Summer is just around the corner, and that means prime time for Columbia River fishing! At Double M Outdoors (DMO), our summer dates for Astoria fishing charters and Portland fishing trips are filling up fast. Whether you’re dreaming of fighting a monster sturgeon, reeling in Chinook salmon, or taking the family on a fun-filled bottom fishing adventure, now is the time to reserve your spot.
Why Summer is the Best Time to Fish the Columbia River
From June through September, the Columbia River explodes with opportunity. Water temps are ideal, baitfish are abundant, and anglers of all experience levels can catch fish. Here’s why summer stands out:
-
🎣 Sturgeon: Summer keeper seasons often reopen in June—book early to catch your slot.
-
🐟 Salmon: Summer Chinook runs (and Coho later in the season) offer fast action and big fish.
-
🦀 Crabbing: Combine your charter with Dungeness crabbing near Astoria.
-
🎯 Bottom Fishing: Rockfish and lingcod are hot all summer on the coast.
This is your chance to get in on guided Oregon fishing trips when conditions are at their best.
Our Most Popular Summer Trips
✅ Astoria Fishing Charters
Launch directly from the Columbia River mouth to target salmon, sturgeon, and bottom fish. These trips offer amazing scenery and non-stop action near the Oregon coast.
✅ Portland Fishing Trips
Perfect for locals or travelers based inland. Fish the lower Columbia or Willamette River for salmon, sturgeon, or smallmouth bass.
✅ Family-Friendly Combos
Ask us about combo trips: bottom fishing + crabbing or salmon + sturgeon!
