What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Portland, Oregon for the first time?

To Look on fishingbooker.com to select the right fishing. It was great. Only the way to get a licence+harvest list is too complicated. It is still paper required. I think everything must go digital. Iam a German and I needed to go around to find a place where these papers could be printed out.

Consider how to get to and from the designated pick up spot.taxi was the only way back.cost$80

Allow plenty of time to get from the airport to the coast. The best salmon fishing is near the mouth of the Columbia River or just offshore.

I had never been fishing for Sturgeon and now I’m glad we did! Great suggestion by the Captain. Great action all day. Big fish!

Yes. I went for the experience, not just the fish. The Columbia River and Portland are beautiful.
