It was a good day on the river. We got this 14lb Up River Bright early in the day.

It was a beautiful sunny day on the river and the clients were great to fish with.

Spring chinook have started to show up in the local rivers around Portland. Targeting them with trolling tactics has begun to work well. A herring behind a flasher works well. Fishing will continue to improve for these amazing fish over the next few weeks and coming months.

Monday the 2nd- excellent day out on a beautiful ocean out of Tillamook/Garibaldi. Limits of rock fish and some nice lingcod. Ended up with a bonus octopus. Caught a nice cabezon that we can't keep until July 1st. Excellent rock fishing/Lingcod through the middle of June and then I will start my ocean salmon fishing out of Astoria.
