Spring chinook salmon are in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers in huge numbers now. This years run is shaping up to be even bigger than the record run size that was predicted. The fishing now is limited to above Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River after salmon fisherman easily reached the allowed catch from the dam to the Mouth.

This is good news for the fisherman above the dams that many years get shut down because of high catch rates below the dams. This years run of fish looks to be large enough they wont have to worry about that this year. The popular Drano Lake and Wind River fisheries are in full swing now with great success on plentiful salmon being had by all. The Columbia isnt the only show in town, the Willamette River in Oregon is also experiencing huge numbers of returning spring salmon and steelhead. The Willamette River which flows through downtown Portland is absoulutely full of fish now and its still open for fishing with a two salmon per person limit. The fish numbers and catch numbers are going to be very good into early or even mid May. If you like to salmon fish, now is the time to get in on some of this red hot salmon fishing action. Spring chinook salmon are well known for being the best eating salmon on the planet. I do have a few open dates left if your interested in a guided trip, call 503-551-6369
