| We are doing our fishing from the comfort of a 25-foot North
River Boat. For sturgeon we are using bait and putting it on the
bottom where we know the sturgeon are eating. For salmon and
steelhead we are anchored up in strategic spots that we know
fish are moving through all day and setting out spinners and
wobblers. Fishing with us is made easy and comfortable so
everyone young and old can do it. We are out to have fun so you
can relax from the hectics of life. |

Sturgeon |
|
|
|
The Columbia River has the largest numbers of white sturgeon in
the world. In the spring and fall is our prime time for keeper
size sturgeon. A keeper has to be between 42 and 60 inches and
they are great to eat. We will have many days that we hook up
more then 30-40 fish a day. In mid May the giant trophy sturgeon
come up the Columbia RIver to eat shad and to spawn and that is
right where we are going to be. These trophy sturgeon will
average 200-400 pounds and will make a video you will show your
friend often. We will average 4-8 hook ups a day. |

Salmon |
|
|
|
We have several runs of salmon a year on the Columbia River.
March and April will start our spring Chinook salmon run. Then
the end of June through July we will be catching our summer king
salmon then in August through October we are catching the fall
Chinook salmon. The Columbia River is full of fishing
opportunity and salmon fishing is our legacy. |

Steelhead |
|
|
|
Steelhead are ocean run rainbow trout with an attitude. Our
summer run steelhead fishing is nothing but action. We will do
our steelhead fishing in July and august. We usually do this
while salmon fishing. When that rod goes down it's no telling
what is on the end of it. |

Walleye |
|
|
|
The Columbia River is no doubt going to put out the next world
record walleye. It is not uncommon to hear of walleye that is
caught to be in the mid teens and a 15 pound walleye is a trophy
anywhere. In our area we like fishing walleye in the summer and
fall months while the river is a little lower and a bit clearer.
We use different methods catching walleye. We use bottom walkers
with a spinner and worm harness, we troll plugs and we also do
some jigging but whatever we use we are a bite away form a world
record. |

|
Shad |
|
|
|
In the Columbia River we get a huge run of American shad. These
shad average 2-4 pounds and as soon as your lure is in the water
you will get hooked up again. The Columbia River will average
around 5 million shad a year and they just about all come up in
a 2-month time. This makes for a great kids fishery or if you
are getting your crab bait for the year. |
