  • Columbia River Fishing Report: Mixed Bag with Closures and Opportunities

    Columbia River Fishing Report: Mixed Bag with Closures and Opportunities
    May 5 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Columbia River fishing report for Monday, May 5, 2025.

    Folks, it's a mixed bag on the Columbia today. The spring Chinook run is still the talk of the town, with this year's forecast of 122,500 fish slightly better than last year's return[5]. However, I need to give you the straight scoop - the Columbia River from Buoy 10 all the way up to the Oregon/Washington border above McNary Dam is currently closed for salmon and steelhead angling[1]. The fisheries departments are monitoring the upriver spring Chinook run and might open additional opportunities as the run progresses.

    Not all is lost though! Walleye fishing is reported good in The Dalles and John Day pools[1]. Recent sturgeon checks showed no catch for five boats with only two anglers out trying their luck[1].

    For those willing to adjust their targets, there have been spring Chinooks showing up in the tributaries. With the recent rainfall, we should be seeing fresh pushes of fish into our local rivers[3].

    If you're heading to the Hood River area, that's been a consistent producer through fall, with good salmon action reported there as recently as October[2]. The Scappoose area had decent coho action in the fall as well.

    For the sturgeon enthusiasts planning ahead, Oregon and Washington have already set the January 2026 keeper sturgeon season for the Bonneville and The Dalles pools, so mark your calendars for Wednesdays and Saturdays.

    Hot spots today? I'd recommend trying your luck at Portland International Airport area where spring salmon were starting to show up in catches back in April[2]. Also, the tributaries are your best bet right now with the mainstem closures.

    Bait-wise, for the walleye in The Dalles, try bottom walkers with worm harnesses or jigging with nightcrawlers. For sturgeon, fresh smelt or pickled squid has been productive.

    Keep in mind there are fish consumption advisories for parts of the Columbia due to mercury and PCBs, so check the Oregon Health Authority guidelines before filling your freezer[1].

    For the latest on regulations and openings, check the fishing regulation update page from ODFW or WDFW. Things change fast on the Columbia, especially with these spring Chinook seasons.

    That's the word for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see you on the water!

  • Columbia River Fishing Report: Walleye Bites, Salmon Updates, and More

    Columbia River Fishing Report: Walleye Bites, Salmon Updates, and More
    May 4 2025
    ***Artificial Lure's Columbia River Fishing Report***
    May 4, 2025

    Mornin' anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishing report for the Columbia River area around Portland.

    First off, I gotta tell ya that the Columbia River from Buoy 10 all the way up to the Oregon/Washington border above McNary Dam is currently closed for salmon and steelhead angling. The fisheries folks are keeping an eye on the upriver spring Chinook run and might open things up as the run progresses, so stay tuned.

    Weather today is looking decent for early May - we're expecting partly cloudy skies with temps reaching the mid-60s. Sunrise was at 5:47 AM and sunset will be around 8:24 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water.

    The word on the water is that walleye fishing has been good in The Dalles and John Day pools. If you're after some tasty walleye, now's the time to get out there. I've heard from several locals that chartreuse jigs tipped with a nightcrawler have been the ticket lately.

    For those willing to travel a bit, the Hood River area has been producing some decent catches. Recent reports show that salmon fishing in that area was good in late April, with plenty of fish still working their way upriver. The 2025 forecast for upriver spring Chinook is 122,500 fish, which is better than last year but still below the 10-year average.

    If you're after sturgeon, mark your calendars - the keeper sturgeon season in Bonneville and The Dalles pools runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Check the regs for exact dates as this fishery is quota-based.

    For hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Scappoose area for coho. There have been decent reports coming from there recently. Another good bet would be the waters near Portland's downtown, where bass fishing has picked up with the warming water.

    Bait-wise, local anglers are having success with cured salmon eggs and sand shrimp. If you're more of a lure person like myself, K15 Kwikfish in chrome/chartreuse or copper/chartreuse have been working well along with Brad's Super Bait filled with tuna.

    Remember to check for any fish consumption advisories before keeping your catch, as there are some mercury and PCB warnings for certain areas of the Columbia.

    That's the skinny for today, folks. Good luck, tight lines, and I'll catch ya on the water!

  • Springtime Fishing on the Columbia River - Walleye Bites Hot, Salmon Outlook Hopeful

    Springtime Fishing on the Columbia River - Walleye Bites Hot, Salmon Outlook Hopeful
    May 3 2025
    COLUMBIA RIVER FISHING REPORT - May 3, 2025
    by Artificial Lure, Local Angling Expert

    Good morning, river rats! It's a beautiful Saturday on the Columbia, though you'll want to bundle up for the early morning chill before things warm up later today.

    Current situation ain't looking too hot for salmon and steelhead enthusiasts, I'm afraid. The Columbia River is currently closed for salmon and steelhead angling from Buoy 10 all the way upstream to the Oregon/Washington border above McNary Dam[1]. Fishery managers are keeping a close eye on the upriver spring Chinook run, which was forecasted at 122,500 fish this year - better than last year's return but still below the 10-year average[5]. They might open additional angling opportunities as the run progresses, so stay tuned.

    The good news? Walleye fishing is running hot in The Dalles and John Day pools right now[1]. If you're after sturgeon, note that the lower Columbia below Bonneville Dam had a weekly checking that showed no catch for five boats with two anglers recently[1], so temper your expectations.

    For those willing to travel upriver, the Hood River area has been producing some decent salmon action according to reports from early October, with fish still working their way upriver at that time[2]. The Scappoose area was also seeing some coho catches then.

    Spring Chinook typically don't show up in large numbers until late March or April, but we're starting to see them in catches, particularly around Portland International Airport and downriver[3]. With the run being similar to recent years, we should be seeing some quality mainstem fishing opportunities soon[5].

    Bait-wise, I'm hearing cured roe has been working well for the salmon that are around. For walleye, try bottom walkers with worm harnesses or jigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Hot spots include The Dalles Pool for walleye and, once salmon fishing reopens, the area around Portland International Airport looks promising.

    Remember, we've got some consumption advisories on parts of the Columbia due to high levels of mercury and PCBs, so check the Oregon Health Authority guidelines before you feast on your catch[1].

    For those planning a full day on the water, sunrise was around 5:55 AM today with sunset expected around 8:20 PM.

    Keep an eye on the regulations update page for any changes - the states might open additional salmon fishing opportunities as they monitor that spring Chinook run[1].

    That's the skinny for today, folks. May your lines stay tight and your coolers get heavy! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. See ya on the water!
