Columbia River - Spring Chinook

The past couple of days we have been getting better reports coming from the Columbia. The I-5 to 205 stretch has been quite productive and we have been hearing of quite a few fish. The Willamette River has been putting in alot of color and the Columbia below where it enters has been very off color, especially on the Oregon side. By the time you get down to where Mulnomah Channel enters into the river there has been so much mixing that the Columbia is not fishable. If you are going to partake of this season spring chinnok fishery I would have to say that it is time to head down, as April 4th is the last day. We have three weekends to fish! Make sure that you get to the ramps early to get in the water as with the number of fishermen wanting to fish it just might take you 2 - 3 hours to get in the water if you are not early!

We have lots of green and red herring in stock!
