2021 LOWER COLUMBIA SPRING CHINOOK SALMON GUIDED FISHING TRIPS
The upcoming guided fishing trips for the 2021 spring Chinook salmon season have got us stoked!!
We just got some exciting news that we are going to have a spring Chinook season on the lower Columbia River for the first time since 2018!! The fishing area considered the lower Columbia Region spans from Buoy 10 near Astoria and runs upriver to Bonneville Dam. Depending on many variables, we will likely target Spring Chinook Salmon near Clatskanie, Westport, and St. Helens, Oregon.
This fishery is literally in my backyard and can be very productive for these unbelievable tasty fish (best-eating fish on the planet in my opinion!). Our local knowledge of the waterways and fishery is what gives us the advantage here.
Our plan is to start fishing from March 24th through when it closes on April 4th. There also could be an extension for the spring Chinook season after April 4th where we may get an extra opportunity on the Columbia near St. Helens. Otherwise, we will be fishing the Willamette River near St. Helens just outside of Portland through the remainder of the spring Chinook season.
