The Columbia River is the best fishery in the Pacific Northwest for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon. Book your trip to secure your spot.
The Columbia and Willamette rivers are home to some of the finest runs of salmon, steelhead and sturgeon anywhere in the world. The Columbia river receives water from tributaries in seven states as well as British Columbia, Canada. It is the fourth largest river by volume in North America.
