Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho near Astoria is a fall tradition for many Oregon anglers, and for good reason. The Columbia River estuary, with its mix of saltwater and freshwater, provides ideal habitat as these salmon stage before their upstream spawning runs. Peak season generally runs from late August through October, coinciding with the return of mature fish. Focus your efforts in the lower Columbia River and its tributaries. Trolling with spinners or baitfish imitations is effective, but don't overlook the power of a well-placed plug. A key local tip is to pay close attention to the tides; incoming tides often bring fresh waves of fish into the estuary. Also, the Astoria-Megler Bridge provides excellent bank access for those without a boat. The Coho here are known for their aggressive strikes, making for some exciting battles.
