🎣 New for Summer 2025: Steelhead & Sturgeon Combo Trips in Astoria, Oregon

If you’ve been looking for a high-action, beginner-friendly guided fishing trip on the Oregon coast—Double M Outdoors has something brand new for you this summer. We’re excited to announce combo trips targeting Columbia River steelhead and catch-and-release sturgeon, running out of Astoria from June through September!


🌊 What Makes These Combo Trips Unique?

This isn’t your average day on the water.

Our new Steelhead + Sturgeon combo trips are designed to give you the best of both worlds—fast-paced action on light tackle and hard-hitting battles with Columbia River giants. Here’s how it works:

  • 🎯 We hit the water at first light, setting out based on the best fishing tides that morning.

  • 🎣 Depending on conditions, we’ll start with either summer steelhead or white sturgeon.

  • 🔁 Once we’ve hooked into enough of the first species, we’ll switch gears and chase the second.

It’s a flexible, high-energy trip where you’ll stay busy, learn new techniques, and walk away with fish in the cooler and memories to match.
