My home rivers are closed now for the rest of winter steelhead season. They will open Memorial Day weekend for summer steelhead. I am transitioning to the Cowlitz river in my my jet sled with room for up to 4 fishermen, and the Kalama river in my driftboat with room for 2. I've been intermittently fishing the Kalama river over the last few weeks with average to good fishing. I will be fishing these rivers till mid- late March. Then I'll be fishing the lower Columbia River near Longview Washington for the famed Spring Chinook through the lower river closure...

We were given a one day keeper sturgeon on February 16th. Had a great crew out and they will be going home with some sturgeon. I'm not sure when or if we will get another keeper day this year. But we can always catch and release these fun hard fighting fish.

Coastal success recently chinook and coho fishing. Fishing continues to remain steady and should through the remainder of the month. With rainfall the fish will move up river and we will potentially change techniques but should still see some good fishing.

Fishing in Astoria Oregon on the ocean and lower Columbia River. River trophy sturgeon is on and the fishing is great. Lots of big fish. This is a ton of action and fish average 5' and close to a 100lbs. Catch and release Salmon is open in the ocean. Lots of fish showing up. Pic of nice chinook today. Both coho and chinook are available. It'll stay steady and just get better.

Lots of fun left to be had winter steelhead fishing. With rain in the forecast, we should see a fresh push of fish. We also have some spring chinooks starting to show up in our rivers. So be sure to get out this spring for some of the best-tasting salmon on the planet.

Have had some good steelhead fishing recently. Weather has been cold but the fish are still biting. The season is really just starting out we should see the best fishing in febuary and March. Most of the fishing we do is bobber fishing and it's very active and fun for just about who enjoys a good day on the water.

Good fishing on the oregon coast out of Nehalem and manzanita Oregon as well as in the Portland Oregon area. Our fall chinook run is strong and the fish are beautiful. Mainly catching these fish trolling with flashers and lures.

    My dad and I took an 8 hour guided trip on the Willamette. Ken is very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and prepared. His equipment is all impressive and well maintained, he carefully explained safety procedures, he also happily shared a lot of valuable information with us about future fishing endeavors. We caught a 20 inch “15 lb” silver salmon. We will definitely book another trip with him, likely for springers!
