Whether it be Walleye or trophy sturgeon or spring chinook. All three species will keep you occupied through mid summer. Walleye fishing is a blast if your looking to load up the freezer for the best eating table fare that swims. Lots of action and great for families. If your looking to get on a quest to see how much you can handle then sturgeon is your fish. Normal days of 7 to 10 fish ranging between 7 to 10 feet with an occasional 12 footer is common. These fish are strong acrobatic and down rite exhausting. I start targeting these May 1 through July. Spring chinook are sought after there high fat content and hard fighting runs. Many anglers put up 100's of hours in search of these. I start targeting these in April and it will go through June. Here are a few pics of past spring trips.<br />

This winter fishery is a catch and release only. It is a very action packed day with average days of 30 to 50 fish between 2 and 5 feet. We do occasionally get in to larger fish up to 8 feet during this season. I solely use my light rods that i make and it is a blast. I have recently got a new boat and it fishes 6 great. It does have a top and a heater. I do sell licenses on board so all you have to do is show up and have a great time. Here are a few trips from the last few weeks. Thank you<br />

Mother nature had a different plan for us. Keeper sturgeon gets under way in January and usually goes till the end of the month. This year we got blasted by arctic weather the entire month and it continued all through February. The season closed mid march with very little effort and minimal harvest. The walleye fishing was about 2 months behind schedule due to the cold high water but when it finally started it was the best walleye fishing i have ever seen. In May we were doing around a 40 fish average with the best day being 77 for the boat. With the spring Chinook run being tough due to the cold water there was a lot of effort on the walleye. It continued good through July then it gradually slowed. I was fortunate enough to land what would of exceeded the state record walleye and would of been just shy of the world record. The fish was 36 inches long and had just spawned a few weeks prior to me catching it. Record numbers of shad came through this year starting at the end of May and winding down mid July. With all the snow pack we had last winter the spring run off was incredible. Oversize fishing was great with 7 to 10 fish days with a average around 8.5 feet. I started this the first week of May and it continued through the 3rd week of august this year. Fall Chinook fishing was good as i start this September 1 through October. We did have a few weather fronts that made things tough in October but overall it was a success. Looking back on the year it was a good year with a late start. I had a lot of great days on the water meeting new people and making memories. I ordered a new boat finally in February and it showed up mid October. It is huge and can comfortably fish 6 people. Am very excited for the new year. Thanks to all who make me able to do what i love to do. See you on the water. Here are a few pics to sun up 2017<br />

The keeper season on the Columbia was very tough this winter. This was the worst winter i have seen. High winds big snow freezing rain and extremely cold water made this less than desirable. The last few weeks of the season we did get in to some nice keepers. Walleye fishing is under way and will provide plenty of action for the next few months. Spring chinook are on there way. As soon as the water drops and clears it is going to be time to be on the water. We deserve sun and zero winds and 80 degree days for months on end after dealing with this winter. Hear are some pics over the last few months. Thank you!<br />

I started off the year with a short keeper sturgeon season followed by catch and release sturgeon on the Willamette river. The Willamette river provides plenty of action for fish ranging between 3 and 5 feet! 20 to 50 fish days are very common while being targeted with lighter rods makes for a very action packed day. Next we were on to walleye's on the Columbia. Starting in The 3rd week of February through May provided plenty of action and in my opinion the best eating fish there is. 10 to 20 fish days were very common this spring. Next was salmon. It was up and down with the low clear water but we managed to get a few. I spent many months targeting the "BIG BOYS". We did land 4 fish over 12 feet this year with the average fish around 8.5 feet. With all of the snow pack going in to the new year it is shaping up to be a great year. I moored the boat yesterday for the keeper sturgeon season and have high hopes. Looked very good! Hear are a few pics of 2016 and thank to everyone who made it possible for me to do what i love to do!<br />

Walleye fishing has been great for the past month. It is starting to slow down a bit with all the pressure that there has been. Catch and release sturgeon has been red hot in the Willamette and will continue to get better with the river levels coming back in to shape. I did my first spring salmon trip a few days ago and ended up with a few nice fish. The next few months are going to be great fishing. Here are a few pics from the last few weeks.<br />

When ever the wind switched to the west were able to get some keepers. The fish were in amazingly great shape this winter. The catch and release sturgeon fishery on the Willamette is going great. We are averaging around 15 fish a rod on full day trips. The hottest thing going rite now is walleye fishing. Great table fair and a blast to catch these fish will be going through October. With the Columbia running about 4 degrees above average the fish are on the bite. Spring Chinook are starting to be caught sporadically and will arrive in good numbers the first week of April. I only have a handful of dates open through October so if your planning that summer vacation i would love to get you on the water and make it a memorable day for you! Thanks to all that help me do what i love to do! Hear are a few pics from the past 7 weeks.<br />

