery just like the Sturgeon was
tough, but again we stayed with it and made it a very fun
and successful year. One day in particular we limited by
noon with 14 fish that yielded 162# of fillets! I then
gathered up another crew and limited again by 4 pm with some
beautiful Chinook Salmon. |

Steelhead Fishing
Steelhead has been one of our more stable
fisheries over the last few years, with no closures and
decreased pressure. This has been due to the increased
popularity of Springer fishing which goes on at the same
time. If your looking for a relaxing day floating down a
beautiful river while catching multiple fish, call me from
now until mid April. The new drift boat is great!! |

Combo Fishing Trips
Due to the extension of Sturgeon season 1 was able
to pound out some limits of both Salmon and Sturgeon
again. That sure makes for a great time!! I hope I
can treat every one of you to that experience some
day.
Springer Fishing Trips
The Springer fishing again was difficult, but if you
were there on one of those good days all of the rain
and boredom were well worth it. Four days in a row
we landed 6 to 9 fish. Trolling really works for
Springers. If we have good water conditions I expect
consistent fishing in late March and early April.

Here is a list of restaurants that I highly recommend while
you visit Astoria. The Schooner, Stephanie's Cabin,
Silver Salmon, Dodgers and Ships Inn. I
choose these restaurants for a few reasons, first is there
quality of food but they also support you and I as sport
fisherman. There are some business owners in the area who do
not??? I will also have a list of local hotels soon, if you
need this info please call me. |
