Spring Chinook<\/strong>
\nThe Willamette Spring Chinook return is projected to be a little
\nbetter than last year with a little over 51,000 returning to the river.
\nThese are some of the best eating salmon by far. We can fish for
\nthese fish late March thru June.<\/p>\n

Sturgeon<\/strong>
\nWe will have a limited retention season; the dates run from May 11
\nthru June 4th .<\/p>\n

Catch and release fishing runs from early June thru July and if your
\nlooking for some action, the is a great summer fishery. These fish
\nput up a great fight and range from 20 \u2013 300 lbs, most averaging
\naround 50lbs.<\/p>\n

Last year the fishing was so good, we averaged 30 \u2013 70 fish per day.
\nSummer Ocean Fishing<\/p>\n

The fishing last year in the Ocean was very good with limits most
\ndays. The Ocean quota has doubled to 84,000 Coho and 7,700
\nChinook. This fishing should be very good and run into September
\nwith this generous quota.<\/p>\n

Fall Salmon<\/strong>
\nThe Columbia River opens August 1 st , and the projection is for the
\nbiggest return of Coho since 2014 with about 1,000,000 fish. The
\nChinook return should be similar to last year, so with numbers like
\nthese, we should have some great fishing all the way thru mid
\nOctober. As a bonus, the limit goes to three Coho September 8th .<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
