Check for places near you stocking for Free Fishing Weekend, and all year stocking.

The Columbia is closed to all salmon and steelhead sportfishing. The aluminum fleet of the week before is off the water. Some are feeling fortunate about a few salmon steaks in the freezer, some head a couple hundred miles west to squeeze the last several weeks of fall chinook season from their dwindling calendars.
Others are home, moaning about the closures, the year's disappointing tuna season, buoy 10's Quixotic results and low runs.
First trip of 2018 to the CR Buoy this year. The ocean was rougher than forecast.
Given local conditions, and slow reports from the coast, decided to bottom fish on Sunday, June 3, 2018. Well, about 10 seconds into fishing, Jeff has a fish on, a beautiful Chinook, took a jig on his first drop!