Since i have not shared pics since March here is a recap of the year. We finished up strong on the oversize on the Willamette. Spring chinook started the first week of April and went well in to June with a mix of summer chinook as well. We had a small keeper season in June as we normally do and it was on fire as usual. Shad showed the last week of May and we proceeded to fill all the freezers for the upcoming oversize fishery. The oversize fishery on the Columbia was the best hands down that i have seen in 25 years. We landed two fish over 12 feet and another dozen 11 footers. The largest fish that i have seen in a long time. This fishery went well in to October. Fall Chinook was on fire from the last week of August through Oct 23. It was a great year! I spent the fall hunting and doing some well deserved family time. Next hot bite is winter keeper sturgeon,oversize and spring chinook starting April 1. Here are a few pics.</h4>

The water temp came up a few degrees last week and set it on fire! On my last trip i had 5 guys in the boat and we landed 19 fish 14 of them were oversize and we had two doubles on oversize. I had the day off on Friday so we tried our luck on steelhead. It was surprisingly good. The summers have entered the Willamette and are in greater numbers than the winter fish. Here are a few pics from last week.

On Wednesday Jeff and Doug joined me on the Willamette in search of some beasts. The tides were in our favor all day and the barometer had been stable for the past three days. The anticipation was high. We got a bit of rain last week that rose the river just enough enough to move some fish around. We were on anchor less than 5 minutes when we got our first fish a fat 9 footer. The second was another 9 footer and shortly after that a 7 footer. We were not getting a lot of bites but what we did get was well worth the wait. We had a few more opportunities and finally we hooked in to a beast. This one was 10 1/2 feet and pissed. In the fall we get a lot of migratory fish that come in from the Columbia to winter over in the Willamette and you can always tell when you get a fresh one. They do not give up nearly as easy. We came off the anchor and floated by a hand full of boats that were trying there luck. When it was all said and done it had taken us about a mile down river and about 40 minutes to bring it to the boat. Where else can you go and catch these beasts in your back yard. I am very fortunate that i grew up in the Northwest and got to experience this fishery because it is truly awesome. Thanks to all who have made it possible for me to do what i truly love to do. Take care and see you on the water.

The water level is very low but it will be coming up with this weeks rain. I have been focusing my time in Oregon City looking for big fish and it is paying off. Noah and Audra joined me for a 1/2 day trip on Sunday. I had high expectations but with the low flows the fish were on the move. We ended rite back in Oregon City and had a few hours of arm burning action. Noah landed several nice fish and caught the biggest fish of his life. Most fish are biting on squid but i anticipate the smelt bite to take off this week with the rising water. The water temp is up to 46 degrees and a few fish are getting some hang time. We did have a 7 footer jump 4 times but i was not fast enough on the camera but i did get another oversize jump. there are more and more springers being caught throughout the lower river and the sea lions are eating a few down in the harbor. End of March it will be go time on this fishery. Here are some pics from this past week. Take care

I fished Monday Thurs,Friday and Saturday. Oversize in the Oregon City area has been very productive. All fish in this area are being caught on squid in 30-60 feet of water. Big fish of the week was a 9 footer on Thursday. In the four days we landed 34 fish. 12 of which were oversize. Water temp is up to 47. We did have one fish that jumped four times. Back on the water tomorrow.

We finished up with great results. The west wind had been blowing all week and conditions were not ideal.I will be on the Willamette all week chasing oversize. There were a few salmon caught over the weekend. As the water drops and clarity improves i will be chasing them in the harbor. Thanks and see you on the water.NW Sturgeon Adventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07949950700521288079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341422031310813093.post-82692496272105582972013-02-06T14:44:00.000-08:002013-02-06T14:44:11.328-08:00Keeper sturgeon continues to be great. We are averaging 40 to 60 fish days to get limits. The weather has warmed and the winds have died way down. Here are a few pics from this past week. I hear there are a few springers in the system. I will start targeting them about the third week in March. Take care and see you on the water

Now we can get down to business. Contrary to odfw fishing has been very good in the pool. Action is great with many days of 40 plus fish. The keeper ratio is off this year due to the cold water temp. Deep water and lite rods makes for a great day. We are averaging 2 to 5 keepers a day depending on the west winds. The boat pressure is very lite. I have the boat moored in Cascade Locks and the fish checker finally found me today. It only took a month! Here are a few pics from this past week. Take care

I had a day off and decided to take advantage of the clear dropping water of the Willamette. This is not seen very often as the Willamette pushes its banks in the winter months. Even though the action was slow we did manage to land a nice hatchery <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

with the new barbless rules in effect it did not seem to matter. In the George it was a bit different. As the new year came so did the east winds. The winds on Monday were way beyond fishable and that continued Tuesday through Thursday. Friday we finally got out and the winds were still screaming so we pulled the boat out and headed for Hood River. It was as flat as can be but we did not land any keepers. 40 fish. On Saturday we ended up getting a break from the winds and got some keepers as well as 50 shakers. This week is getting off to a rough start as the man is calling for big south winds that will continue to Wednesday morning.See you on the water

