Title: Columbia River fishing
Post by: allen on August 01, 2017, 02:55:53 PM
One clipped, one unclipped.  Yesterday it would have been an illegal June hog.  Today it's a legal URB, gotta love August

I have a question regarding license. I am going to fish out of Astoria, Or September 1st. I have a WA fishing license and will get a Columbia river endorsement. Do I need an Oregon license since we will be launching from Oregon? :dunno:

Released a smallish dark one a couple weeks ago which I thought was a Tule.  Game checker said Tule's had been checked at Kalama.  Even that small one was a good fighter but I have not heard of any big ones.
Seeing a few URB's each day, got my second one recently, but it is certainly still very sporadic.

Nice fish, just wondering if you buy licneses for both states can you keep two limits, a limit for each state?

Fished out of Astoria on Saturday the 12th for my bachelor party with Waters West. Our guide Chris did a great job getting us on the fish. We limited out with the biggest one being about 18-20lbs.

Does anyone have a link to the law? I know someone going fishing and someone else told them they could catch a limit for each license. I would like to show them the law to save them from getting in trouble. My apologies for getting off-topic. Those are all great looking fish, I'm going to tell them you guys have been doing well.

My friend has been guiding for a week or so and has got his limit of kings everyday.  He's only got one clipped coho though.

Page 51 of the regs:  "An angler fishing the Columbia River is restricted to one daily limit even if licensed by both states."

Thanks very much, this will save some guys from doing something that was incorrectly told to them!

Anyone fish astoria area/buoy 10 this weekend August 18-20? We fished friday, saturday and 1/2 sunday.. got 6 kings total and a coho.  Lost three nice kings to sealions along with all the gear. Talk about frustrating...A helpless feeling and can really piss a guy off  :IBCOOL:

Lots of fun though overall! :tup:

Rubber bullets.  I've seen people use firecrackers.  It works sometimes.

My son and his friends went to Astoria last Friday, they limited on kings, all the coho were natives and had to be released. The friends's 4 year old daughter caught a 38" king, they figured it was 30 to 35 pounds.

(sorry I don't have a photo of the big one to share)
