Lower Columbia River Salmon & Steelhead Adventures – Longview, Washington

Experience some of the best salmon fishing Washington has to offer on the legendary Lower Columbia River. Launching out of Longview, we’ll target trophy-sized Fall Chinook (King Salmon), Summer Steelhead, and Coho Salmon as they push upriver fresh from the Pacific Ocean tides.

Our trips focus on trolling proven techniques to intercept these hard-fighting, chrome-bright fish during peak migration. Whether you’re chasing your first salmon or looking for a true Columbia River giant, this fishery consistently produces exciting action and unforgettable memories.

Fall Chinook, Coho, and Summer Steelhead are among the Columbia River’s premier sportfish, drawing anglers from across the Northwest each season. The Columbia supports renowned recreational fisheries for these returning salmon and steelhead runs

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