It was an interesting drive this morning but well worth it. I had a steady client out today Jeff Ague in search of oversize sturgeon. Jeff has a passion for big sturgeon and is on a quest to continuously beet his record. I can appreciate this as the white sturgeon holds a special spot in my heart. To catch oversize and target them in the middle of winter is not that easy. You have to take in to account all of the variables that are occurring in the winter months. Today we focused on back eddy's as close to the falls as we could get. With the water temp at 44 degrees i knew where the fish would be stacked and they were. In the first hour we landed 4 overs in 20 feet of water and then it died. We opted to try another location and it was good but just smaller fish. We headed back up to the original location but dropped the hook so we were fishing in 35 feet of water. It was only 5 minutes between fish and we boated another 4 overs. The last fish i got for 2012 was a fat 52". Good karma<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As the new year approaches it brings new enthusiasm on my behalf. I am ready to create a bunch of new memories. The Willamette is still on fire with lots of quality fish around. Headed out Sunday to do some over size fishing. The keeper season kicks off on Tuesday. I do have 10 days open on this fishery. Anticipating great results as long as the wind is not screaming. Here are a few pics from a recent trip on the Willamette. Happy new year and see you on the water.

certain. Sturgeon fishing is on fire! Even though it is a catch and release fishery it is untapped with pressure of man. Water levels have rose and clarity has diminished to mere inches and it is go time if you are looking for action. Today we had a great day fishing big water. As sea lions breached looking for salmon in the stained waters sturgeon were every where. We landed fish in 10 feet up to 40 feet. At times it was hard to tell when we were getting bit there were so many fish cruising in search of there next meal. We landed about 16 fish today with 7 overs 2 4 footers and a hand full of shakers. Big fish today was a 7 foot 9 inch caught by Doug. Thanks to Joe Doug and Jeff for the good times. Here are some pics. Check out the flows coming off of the falls (very impressive)Take careNW Sturgeon Adventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07949950700521288079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341422031310813093.post-70121501616085507422012-11-20T08:39:00.000-08:002012-11-20T08:39:17.848-08:00 November Willamette sturgeonSturgeon fishing on the Willamette is red hot. The over size bite has been very good in the upper river and the fall migration of fish have returned once again to spend the winter in the Willamette. This time of year is a blast to take part of the catch and release sturgeon fishery. There are very few boats and thousands of fish. The quality of fish this time of year is excellent with lots of fish between 4 and 5 feet and a bunch of very hungry over size. I like to break out the lite rods (15-14lb) custom jig and live bait glass rods. These rods give you the lite tips for sensitive bites and back bone to bring up to 9 footers. It is also a great time of year to reflect back on this years progress. New things learned and old ones fine tuned. I learned a lot this year and look forward to fine tuning that as time goes on. Here are a few pics from last week. Take care<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I got to spend some time with my great friends from Minnesota. We started out over size fishing on the Willamette. Fished about 6 days and landed over 55 pigs. On a scale of 1 to ten i would give this one a ten! Monica Redman landed the big fish for the group at 9 1/2 feet. (Great Job)We then fished salmon for three days below Bonneville and it was great.

dark fish i have ever seen. In three days we landed 15 Chinook. There are only a couple hundred going over the dam each day but with the cooler water they are all hungry. Headed out hunting good luck and see ya on the water.

I will be posting every Sunday. What a great year it has been. With all of the regulation changes on keeper sturgeon I had to expand and it has been a blast. This spring we fished the Willamette hard for Springers with great success. Did a bunch of walleye fishing starting in April and moved in to summer Steelhead in June. Fall Chinook on the Columbia is still good and over size sturgeon on the Willamette is as always crazy. In the past two days we have landed 14 fish over 6 feet. The cascade locks keeper fishery this past winter was great. The only dissapointment for 2012 was the September over size fishery on the Columbia. The sea lions have had a major impact on this fishery and it is now evident that something needs to be done in order to bring these breeders back to the Columbia. Well enough of that here are some picks and i will get you some fresh reports next Sunday.

Conditions were much different with the high water and cooler temps. The migration of the sturgeon was about 6 weeks off schedule making for a pretty tough fall bite. The Columbia being at flood stage pretty much killed the May sturgeon bite for keepers. Thank god for the salmon to suck up some of the slack. We did a fair amount of walleye fishing and had some great success. Had a blast salmon fishing spring and fall. Due to all the regulation changes on sturgeon fishing i am going to be guiding for Walleye,salmon,steelhead and sturgeon for 2012. Never thought that it would happen but i am very excited for the new adventures to begin. Predictions for the Willamette springers for 2012 are 83,000 and 314,000 for the Columbia. Summers are around 91,000. How can you not get excited about that. Here are a few pics to sum it all up. Thanks to all and see you on the water.<br /><br />Charlie FosterNW Sturgeon Adventureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07949950700521288079noreply@blogger.com0
