We had a good couple of days chasing Spring Chinook on the Columbia River out of Portland. The fishing wasn’t hot but we managed to land some fish. These are the best tasting fish that swim. We still have some dates available for the Willamete, Drano, and the Wind. Plus we are going to get an Idaho season this year so get in touch with us and we will fill you in on availability. 
I had the pleasure of jumping on a buddies boat today on the Columbia River near Portland. We had a decent day going 2-3 with 3 rods fishing. Fish were caught today downstream trolling herring. My boat is open Friday April, 6th if anyone wants to get in on this great fishery! We also have openings for the Willamette River next week and the Columbia Gorge later in April through mid May.

Had another great day chasing Walleye on the Columbia River. We ended up well into the double digits for 2 anglers. Most of our fish were 18-20 inches! Nothing beats these great eating Walleye. We have opening over the next two weeks and plenty of open dates in May and June. Get with Dani in our office at 208-669-1569 or Book Online.
Today all our fish were caught trolling worm harnesses. Our key was switching blade colors until we got it perfectly tuned in. For an article that describes exactly how we troll for Walleye click Here.
Had a great start to our day today before the wind came up and blew us off the river. We had 6 fish in the box the first hour. All our fish were caught pulling worm harnesses on 3 oz bottom bouncers. We have lots of open dates for Walleye now – the end of June.
We continue to see some fantastic fishing for Columbia River Walleye. Yesterday we found most of our fish in just a few locations and concentrating on short trolls where were were getting bites was our key to success. Our fish over the past few days have been spitting up quite a few juvenile pacific lamprey. This seems to be a major food source for our Walleye this time of year. We have been using beads that resemble the color patterns of lamprey on our spinner rigs to sort of try and match the hatch, and constantly changing blade colors until we find the magic combination for the day. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors until you start getting bites.
We have a detailed article on how we go about fishing with spinner rigs for Columbia River Walleye here.
We had another fantastic day of Walleye fishing yesterday on the Columbia River. We fished the past few days in the area around John Day Dam.

The Walleye bite on the Columbia River is heating up! We had a great day today mostly jigging, but we also caught fish in worm spinners with bottom walkers. We have openings now through June for the best tasting white flesh fish that swim. 
Today was our first trip of the year for Columbia River Walleye, and although we didn’t whack em today we did get into some very nice fish. The big fish of today was the 27 inch 9 pound specimen landed by my good friend Jamie Hubbard. This fish came on a purple holographic rapala husky Jerk. This fish was release to complete her spawning journey!
We continue to do well on Idaho’s Clearwater River despite the recent cold snap. Fishing has slowed down over the past week, but our boats are still out getting 5-10 a day and finding some really good fish in the process. The picture featured in this report is of a young man’s first steelhead! We will be wrapping up our Steelhead season this weekend and moving our focus to Columbia River Walleye!
