The Rivers We Fish, Dan Ponciano's Columbia River Fishing

The Cowlitz River
Washington's number one Steelhead producer with Steelhead up to 20 lbs. Winter fishing Nov-Jan, summer fishing from Jun-Aug.

The Wind River
Spring Salmon open April 1st and runs through June 15th only. Mid-May is prime time.

The Lewis River
Winter Steelhead November-January. Summer Steelhead June-August. Salmon (a.k.a. Silver's and/or King's) September-October, with Spring Salmon March-May. Definitely my favorite tributary for Steelhead and Kings, as well as Silvers.

   The Columbia River
     The Northwest's greatest River! Salmon,
    Steelhead, Sturgeon, and Walleye can all be caught
   out of the Columbia. Miles of river to fish. I
concentrate on the first 100 miles, from the mouth to
Bonneville Dam. I also fish above the dam, from
Bonneville to The Dalles.

The Willamette River
Winter Steelhead November-January. Summer Steelhead June-August. Salmon (a.k.a. Silver's and/or King's) September-October, with Spring
Salmon March-May. We typically
fish the Willamette river from
the Portland are down towards
Salem and fishing near Oregon
City for amazing Chinook Salmon
is a very popular fishery we
participate in.

Ocean trips are available in the summer months when water conditions allow. Salmon and Steelhead runs change annually - we are licensed to fish Oregon and Washington which includes all tributaries with peak opportunity. Features the top winter sturgeon fishery with great catch rates Dec - Mar. Spring Salmon are available March-May.
