Fish Northwest Oregon with professional guides
Jack Glass and Brandon Glass in the beautiful and scenic Columbia River
Gorge or the Sandy River for spring Chinook, fall salmon, sturgeon
weighing as much as 400 pounds and larger, hard
fighting winter steelhead, summer steelhead, and Oregon's "world
renowned trophy walleye" (photo below).
Jack & Shelley Glass are founders of "Jack's Snack N' Tackle Shop" in Troutdale, the only drive through
fish bait
and tackle shop in Oregon. Located right on the Sandy River.
Jack's is now operated by Rob and Brandi Brown of
R & B Lures. Tackle Shop hours are 7-5 p.m. six days a week Closed
Mondays. 503-665-2257.
The Sandy River and Columbia River provide some of the best fishing in
Oregon for Chinook salmon and steelhead. The Sandy River now has a wild
brood-stock program in place where wild winter steelhead are used for
hatchery brood-stock. 2005 was the first year of an all true wild
brood-stock return on the Sandy River. These steelhead are big, averaging
12 to 15 pounds each, and provide a battle that rivals no other. The
Columbia River provides excellent fishing for white sturgeon averaging 30
to 80 pounds, with oversize fish weighing as much as 400 pounds or more.
Trophy Walleye are also available on the Columbia River, these fine
eating fish average 3 to 8 pounds, some 10 to 25 pounds.
Don't forget, the scenic beauty and ruggedness of the Columbia
River Gorge and Sandy River Gorge. This too is a special part
of our trips. So be sure to bring along your camera for some fantastic
shots.
The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river canyon
cutting the only sea-level route through the Cascade Mountain Range.
It's 80 miles long and up to 4,000 feet deep with the north canyon walls
in Washington State and the south canyon walls in Oregon State. The
Columbia River Gorge is more than a gorgeous, natural wonder. It is also
a critical transportation corridor and is home to 70,000 people.
Chinook Salmon
Of the five species of Pacific salmon, the Chinook and Coho are the most
important to anglers. The two are often found in the same waters and
pursued in much the same way, but the Chinook is the larger of the two
and highly prized among anglers. The Columbia River Gorge is a prime
area to target Chinook salmon. When hooked, Chinook like to slug it out,
while Coho are acrobatic and quick.
Chinook are also known as the king salmon or spring
salmon. Chinook salmon 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 northwest anglers,
however, range from 15 to 40 pounds. At the end of a fishing line,
Chinooks are absolute brutes - hard-running, stubborn fighters that will
give you all the challenge you can handle, and sometimes more.
Salmon Trips
White Sturgeon
Sturgeon are always on tap for Catch & Release on the Lower Columbia
River. But Oregon sets seasons for retention of these special
prehistoric game fish. Common Names: Pacific sturgeon, Oregon sturgeon,
Columbia sturgeon, and Sacramento sturgeon. Sometimes misspelled as sturgon. White sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America
and can weigh over 1,500 pounds, be 20 feet in length, and live for over
100 years. Anadromous white sturgeon most commonly move into large
rivers in early spring, and spawn May through June.
White sturgeon are tough fighters -- so make sure you are
ready to do battle. Many days we will catch and release over 25 fish. If
your lucky enough to be here on a retention date you will quickly become
a coinsure of the best eating fish there is. If you like Halibut its a
sure thing you'll love Sturgeon.
A significant economic and cultural resource throughout
the Northwest, white sturgeon recently became a popular target fishery
with major commercial landings in the Columbia River. In fact, Columbia
River sturgeon production, with its valuable roe for caviar, is second
only to the former Soviet Union's production. The Columbia River is also
the site of an intense sport fishery, as is the San Joaquin Delta in
California and the Willapa Bay in Washington where guided fishing trips
are popular. The white sturgeon is also an important fish for Native
American fishermen on the Columbia and Klamath rivers.
