2010 Oregon Fishing Season
Listed below are the seasons and pre-season predictions
for the year. Although the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife doesn't always get their predictions correct
every year, most "predictors" point to outstanding opportunity for the 2010 angler.
Thank you to all you that have fished with me over my 13-year Oregon career and thanks to
those that are inquiring about my services for the future. I couldn't continue to do
this job if I didn't love it and the great personalities that I get to fish with every year.
I hope you have a great 2010!

Oregon Fishing Diversity
The productive waters of Oregon are often overlooked as a sportfishing
destination in the United States. This is just one of the reasons
Oregon fishing has so much to offer. For example, because of the expanded
consumptive fisheries Oregon fishing enthusiasts realize, catch and release
opportunities often get overlooked. This gives Oregon fishing guides the
opportunity to show our customers some unparalleled outdoor experiences
that can't be beat anywhere in the world. Imagine you are the only boat on the
entire lower Columbia River in the peak of the sturgeon fishery. The July sun
provides a welcome warmth where air temperatures top out at a comfortable 75 degrees.
You are "hunting" for the school of sturgeon that will provide
45 minutes of nonstop doubles and triples of line screaming, tail walking mayhem.
Most people can't get over the immense size and fight these prehistoric creatures
provide but this is just another day and Oregon fishing at its finest.

Oregon Fishing Opportunities
The Columbia River summer sturgeon fishery is just one of many options an angler
may choose to explore. On any given day of the year, Oregon fishing opportunities
range from steelhead fishing Oregon's famed Deschutes River, drift boat fishing for
spring chinook on an Oregon Cascade Range fed river to saltwater fishing for big halibut,
powerful schools of tuna or abundant rock fish species. Oregon fishing is some of the
most diverse on the entire West Coast.
Oregon Fishing Excitement
Most anglers don't realize Oregon's potential until they experience it for themselves.
Alaska and British Columbia often draw much of the sportfishing hype but Oregon's
Columbia River sees returns of over one million salmon and steelhead annually maintaining
its status as the West Coasts most productive River. Throw into the mix rivers like the
Rogue, Umpqua and the John Day and estuary fisheries like Tillamook Bay for its famed
huge fall chinook and you'll realize Oregon fishing will exceed your expectations
