Columbia River fishing report 7/26/2023

By July 26, 2023Fishing Reports

It’s finally time! The Bouy 10 and lower Columbia River season for Fall Chinook has began! The most anticipated fishery of the year is just a few short days away! We’ll be fishing in Astoria Oregon for the entire month of August catching big chinook daily!

Bouy 10 is a very large area located at the mouth of the Columbia River with nearly 40 square miles of fishable water. The scenery is always great, but what makes fishing excellent is every fish in the Columbia River passes through these fishing grounds.

Luckily, when Buoy 10 is over, we follow the migration of fish upstream to the mouth of the Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers. Fishing is typically every bit as good as it is in Astoria throughout the month of September in these area’s.

If catching some big chinook and coho are on your to do list this year, now is seriously the time to book. Let’s get out there and get em! See you on the water!
