Spring Chinook Salmon

Spring Chinook Salmon in the Columbia River are among the toughest Salmon to catch. Patience is key as these fish sample your bait, requiring careful timing to ensure they fully commit. Conditions change daily, so what works one day might not the next. Depending on river and weather conditions, we use bait or switch to hardware to catch the elusive Spring Chinook. Our techniques range from diver and bait to trolling with 360’s and inline flashers, using hardware like SpinFish, spinners, and bait.

Our Columbia River fishing guides utilize the latest technology and top-of-the-line gear to maximize your chances of success. They will share their expertise and tips to help you land that trophy catch. All ages and fishing experience levels are more than welcome to book a trip with us! We are proud to be family/kid-friendly fishing guides.
