Sockeye Salmon
Astoria, Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia River, presents a unique opportunity to intercept sockeye salmon as they make their way upstream. The Columbia River sockeye run is one of the largest on the West Coast, and Astoria is strategically positioned to take advantage of this. The peak season is typically late June and July. Target these fish as they move through the lower Columbia River, focusing on areas near the shipping channel and the mouths of tributaries. Trolling with flashers and spinners is a common and effective technique. A crucial local tip: pay close attention to the tides and currents. Sockeye tend to move with the tides, so fishing during incoming or outgoing tides can increase your chances. Also, be aware of the heavy boat traffic in the area, especially during peak season. The Columbia River sockeye are known for their impressive size and excellent table fare, making them a prized catch for anglers.
