    "Columbia River Salmon Fishing: A Promising Fall Season Ahead"
    2024/11/03
    As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene on the Columbia River near Portland is shaping up to be quite interesting, especially with the fall salmon season in full swing.

    **Weather and Tidal Conditions:**
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The sunrise was at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:14 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, which should provide decent fishing conditions.

    **Fish Activity:**
    The fall salmon fishing has been a bit spotty but still productive. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of Chinook and coho salmon. In the area from Portland to Longview, 25 salmonid boats were counted, with some boats reporting catches of Chinook and coho.

    **Catch Reports:**
    In the Bonneville Pool, which includes the area upstream from Bonneville Dam to The Dalles Dam, anglers kept two Chinook, 71 coho, and three jack coho, while releasing five Chinook and 12 coho. This indicates a healthy presence of salmon in the river.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For this time of year, spinners and SpinFish have been bringing in the strikes. Anglers have had success using these lures, especially when fishing upstream in the Columbia River Gorge below Bonneville Dam. Live bait such as herring or anchovies can also be effective for catching both Chinook and coho salmon.

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the best areas to fish right now is the Columbia River Gorge, particularly below Bonneville Dam. This area has seen very good fishing for both Chinook and coho salmon. Another hot spot is the Hood River area above the bridge, where you can keep wild coho and have been reporting good catches of Chinook salmon as well.

    Overall, the conditions are favorable, and with the right gear and knowledge of the hot spots, you should have a productive day on the water. Make sure to check the latest regulation updates before you head out, as they can change frequently.
