Fishing Astoria Oregon … Bouy 10

---

When it comes to salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest, it’s the Columbia River that produces the most for sport anglers. And, of the three major runs of salmon returning to the Columbia, it’s the fall run that can number a million strong and draw anglers from around the globe to share in the bounty. Just inside the Columbia River mouth, often referred to as Buoy 10, is where you can catch a limit of hard-fighting salmon fresh in from the Pacific Ocean. The season runs during August and September. All five species of salmon are big, with Chinook and Coho likely the ones you’ll catch at Buoy 10. Coho salmon, which average 7-to- 9 pounds, must be of hatchery origin to keep – recognized by their missing adipose fin. Chinook come in all sizes with the average being 15-to-25 pounds with some dipping the scale past the 50 pound mark.
