Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most important to anglers.

 

The two are often found in the same waters and pursued in much the same way, but the Chinook is the larger of the two and highly prized among anglers.


Return Timing: Spring Chinook adults spend three to four years in the ocean before returning to the hatchery. Averaging 15 pounds and weighing up to 40 pounds, these fish are a prize catch of anglers on both the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

The eating quality and flavor of the spring Chinook meat is highly regarded as some of the best. It contains the most Omega 3 oils of all the species of salmon. Spring salmon, sometimes referred to as Springers, are available in the Columbia River and Willamette River March through June.

Columbia Upriver Brights
(August-October) In August we begin targeting Columbia Upriver Brights on the Columbia River from Astoria to Bonneville Dam.

Intercepting a 35-pound fall salmon bound for Idaho is one a heck of a battle for both experienced and beginner anglers. In this fishery boats anchor up in known slots of the river where salmon travel and fish with spinners and wobblers.

A relaxing way to fish, yet very exciting when a fish slams your rod and strips line from your reel.
 

A Fishing License as well as applicable tags should be obtained prior to your trip.

Chinook Salmon
Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most important to anglers. The two are often found in the same waters and pursued in much the same way, but the Chinook is the larger of the two and highly prized among anglers.

The Columbia River Gorge is a prime area to target Chinook salmon. When hooked, Chinook like to slug it out, while Coho are acrobatic and quick.

Chinook are also known as the king salmon or spring salmon, sometimes misspelled as samon or samen.

Chinook salmon are powerful swimmers that migrate hundreds of miles up northwest rivers to their spawning grounds, and they can grow huge. The rod-and-reel world record was taken in Alaska's Kenai River in 1985 and weighed 97 pounds, 4 ounces.

 

Most fish caught by northwest anglers, however, range from 15 to 40 pounds. At the end of a fishing line, Chinooks are absolute brutes - hard-running, stubborn fighters that will give you all the challenge you can handle, and sometimes more. Trip information
