The Washington State Department of Fish and
Wildlife Exaggeration Department is expecting
nearly three-quarters of a million coho salmon
fish to return this fall season for the Buoy 10
fishery.

The returns for Adult Chinook or 'King' Salmon
are predicted to be over half a million.

As of August 1st, the bag limit is set at two
adult salmon, allowing one of the two to be an
Adult Chinook Salmon at least 24 inches and
up to two Adult Hatchery Coho at least 12
inches.

We fish on the Columbia River for Columbia
River Spring Chinook, also called Springers or
Spring Chinook,  Columbia River Fall Chinook,
also called King Salmon or Columbia River King
Salmon, Columbia River Coho and Columbia
River Sturgeon.  The Spring Chinook Return to
the Columbia River starting in April with
increasing numbers during the months of May
and June.  The Fall Chinook Run on the
Columbia River starts in August and Runs
through October.  Coho or Silver Salmon
return to the Columbia River from August
through early November.

Popular places to fish for Salmon on the
Columbia River include Buoy 10, Astoria,
Longview and the Bonneville Dam.

Sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River takes
place year round.  However, the most popular
time to fish for sturgeon is during the summer
months when the water is warm and the fish
are feeding.

There is a size limit on the sturgeon.  To the
right you can see an oversized sturgeon which
was safely released and well as a keeper sized
sturgeon.

The Columbia River is a River located in the
Pacific Northwest.  The Columbia River is know
as Wimahl, or Big River to the Native Chinook
people who live on the Columbia River.  The
Columbia River was named after the Columbia
Rediviva, the first know ship from the western
world to travel up the river.   

The Columbia River begins in the Canadian
Province of British Columbia and flows down
into the United States through Eastern
Washington until it forms a watery border
between Oregon and Washington State and
then reaches the Pacific Ocean.  The Columbia
River flows 1,250 miles from it's headwaters to
the Pacific Ocean.  There are 14 dams on the
Columbia River between it's headwaters and
the Pacific Ocean.
