Columbia River Fishing Adventures

At Columbia River Fishing Adventures, we proudly provide year-round guided fishing charters across the Columbia River, from Astoria to Rufus, Oregon. As a father-and-son team with more than two decades of experience, we specialize in professionally guided trips for Spring Chinook, Summer Chinook, Fall Salmon, trophy Sturgeon, and Walleye. Our captains are fully licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard and certified in CPR and First Aid, ensuring every trip is conducted with the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Whether launching near Portland, fishing Buoy 10 by Astoria, or running upriver toward The Dalles Dam, we position our clients where the fish are biting and focus on delivering productive, well-organized days on the water.

We guide salmon anglers through the Columbias renowned spring, summer, and fall runs, including Chinook, coho, and sockeye. Our sturgeon trips include both catch-and-keep seasons in designated areas and expansive catch-and-release opportunities, offering everything from steady action to oversized trophy pursuits. Walleye charters, particularly near Rufus, provide outstanding table fare and strong numbers throughout much of the year. With thousands of satisfied clients and decades spent mastering these fisheries, we are committed to providing world-class equipment, well-maintained boats, and an experience defined by expertise, preparation, and consistent success.
