Fishing Guide in Astoria, Oregon

Fishing out of Astoria, Oregon, puts you right at the mouth of the Columbia River, a gateway to incredible fishing opportunities. The tidal influence here creates a unique environment for all three of our target species. We can target massive Sturgeon in the deep channels, pursue migrating Salmon as they enter the river system, and find resident or migrating Steelhead in the various tributaries and main river areas.

During the fall, Astoria is a hotspot for Coho and Chinook Salmon. Winter brings excellent Steelhead opportunities, and Sturgeon fishing is often productive year-round, though spring and summer can be particularly good for larger specimens. A charter from Astoria offers the chance to battle powerful fish in a dynamic estuary setting. We'll navigate the currents and channels, using techniques honed over years of fishing this productive region, aiming to put you onto some fantastic action.

We depart from our Columbia River, WA home base to fish the waters accessible from Astoria. This allows us to leverage our familiarity with the entire lower Columbia system, including the Oregon side. Trips targeting the Astoria area are a fantastic way to experience the breadth of fishing this iconic river mouth has to offer, from the vast estuary to the initial river approaches.
