Portland Or fishing report 5/7/23

Portland Or fishing report 5/7/23 With flows increasing on the Columbia River the last few days, Willamette River has risen drastically. I usually call this Lake Willamette. But with that said, salmon fishing has really improved. I have been fishing the lower Willamette River by the head of the channel.

Astoria Oregon Fishing Guide and Charters

Astoria Oregon Fishing Guide and Charters

I run a fishing charter service in Astoria, Oregon. Our guided fishing excursions set sail from the Port of Astoria and adjacent marinas. Astoria is among my preferred fishing locations on the Oregon coast for several reasons. The area’s diverse range of fish species, such as salmon, sturgeon, lingcod, halibut, and seabass, is one of these reasons.

2023 Spring Salmon Fishing Extended on the Columbia River

We have four more days to catch spring chinook salmon on the Columbia River.

Officials in Oregon and Washington extended the season to Tuesday, April 11, adding four more days to catch springers on the big river. (The river had originally been scheduled to close after Friday, April 7, so the  decision gives us another weekend and a few days next week to fish the Columbia.)

Salmon Fishing is OPEN on the Columbia River

Salmon fishing is open on the Columbia River in the Portland area (below Bonneville Dam) through April 7, 2023

I’ve fielded a few calls because news reports have stated that salmon fishing is closed. Those closures only affect the Pacific Ocean south of Cape Falcon (near Cannon Beach). The closures do not affect the spring chinook salmon fishery currently underway in the Columbia River.
