chinook salmon Chinook Salmon
Chinook Salmon are the largest of Pacific Salmon. Often referred to as “Kings” they return in great numbers to rivers like the Columbia, and many other along the Pacific coast. Also found in the Great Lakes, they can reach huge size, though most average between 10 – 25 pounds. Chinook are active feeders in the ocean and seem to key in on scent. Baits like eggs, herring sandshrimp and tuna bellies can be very effective whether trolled, float-fished or drifted. Plugs can be a fantastic way to catch Chinook whether anchored, backtrolled or trolled.

steelhead Steelhead
Steelhead are essentially ocean-run rainbow trout. They boast an impressive life-span and unlike salmon, they do not die after spawning. They are known for being fantastic fighters and are aggressive. Steelhead love bait like sandshrimp, eggs and prawn tails, but are also known to be voracious sight-feeders. Jigs, spinners and other artificials do a great job of enticing these impressive fish. Steelhead are typically split into two groups: winter-run and summer-run and they are found all over tributaries along the Pacific Coast, Canada, Alaska and even Russia.

white-sturgeon White Sturgeon
Sturgeon are "prehistoric" in look and nature. Their skeleton is made up of mostly cartilage and instead of scales they have bony plates called "scutes." Bottom feeders, they are quick to take many types of bait when dropped into the holes they typically reside in. You'll find Sturgeon in the Columbia River and many other water systems, typically in the deepest holes in proximity. Sturgeon fishing is usually a day full of hookups and fish landing, especially when you book with our Columbia River Guide
