The Sandy River and Columbia River provide some of the best fishing in Oregon for salmon and steelhead. The Sandy River now has a wild brood-stock program in place where wild winter steelhead are used for hatchery brood-stock. These steelhead are big, averaging 12 to 15 pounds each, and provide a battle that rivals no other. The Columbia River, in the Columbia River Gorge, provides excellent guided fishing for white sturgeon averaging 30 to 80 pounds each, with oversize fish weighing as much as 400 pounds or more. Trophy Walleye fishing is also available on the Columbia River, these fine eating fish average 3 to 8 pounds with some in the 10 to 25 pound range. Columbia River walleye are becoming a popular target fish for Oregon and Washington anglers.

Don't forget, the scenic beauty and ruggedness of the Columbia River Gorge and Sandy River Gorge is also a special part of our trips. So be sure to bring along your camera for some fantastic shots.
