The time has come! Spring time! The fishing season begins now, and from what the season forecasts look like for every species, it’s going to be an awesome fishing in 2021! Starting off we’ve been doing fishing trips for hatchery and wild steelhead on the tributaries of the Columbia and have been having a blast! Now we are gearing up for the most prized salmon of the Northwest. Spring Chinook.
This years Spring Chinook season is looking much better than last years as we are allowed to fish a little lower in the Columbia than the past couple years. Being able to fish lower in the Columbia puts us below the Willamette River which is expected to get 50,000 + springers this season! Not only will we be fishing for Columbia bound Spring Chinook, we will have our chances double by getting in front of Willemette springers as well.
After the Columbia River season shuts down on April 4th, we will move directly into the Willamette the remainder of the season. Fishing on the Willamette can be red hot until early June. This years spring chinook season is looking very exciting so don’t miss out.
I’d like to thank everyone who came out last season and every season before. This has been a challenging year for all of us and I’m so thankful for being able to keep my sanity in check and go fishing! We are finally on the upswing of our fishing runs across the board and I feel like it’s going to be an epic season this year! Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones. See you on the water!
