SALMON FISHERIES
Oregon and Washington offer a number of fisheries for Salmon. Beginning from April through July, the highly sought after Spring Chinook are targeted on the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers in Oregon City, as well as the Columbia River. These “Springers” are highly sought after world-wide, and considered to many as the best tasting and most flavorful salmon.
The Fall Chinook run on numerous rivers August through December. Many anglers prize these fish for their size, averaging 20-35 pounds. Brian targets these fish on the Columbia River at Bonneville all the way up to the mouth of the Klickitat river.
Silver Salmon, known as “Coho,” are also very popular. They average 10-20 pounds, and the fight is action packed. They usually run with the Fall Chinook at Buoy 10 and Bonneville.
