Columbia River fishing report 07/06/2021

We just wrapped up our Summer Chinook season and what an awesome season it was!  Having the chance to fish the Columbia River two weeks earlier than normal this year made for a beat down on a daily basis!  You want to get ahold of me for next years run early.  It’s not one to miss!

Now it’s time to move on to the next best thing. Summer Steelhead!  We will be targeting Summer Steelhead on the tributaries of the Columbia with light tackle and constant casting throughout the river.  Summer Steelhead are a blast to catch because of their typical acrobatics when they get hooked.  They also fight really hard, especially on our light gear we will be using.

Typically, Summer Steelhead fishing is best from the 10th of July- the 30th. I have dates available still for this fishery so contact me asap to get in on the action.

Next up will be our favorite time of year. Fall Chinook and Coho Salmon!  I’m so excited about this years runs because they were both forecasted to be gigantic!  With over a half a million chinook and over a million Coho forecasted, this is going to be one of those years to remember! Judging by the number of fish that have returned already in all of out other species, I think this forecast is on track and we are in for a real treat!

I have a few days left for the fall, but not a whole lot. Right now I have Aug 3-7 15,18, and the 31st available. September I have some days on the beginning but not much for the end.  Either way, get ahold of me and we’ll go over dates. I also have afternoon’s available on certain days, so don’t be afraid to call even if you think you’re too late.  Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones!
