Chinook Salmon
 Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most
important to anglers. The two fish are often found in the same waters
throughout Oregon and Washington and pursued in much the same way, but the
Chinook is the larger of the two and highly prized among anglers.
When
hooked, Chinook like to slug it out, while Coho are acrobatic and quick.
Chinook salmon are also known as king salmon or spring salmon. Sometimes
misspelled as samon. Many Seaside Oregon fishing charters offer
trips for Chinook, but guide trips are a more fun
and personal trip, and tend to be more productive as well.
Chinook are powerful swimmers that migrate hundreds of miles up northwest
rivers to their spawning grounds, and they can grow huge. The rod-and-reel
world record was taken in Alaska's Kenai River in 1985 and weighed 97
pounds, 4 ounces. Most fish caught by Oregon anglers, however, range from 15
to 40 pounds. At the end of a fishing line, Chinook salmon are absolute
brutes - hard-running, stubborn fighters that will give you all the
challenge you can handle, and sometimes more.
This
is Oregon coast fishing: Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay and the Columbia River
offer some of the top fishing for huge Chinook salmon as well as Coho salmon
and sturgeon, sometimes misspelled as sturgon.

Columbia River Fishing Guides
Let's Go Fishin' Guide Service offers some of the best fishing in the nation if not the
world and the same holds true for the regional Columbia River Fishing
Guides as they are as skilled and knowledgeable as any of their tropical
or saltwater fishing guide counterparts.
Referring to Columbia River fishing as some of the the best
fishing in the world is not as bold a statement as one would think. No we
aren't talking about typical sport fishing trips with all the colorful and
acrobatic billfish that most "sportfishermen" think of when you mention
'sport fishing'. Instead we are talking about Columbia River sport
fishing, something really special that the majority of anglers, especially
anglers in the southern regions never get a chance to experience.
Columbia River fishing means Sturgeon fishing, which means you are
fishing for a fish that can reach sizes likely bigger than you are and
when you catch one of these magnificent marine creatures you can take home
an Oregon charter fishing story none of your fishing buddies can compete
with. As fun and exciting as Sturgeon fishing is though it is not the only
type of fishing on the Columbia River and your local Oregon fishing guide
will also offer fishing charters for the many species of salmon and a few
other species in addition to some exciting Sturgeon fishing.
A Fishing License as well as applicable tags should
be obtained prior to your trip.
