Salmon Fishing in Oregon

I have lived off the Wilson River Highway for my entire half a century plus and never really fished it. Unfortunately my health has taken a sharp turn into the gutter and I need to have some help. I basically need to know where a few very easy access points are. I know about the boat ramp behind...

I will admit it has been a while since I have hit the open water but the 2 days we did was pretty successful, especially for somebody who is not a heavy salmon fisher but here it is. I had my Duckwort and it was pretty new but I had it rigged with a fish finder and I was using a GPS that I used...

Looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of boat salmon fishing who would like to go with me out of Scappoose Bay this year and spring 2021. I am currently a 1 man show and have a hard time finding people who actually show up to fish. If you know how to bait lines and run a reel, lets...

I love salmon patties and was thinking about using some of my freezer stock for salmon patties. Can salmon, besides being canned has bones and skin mixed in it....... bad stuff. It is easy enough to remove the pin bones and skin from a fillet. But it brings up some questions, Has any ever...

Still a few chrome fish hanging out in our Southern Oregon streams. With this last rain a fresh push of fish moved in and a few were even willing to bite. We started our day dropping over the falls on the Elk River just before daylight. I wish I had gotten a video of the ride down because it...

Hey guys, the past 2 years i had the chance to work on something really cool with a custom reel maker. Its a 2:1 gear ratio Mooching reel. Check out the knuckle busting session at the end as well to see how the kick back is. significantly less "dangerous" haha Does something like this...

Been fishing Detroit for years! I’m the guy in the blue sh!tbox boat usually non stop reeling in fish 😂, I went last weekend and pulled more good sized Kokanee then ever before, 13-15 inches consistently! What’s the biggest Kokanee you have seen come out of the lake and what’s the trick to land...

I know Tanner isn’t here much these days, but he is an incredible guide and always gets us into fish. Just wanted to give him some props here anyway. Roger did better than me by the way😀

We are headed to Newport for four days and was hoping to do some spinner fishing for salmon from the banks or jetties. Considering the tides, it does not seem that jetties would be a good place to be. We are beginners and trying keep our kids interested. Should we head up river? If so, how far...

Hey All, I'm new to salmon fishing and I'm gearing up for the fall/winter season. Been watching a lot of YouTube on the technique (spinner, drift/float & Mooching), but have no idea where and when. Seems like I read conflicting regulations online vs in the booklet- looks like Chinook are ok...

Natural abundance has its limits, especially when you dam the path to the breeding grounds-- as was the case with the giant Chinook salmon of the Pacific northwest. Seeing their enormous silvery forms leaping upriver is a miraculous sight in some of this archival footage, but a fish can’t leap...

I need some advice for bank fishing for coho on SS beach in Oregon.

Not having had a lot of success salmon fishing on my own I'm looking for feedback from some of you serious salmon guys. I've been building some big flashy spinners for trolling for salmon on the Columbia, this fall. The big ones have size 6.5 spinner blades. The little ones are size 3. This...
